About this trip

Rejuvenate, rejoice, and dive into the fullness and freedom of your heart at our first co-ed retreat in a gorgeous seaside sanctuary surrounded by mountain vistas in beautiful Montenegro. 8 Days & 7 nights of creative exploration and inspiration through daily movement and meditation practices, sacred songs and storytelling, delicious vegan cuisine, nature excursions and artistic workshops to connect with and celebrate the abundance of your own heart alongside a loving community from around the world.

What Makes This Retreat Special

Daily Yoga Asana & Meditation

Daily all-levels embodied yoga asana practices and themed meditations guided by your facilitators Tiana, Sophia & Adam. Discover speciality classes such as Creative Vinyasa, Partner Yoga, Bhakti Flow, Candlelit Restorative, and Cold Plunge Pranayama & Meditation at the beach.

Workshops & Special Events

Plant-based cuisine
Enjoy two daily nutritious, homemade vegan buffets. The Mahakala menu is crafted with love by Dr Vesna Lemm, a detox and nutrition specialist, and two big meals a day is based on intermittent fasting philosophy.  At each buffet, there is always something for everyone, with a variety of delicious dishes, from freshly-made pastries to homegrown vegetable salads.

Sensitive and curious, and always ready for an adventure, often in search of beauty, special places in nature, and large bodies of water to submerge myself in. I am a yoga facilitator with a deep love for movement, whether that's creative vinyasa sequences, embodiment dance, animal movement, or arm balance play. I studied yoga in North Sumatra, Indonesia with Flying Elephant Yoga school (200h) and in Costa Rica with Authentic Movements (300h). I cannot wait to dance with you!
