Weekend retreat

Enjoy 2 days of yoga, meditation, and massage in a setting designed for rest, clarity, and renewal. This weekend retreat is ideal for anyone seeking a digital detox, a calmer mind, or simply a pause from the pace of everyday life. Surrounded by beautiful nature, it offers space to restore balance, support recovery from overwork, and ease the cycle of fatigue and poor sleep.

Meditation with experienced teachers

To quiet the mind, release what is unnecessary, and reconnect with yourself and the world in a deeper way, meditation is essential. Guided by experienced teachers, this process becomes more accessible and supportive.

Morning yoga practice

Each morning begins with yoga as a practice of connection — with the body, the breath, and the self. More than physical exercise, it is a complete system of knowledge, breathing, and movement designed to support harmony in both health and emotions.

Massage

Massage offers deep relaxation and a refreshed sense of well-being. Several massage techniques are available, allowing you to choose the one that suits you best.

Who facilitates?

The retreat brings together a diverse community of masters from different countries, teachings, and practices. Katya Antoni, Daria Izvekova, Patrick Antoni, Levan Matitashvili, Tea Kereselidze, Luka, and invited guests will accompany you during this Silent Retreat.
