What you'll do

Overview

Escape to a special place and get off the beaten track, to the mountains of Bulgaria where you can relax, rebalance and reset. During this 7 day retreat you will receive all the support you need to make meaningful, lifelong changes that will leave you feeling happier and healthier.

Runs 26th August

The Reset Retreat is designed to empower you so you can implement healthier food choices and habits into your normal way of life, long after you return home – with no restrictive diet plans or mention of calorie counting!

The retreat is focused on interactive wellbeing workshops and cookery demonstrations that are centered around helping you feel healthy and happy.

Daily guided walks (to suit all fitness levels) straight from our door through undiscovered Balkan countryside combined with healthy eating and time to chill out by the pool or on one of our terraces.

Enjoy a nutrient packed menu with health supporting breakfasts and healthy main meals together with an overview of how a healthy balanced diet can help stabilise blood sugars, support energy levels, help your mood and support sleep. Returning home feeling relaxed, recharged and inspired to continue eating & walking for optimum health.

Visit the characterful local market town of Tryavna, famous for its typical revival architecture and local wood carvers, and is still home to many craftsmen today. The town square and clock tower built in 1814 is well worth a visit. A half day hike to the picturesque preserved village of Bojentsi, with lunch at a traditional taverna is included.

Operating Dates: 26th August 2023

Reset Retreat

Each day of the retreat will have the same layout with different workshops available to tailor the experience to the individual.

The day will start with morning yoga followed by a short walk, which is followed by a balanced and healthy breakfast. Following this, you can embark on a longer walk, relax or even get a massage.

Then you will get the chance to taste some of the local produce with a home cooked lunch followed by a relaxed early afternoon by the pool or on the terrace.

After a cookery demonstration, you will experience some gong and sound therapy to help clear your mind and really get you to relax. Following this, will be your evening meal in a local restaurant or made at home, where you will get a taste of the local cuisine.

Your day will end with an interactive workshop before you have some time to unwind and get ready for bed before starting another day of rest, relaxation and learning.
