All-inclusive destination retreat to restore and cultivate your personal power through rest, movement, and nourishment.

We plan vacations. We pack for them. We travel to them. We wake up early for them. We fill our days with cool things to do while there. We feel the need to take advantage of every minute we’re away from daily obligations, right? But does any actual relaxing happen?

Rest is vital for our mental, emotional, physical, soulful health, and inner healing.

With Rest and Receive™, you are taken care of from arrival to departure in Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, and throughout our leisurely journey together in Istria, a triangular peninsula at the head of the Adriatic arm of the Mediterranean Sea.

This retreat guides you to intentionally enter and consistently remain in the states of restoration and cultivation of your personal power through rest, movement, and nourishment. Some adventure takes place, too!

We’ll explore spectacular locations of ancient history, including Roman temples, colosseums, and basilicas, medieval towns in refreshing natural settings, mystical stone hills, and ancient Goddess sites. We’ll also spend time in vibrant city settings, romancing our taste buds with gourmet organic food bursting with vitality.

Throughout it all, there will be plenty of rest and no busy “running around.” After arrival, you will freshen up in Zagreb, at the famous Hotel Dubrovnik, walking distance from premium sites, including Kamenita Vrata – a sacred gateway dedicated to Mother Mary.

After a couple of days in Zagreb, we’ll head to the coastal town of Rovinj on a private bus and settle into Hotel Eden – surrounded by pine trees and a quick walking distance from the Adriatic Sea.

We’ll enjoy the hotel’s natural setting as our main place of lodging, avoiding the draining packing and unpacking. On most days, we’ll activate our adventurous spirits and embark on day trips across Istria, as well as one day in Italy!

Even on the go, we’ll practice the art of “dolce far niente” – the art of “sweet doing nothing,” just being in a place of beauty, watching the sunrise with a cup of bold espresso, or soaking in the purple sunset over a cup of tea or a glass of pleasant local wine.

On a daily basis, we’ll incorporate movement practices, and skillful workshops, to teach you how to amplify, maintain, and return to self-rejuvenation on-demand, continuing after the retreat.

Rest and Receive was such a wonderful journey! There was a plan and plenty of free time, there were amazing group activities, and time for me to wander on my own. We all got along so beautifully, and gave each other the space and the support we each needed. The locations were spectacular!
I came home feeling fulfilled, rejuvenated, and deeply connected to myself. I highly recommend!”

Yes, they are an option. We do not offer them on the website, but if money and payment are the only things preventing you from signing up for this retreat, please email us, and we’ll work with you to find a solution.

Do you require travel insurance?

Yes. We ask that you obtain travel insurance, with a medical component, and that you send us proof of your policy before the trip. In our experience, travel insurance is very inexpensive for all it covers. An easy way to begin your insurance search is by exploring the options here: www.insuremytrip.com.  

Do I have to participate in the excursions and/or evening workshops?

We suggest that everyone join us for the evening workshops and excursions, so that we create a clear and consistent container for all of the retreat participants. However, this retreat is all about choice and relaxation. We encourage you to join us for all portions of the retreat, but the emphasis is on recharging and following your flow, so if you’d rather relax by yourself, soak in the nature around the hotel, or visit Rovinj – you are welcome to do so.
