Lefkada, Greece | April 30 – May 4, 2026

A heart-centered retreat experience combining Vinyasa Krama Yoga, psychotherapeutic workshops, compassionate connection, and aromatherapy, held in the breathtaking natural beauty of Lefkada.

Why This Retreat Is Special: Because it is a reflection of our hearts and every detail matters.
The morning light, the smell and colors of spring flowers, the discovery of the dreamy beaches, the feeling of sea breeze, the heartfelt ceremonies under moonlight, and the community shared meals.

These become our stories and create space for laughter, presence, lightness, and genuine human connection.

Limited availability.

My beloved mentor Gabor Maté speaking about relationships, attachment, and how love reveals our inner world.

The truth about relationships is that when we fall in love, it doesn’t just bring us closer to another person…it brings us closer to the emotional world we learned to survive in.

Opening our hearts to love can feel like standing at the doorway of our early emotional life, where intimacy both reveals us and gently invites us to grow from within.

I’m curious, how this lives inside you?

The world is awakening once again.
Mother Nature is calling us to clear away everything we no longer need.

The Great Mother is sending rain and wind these days…
washing, shaking, cleansing
all that no longer serves us.

Everything is preparing
for the light of spring.

“Proljeće na moje rame slijeće…”
like Bijelo Dugme sings…
and the dance and carnival going on these days
are bringing joy, happiness, and growth.

Everything in nature is in a constant state of change.

So when we refuse to release
what no longer serves us,
we move against the flow.

And that hurts.

Growing hurts too.
But it is a different kind of pain.
It is the pain of becoming.
Of moving closer to your wholeness.

With love,
Tatjana

The song “Choose Love” by Angélique Kidjo says:

“Choose love.
In every moment.
In every storm.
In every victory.
Let love be the language.
Let love be the answer.
Let love be the choice.
When the world feels divided, choose love.
When fear speaks louder, choose love.
Again and again choose love.”

P.S. What do you need to start choosing from love? 🤍
Much love,
Tatjana

Love is…
(not what Instagram says 😉)

Love is… sharing the last piece of chocolate.
Love is… saying “I was wrong.”
Love is… regulating yourself before replying to that message. 😅
Love is… laughing at the same silly thing for years.
Love is… giving space without making it mean rejection.
Love is… staying with yourself when leaving feels safer.

Love is… choosing kindness when your ego wants to win.

Love is… being real.

Love is when you feed each other, and not feed on one another.

Happy Valentine’s Day!💘

P.S. What love is… for you? 💛

Love you,
Tatjana

On the wall of our dear Dr. Vladimir Djurić, I read the story of Abd al-Rahman III, or the Caliph of Córdoba from the tenth century… The message of the story is the wisdom of someone who “lived a better life than 99% of his contemporaries,” as Dr. Vladimir beautifully describes, and continues: “On his deathbed, he left a record from his private diary, which serves as a wonderful lesson about happiness… Now I have ruled for over fifty years in victory or peace; loved by my subjects, feared and dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Wealth and honor, power and pleasures awaited my call, and not a single blessing of this world was missing to me. In this situation, I diligently counted the days of pure and true happiness that were allotted to me: there were fourteen.”…😀

Fourteen days.
In fifty years.
Let that sink in.

What would change if we stopped postponing joy? 😉
