Marin & Natali
Hello, dear Traveler!
We are Marin and Natali, your hosts. We are also founders and owners of the Five Elements Retreat Center. Together with Marin’s family and our friends, we have been leading wellness and adventure retreats since 2017.
Marin is a professional adventure guide and he shares the knowledge of the Five Elements.
Natali's creative nature expresses itself through food, nutrition, and yoga.
Sometimes, we also have other team members like chefs and professional yoga teachers.

It is the story of Love and Wisdom. We met by the grace of the universe.
We were completely different people. One of us was a mystic ready to become a "hermit" and the other one was a model ready to go to Hollywood. At least, it seemed so.
As always, life had other plans. We knew we were in front of a big challenge. Through Love and the Five Elements wisdom, our relationship started to bloom in growth, support, and loving inspiration. Now, our story inspires many beautiful souls that are in search of harmony in relationships or a more fulfilled life.
When that magical moment happened to us, many doors opened and one of them was to start sharing our stories on the retreats. .
Both of us love to be in Nature, meet wonderful people, and show them the beauty of nature within us and around us. We feel especially blessed receiving a message from them, after they return home, that the beauty and wisdom experienced here opened up their perspective of life and enriched their experience.
We invest love and care in our program because we want to give back to life what we receive from it.
