The Living Earth & The Authentic Human

Šibenik, Croatia
October 2 – 8, 2026

Intention

It is an invitation to experience life more fully and reconnect with yourself. Rather than focusing on learning or fixed answers, we deepen perception, sensitivity and awareness through presence —moving beyond the mind into sensing and feeling. Supported by nature, its beings and a small group, each participant can discover a more direct relationship with themselves and the world around them.

Who is the retreat for?

This retreat is for anyone who feels called to deepen their relationship with nature and with themselves. It is for those who are curious about the living qualities of places, or who simply long to slow down and step away from constant noise, pressure and distraction.

It may be especially valuable for teachers, educators, facilitators, artists, therapists, coaches and others interested in experiential work in nature. No previous experience is needed—only openness, curiosity and sensitivity, together with an appreciation for silence, authentic presence, and respectful sharing.

What will we do during the retreat?

During the retreat, we will visit several beautiful places in nature each day. Through simple guided exercises, we will explore these places with attention and curiosity, developing greater awareness of our surroundings and our inner experience.
The focus is on slowing down, being present, and noticing what arises in the moment. People may experience nature in different ways — through sensations, emotions, images, colors, energy, or simply a sense of calm and presence.
After each exploration, we will gather in a circle where participants can share their experiences and reflections. The small group setting creates a supportive environment for learning, exchange, and deeper connection with nature and oneself.

The results of the retreat

Participants may leave with greater trust in their inner listening, a deeper awareness of their body, feelings and intuition, and a more intimate relationship with nature. This can bring greater presence, sensitivity and clarity into everyday life, helping them recognise habitual patterns, make more grounded choices and live with greater authenticity and in peace.

Agenda

We will visit different spots in nature. We will also visit Krka National Park with its famous waterfalls and take a boat trip to the Kornati Islands to meet the dolphins.
