Join Katrina Baccetti, Tankut Denker, and guest teacher Melanie Shine for an 8 day yoga + sailing retreat to explore the stunning landscapes of Türkiye and Greece.

This offering will offer a unique opportunity to embark on a mindful travel experience and immerse in a conscious community. This retreat will hold space for you to dive deep into daily practice rituals and focus on creating optimal health and well-being from within. 

As we travel together, Katrina will share morning practices that integrate meditation, breathwork, and vinyasa yoga. Afternoon practices and community offerings will be shared by Katrina, Tankut, and Melanie.

We’ll begin our retreat journey by sailing the Aegean Sea and exploring the Turkish Riviera. We'll visit the Greek island of Symi, where we’ll spend for 3 nights and have an opportunity to explore local sites and shops.

Next, we’ll sail back to Türkiye and spend our remaining retreat days at Bonjuk Bay in Muğla, Türkiye.

The vision of Bonjuk is to foster a global community of seekers, artists and future makers. Our mission is to create experiences and places where this loving, creative and vibrant community can gather, grow, collaborate, learn, share and celebrate life together. The Bonjuk community exists at the intersection of consciousness, creativity and transformation.

Transformation begins with willingness to be open. Willingness to contribute and share the gifts you were born with. The change we need in our world begins with the change we can make inside ourselves. Participants are invited to celebrate, co-create and transform with us.

We are delighted to host a stunning lineup of guest teachers on retreat, including: Melanie Shine & Carrie Goodman. Keep reading to learn more about our guest teachers and their abundant community offerings.
