Do you need to slow down & re-charge?
Join us for a nourishing week immersed in the stunning mountains of Slovenia with daily yoga and meditation
This is your week to re-connect and re-charge. All sessions are optional, so you can take exactly what you need. There will be plenty of free time for reading, wandering through the trees, swimming, sauna, reading, sun-bathing, forest-bathing, napping…
“I want to say thank you so much for the retreat. It was an amazing & necessary experience. It’s new & refreshing for me to be in a space with a community of people trying to find greater connection in their lives. I feel so much lighter and more connected”
This break from your usual schedule is a powerful way to come back to centre and establish or deepen your practice, taking all the benefits home with you.
Our daily schedule will offer morning practice at the peaceful, 'sattvic' time of day, journaling inspiration and philosophy teachings with personal time to reflect. Our yoga programme will offer energising vinyasa, mindful slow flow and meditation to quieten the mind and rest deeply.
We'll stay close to the authentic meaning of Yoga and Vedānta philosophy, with periods of traditional 'mauna' practice (community silence) and mindful meditation, giving you the space to re-connect with your purpose and come home to your true nature of ‘pūrṇa’ (fullness).
Our morning sessions will be scheduled at a time that gives you enough deep sleep. Plus, I’ll guide an (optional!) supported digital detox so you can truly enjoy a sanctuary away from busy, switched-on daily life.
Our home for the week has 23 hectares of its own land to explore, surrounded by forests and meadows, as Ana from the retreat centre says, "as far as the eye can see and the feet can carry".
You're welcome just as you are, whether you want to connect socially or feel like re-charging with quiet time, or a mixture of the two.
Imagine mountain views for miles, acres of woodland to explore right on our doorstep, and a refreshing natural pool to jump into after the sauna.
Our food all week will be alive with energy and nourishment, picked freshly from the land's own permaculture gardens and put together with love according to Ayurveda principles. You’ll enjoy a healthy, varied, organic brunch and dinner with tea and snacks throughout the day.

TRAVEL INFO
… is easy and affordable - by train, coach and air
There are many train & coach options for environmentally-friendly travel to Ljubljana or nearby Graz.
To go by train, there’s a 10-hour connection from Berlin to Ljubjana with just one change in Munich. Travel to Graz is also possible - here’s the connection for a direct night train Berlin > Graz.
The closest airports are Ljubljana, Venice, Graz, Zagreb & Trieste. Most people travel to Ljubljana and stay the night there before our shared taxi on the retreat start day. Ljubljana is a beautiful place to explore!
For Graz, a direct flight connection (Eurowings) and direct night train are possible. Graz is only a half hour further drive from Veduna than Ljubljana. The taxi company GoOpti runs affordable shared transfers directly to the retreat centre if you’d like to go via Graz and arrange your own journey to Veduna.
Shared taxi transfers:
We make the journey from Ljubljana (if you choose to arrive there) easy for you by arranging an optional group taxi transfer on the first and last day of the retreat, whether you’re arriving into the city or the airport. The cost spread is across all members of the group. There is an extra fee for pick-up from the airport (ask me for info if needed).
The taxi on our start day leaves Ljubljana (city / airport) at approx. 12:00 and leaves Veduna on the last day at. approx. 12:00 - either to the airport or city centre as required. Exact times to be confirmed.
If you make your own way to Veduna we ask that you please arrive between 13:30 - 14:30 on the retreat start day and depart at 12:00 with the rest of us on the last day. Thank you.
