Excursions

In the 7-Day SunMoon Retreat - All-inclusive wellness and adventure experience, all the activities are derived from the concept of the Five Elements. Each element expresses itself differently, thus five particular, immersive adventures to give you the full experience of the Five Elements wisdom. 

We take you to remote locations far from the crowds. Seagulls in the sky. Salty skin. Windy touch. Dynamics of the group. Synergy. Cooperation. Energy and challenge. Solitude and surrender to the great body of water

Breath. Beauty. The rhythm of the whole. 

Possibly, dolphins passing by in the sunset sky. Restful tired body, grateful heart. 

Extra excursions

Guided Explorations Experience the soul of Istria when the region is at its most peaceful. In the low season, we host extra excursions to the most amazing local sites. There is a reason this region is called Terra Magica—and we are honored to share the magic of our homeland with you.

Yoga

Mornings are for subtlety. Song of the birds on our Zen garden cherry trees. A gentle ride to the beach forest. Breath travels through the movement, waking up the body. Dive in the sea. Still, but ever so lively.

Daily Yoga Practice Every package includes daily morning classes led by professional teachers and suitable for all levels.

  • Moon Program: Focuses on the steady, restorative path of traditional Hatha yoga.

  • SunMoon Retreat: A diverse exploration of styles including Hatha, Vinyasa, Power, and Yin Yoga. These sessions follow our unique "Element of the Day" philosophy, incorporating the Five Movements for a holistic experience.

  • Meditations and breathwork included.

Natali was a wonderful guide and taught me exercises that I have not seen in my 3 years of practice

Wisdom of the Five Elements

  • Living in harmony with nature is living in harmony with yourself. It allows your natural talents to express themselves and you experience them as your joy of service to the people around you. Understanding the interconnectedness of all life allows the highest virtues of intuition, confidence, compassion, understanding, love and simplicity to lead your life. 

    This is the life of exploring infinite potential, at times daring and at time yielding. Life of constant growth, creativity and aliveness. A life lived in wisdom and elegance..

Interactive talks with Marin Vayu is only in the SunMoon Retreat program.  

I ve seen so many satsangs dharma talks and various lectures ( been on more than 50 retreats ) but the wisdom that Marin brought was phenomenal.
That stands out because the other stuff was all magical, but to have those talks so accessible and really brilliant wisdom is very rare. So yeah, real nugget.
