House of the rising sun
You all know the song!!!
That’s the feeling we want to awaken with this retreat – the peace of the rising sun, new opportunities, joy, happiness, and a deep inner calm.
We’ve carefully chosen the location for our very first retreat: the island of Iž – a magical place with strong, supportive energy where everything we do feels aligned with the island, its people, and all living beings. It’s as if time has stopped here, where people are still in tune with nature and follow the rhythm of the sun, the hills, and the sea.
Welcome to House of the Rising Sun – a sanctuary where nature and inner peace become one. Join us for a retreat that awakens connection, restores body and spirit, and brings us back to our true essence.
Each day begins with yoga and meditation practices designed to empower and ground you. The day continues with discovering the hidden gems of the island of Iž.
Climb to the top of Iž and immerse yourself in meditation with a breathtaking view.
Relax with yin yoga on the quiet islet of Rutnjak, surrounded by the sound of waves and the scent of salt.
Enjoy a scenic boat trip that reveals the island’s magic, where time slows down and the heart opens.
Our healing practices also include massage – for deeper relaxation and awakening of inner awareness.
We begin with a refreshing despacho ceremony and close with the uplifting scent of agua de Florida – the scent of new beginnings.
Come, reconnect with nature, your body, and your spirit – and find your HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN.
Your retreat leaders are Andrea Vidas and Stipica Matić, two passionate individuals who love spreading good energy, contributing to the shift in consciousness, and caring for animals. They met at a yoga and massage charity marathon – PEPPERTHON – and from that moment on, began sharing this journey together.
We’ll be staying at Hotel Korinjak, a vegetarian and vegan-friendly retreat hotel that also welcomes your four-legged companions.
