LE RETOUR SUR SOI

You will spend your stay at the "Villa Stari Kamen Wellness", an authentic place in the heart of unspoiled nature.

A soothing place, conducive to the practice of Yoga and meditation.

​

Villa Strari Kamen Wellness is located in the heart of Mediterranean nature. The Zrmanja river is very close and provides freshness when the temperatures rise.

You will spend this week of Yoga and Meditation Workshop in a completely privatized place, just for you. We welcome a maximum of 8 students, in order to guarantee you a quality of welcome and attention for your practice.

​

The Villa Stari Kamen Wellness respects the authentic architecture of the place with its stones from the country and an eco-responsible approach with mainly recovered furniture completely renovated with ecological products, autonomy using rainwater and an electricity system thanks to wind turbines.

​

In addition to recharging your batteries through the practice of Yoga and Meditation, you will be able to discover the beauties offered by this beautiful region of Dalmatia, its waterfalls, its monasteries, a warm and crystalline sea, rafting, canyoning, beautiful walks in the mountains, from the boat in the canyon of the river Krka. In short, many activities to complete your stay and your free time.

​

A perfect mix between the discovery of oneself and the discovery of an extraordinary and authentic country.

Several spaces for the practice of yoga and meditation, La Villa Stari Kamen Wellness offers you:

• a large indoor practice room of 55 m² upstairs with a large bay window open to nature,

• a large space around the pool

• Plus many places directly in the heart of nature or by the nearby river.

Thanks to its large garden surrounding the cozy center, relaxation areas and the Pool house will allow you to isolate yourself if you wish to share your discussions with other trainees or to read quietly in the shade of oaks or olive trees.

​

We have several contacts with the neighbors around to provide us with fruit and vegetables from the garden, eggs from happy chickens, cheese, honey produced with real respect for the animal. We make sure that all animal products or animal by-products are produced with respect and benevolence and remain outside any industrial exploitation.

the rules of good conduct

To ensure the smooth running of the Internship, your attitude during the retreat is very important.

The program of this internship is set up with a well-structured sequence. All the elements that make up this program have a specific function and no practice or activity is left to chance. They interact to create a harmonious experience. The program will actively engage you, except during free time.  

​

The kitchen is a private space, if you need anything please ask, we will be happy to serve you.

​

The program mobilizes your full attention and requires an active presence on your part.

To participate in this course, it is necessary to take part, without exception, in everything that is defined in the program  except optional activities.

We are a group and we share this experience TOGETHER. If you need to find a little solitude, no worries, you can do it during the free time which is very numerous and daily and precisely done to take some distance if you want and take time for yourself, this is also necessary.

​

The optional activities offered and included in the Internship program are not interchangeable with regard to a personal wish.

You will not be allowed to organize an activity yourself instead of the one offered in the program. 

However, you have twice a significant period of FREE TIME, you can quite organize a choice of outing (the organization of transport, access, payment, time management is yours) You will just have to respect the departure and departure times. return according to the SNY program.

Croatia is a beautiful country with so much to do that we could stay there a lifetime, which was my mom's choice :-) so we had to make choices.

The selection of so-called "optional" activities was made on the basis of several parameters, including geographic proximity and in optimizing the cost of the activity so that they can be financially accessible to all. If you are interested in certain tourist places not scheduled in this course, do not hesitate to extend your stay EXCLUDING the course or to come back during your next vacation.  

​

As you have seen, the program is organized with schedules that take into account the scheduling of the SNY program, and the time constraints of the activities. he therefore asked you to respect the schedules of the various classes and activities so that we can all start the Yoga and Meditation classes or leave / return on time to our optional activities.

​

While this experience will be rewarding, there can also be difficult times. Your stay with us is a break from your normal life, and at the same time you have come to work on yourself.

Leave your mind open, caring, tolerant of the different personalities and characters that make up the group.  

​

Do not come to this course out of curiosity!

Come to this internship to live immersive experiences full of meaning,

but also to spend a moment of exchange and sharing with others through a common practice of Yoga and Meditation.

A time to find yourself, take stock of yourself, your life, recharge your batteries and why not gain serenity, redefine your professional or family life orientations, review your priorities, find peace, balance and harmony ...

​

"... I look forward to spending this privileged moment of sharing with you under the Croatian sun ..."
