A Cocoon of Transformation.
Our 5 day Retreat experience in 2026.
As the new moon rises on 21st September, it brings with it a powerful solar eclipse — the closing of one cycle and the opening of another. This celestial moment is magnified by its alignment with the autumn equinox, the sacred pause when day and night stand in perfect balance. Together, they invite us to release what has run its course, to surrender into stillness, and to welcome the quiet birth of something new. It is a reminder of life’s eternal rhythm — the dance between endings and beginnings, light and dark, doing and being.
So often, our own lives mirror these cycles. We move through endless days of doing — tasks, goals, responsibilities, constant motion — yet the soul longs for the equinox’s pause, the eclipse’s invitation to reset. It longs for moments of being — when time slows, the heart softens, and we remember the deeper currents of life moving through us.
Our five-day retreat in the heart of Montenegro’s National Park, August 2026, is created as a sanctuary for just that — a cocoon of stillness and presence, where transformation arises naturally, as we step away from the noise of everyday life and attune to the quieter wisdom within. And while the retreat itself is next year, the invitation begins now: to reflect, to notice where balance is needed, and to start planning those sacred pauses that allow us to truly return to ourselves.
What Makes This Retreat Different
This retreat will carry a new frequency, a deeper call inward. We are introducing elements to support an even more profound journey:
A true retreat from the world.
For five days, we will remain within the sacred grounds of Ashuma, held in nature’s embrace. No excursions, no outer distractions — only the sanctuary of stillness. If you feel drawn to explore Montenegro’s breathtaking beauty, we suggest arriving earlier or staying a little longer after the retreat. These five days, however, are for turning inward.
Digital detox.
In service of presence, we are inviting a full release from digital life. Phones will be safely stored for the duration, and an emergency contact number will be provided for your loved ones. This is your chance to feel the spaciousness that arises when you reclaim your attention and return to life’s natural rhythm.
The tapestry of life
One of Tantra’s translations is “tapestry,” and this year, we will bring this alive through the sacred art of macramé. Alongside asana, meditation, and pranayama, knotting will become a moving meditation — a practice of weaving presence into each thread, a reflection of how all moments, choices, and breaths are interconnected.
An Invitation to Balance
The equinox reminds us that balance is never fixed — it is a continual dance of returning, adjusting, and remembering. This retreat is an invitation to pause in that dance, to rediscover balance not as something you do, but as something you allow.
If you feel called to join, we invite you to add your name to our Waitlist. This is not a commitment — only a gentle expression of interest. By joining, you’ll be among the first to know when we open spaces and release all details.
Join us in Montenegro, August 2026 — where stillness, balance, and transformation await.
