Damira Jelavić is the founder of Ministry of Happiness, a retreat concept created to offer women space to pause, reset, and reconnect with themselves.
Her work is shaped by years of experience living and working internationally, including time spent in Dubai, where the idea for Ministry of Happiness was first developed.
Rather than a traditional coaching approach, Damira focuses on creating environments where real connection, reflection, and meaningful conversations happen naturally.
She brings together women from different backgrounds and creates a space that is both structured and relaxed — allowing participants to slow down while still gaining clarity and new perspectives.
Her retreats are known for their intimate atmosphere, attention to detail, and balance between personal growth and effortless experience.
