Sacred Pause


  • Villas Blissed Bay Selca, Brač Island Croatia (map)


June 6–14, 2025 · 7 nights / 8 days · Brac Island, Croatia

Open to all levels / SOLD OUT

Led by Sierra Hollister

A week designed as a true breathing space: mornings opened with steady practice by the sea, afternoons drifted into swims, walks and island wandering, and evenings softened into yin, meditation and sound. Guests left lighter, clearer, and a little more enchanted by life on the Adriatic

Stonemasonry School in Pučišće

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.

Not enough words to describe how perfect, lovely, welcome, warm, gifted, talented, gentle souls these women are. Sonja and Tamara put together and coordinated the most thoughtful yoga experience. Pure magic and love.

This retreat was beyond anything I could have dreamed up. The accomodations were gorgeous and surrounded by exquisite beauty. I felt so safe to relax, to decompress and to process the crunchy stuff that is life on planet earth in this particular moment. The yoga was perfect, the excursions felt fun, well organized and crafted with care.
