Exploring “The Paramitas”—ten heart-mind qualities through asana, pranayama, meditation, chanting, and conversation.
Settle into a private seafront villa on Brač—terraces above the Adriatic, a shaded practice deck, and easy sea access. The week blends steady practice, nourishing food, and unhurried days on the island—space to reconnect, learn, and exhale.

Brač is one of Croatia’s most captivating islands — a place where nature, history, and community are deeply intertwined.
The island’s sun-drenched hills are covered in vineyards, olive groves, and aromatic herbs, where goats and sheep graze freely, giving their cheese its unique, rich flavor.
Perhaps most famous is Zlatni Rat Beach in Bol, a world-renowned stretch of golden sand shaped by the wind and sea currents — often named among the most beautiful beaches in the world.
It’s a vivid reminder of how nature continuously shapes the island’s coastline.
