Lakshmi & the Joy of Being
Croatia Wellness Retreat

Step into a world where the joy of loving presence blossoms in your life once again. You are invited to join this rejuvenating retreat in a sun-kissed destination, from the crystal-clear waters to the breathtaking landscapes of Croatia. Embrace the beauty of connection and tranquillity as you immerse yourself in this idyllic setting, perfect for nurturing your spirit and rediscovering your inner peace.

Enjoying being present in your body

Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity, and beauty, embodies the vibrant joy of experiencing life through the physical form and connecting with the divine within that experience. Her presence in your journey symbolizes the abundance and joy you can cultivate through spiritual practices. ​
In your journey, you can find yourselves navigating a spectrum of attitudes. Some people tend to adopt a serious or rigid mindset, while others may struggle to cultivate a sense of dedication and commitment.
It's fascinating how one can oscillate between these states; you might not always recognize the rigidity within yourselves, or you could readily embrace dedication or vice versa.
Find space in your daily life to practice breaking free from these rigidities and opening yourself to new experiences and growth.
This week, you are invited to explore joy through enriching practices such as chanting, simple movement, and energy work, designed to cultivate a sense of flow within you. Together, you'll work on releasing your minds from restrictive concepts about spirituality and other pillars of life, encouraging a more fluid and joyful life experience.
Embrace this opportunity to connect deeply with your body and discover the divine beauty that resides within each moment.
The offer

1. Chanting

Chanting, a beautiful practice of singing rhythmic mantras to Hindu gods and goddesses, is a celebration of joy. You will also use other songs that inspire joy within you, creating a harmonious and uplifting experience.
Chanting is a practice that opens your heart, enabling you to connect with yourself lovingly. It's a journey of introspection and self-awareness, free from the distractions of a restless mind.
2. Simple movement

Alexandra brings a wealth of experience from her extensive training in diverse physical practices such as yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and more. Drawing from her rich repertoire, she carefully curates simple yet powerful movements tailored for beginners, creating a gentle pathway to reconnect you with your body. Each movement is thoughtfully designed to awaken your senses, encourage mindfulness, and guide you back home to your physical self.
3. Energy work

Richard has dedicated numerous years to develop his skills in the art of energy work, and his expertise has empowered countless individuals on their healing and self-discovery journeys.
These skills will also flow into the energy work part of this retreat.
4. Sharing / reflection

Conversations and reflecting within the group can be a great way to spot where you may feel stuck. This valuable exchange brings hidden thoughts to light and helps you compartmentalize what's happening in the other three practices, fostering a sense of support and understanding.
Additionally, it provides a wonderful opportunity to connect and learn from each other's experiences!
