Lakshmi &
The Joy of Being
24.-31. May 2025
Pazin, Croatia
Enjoying being present in your body
Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity, and beauty, embodies the joy of experiencing life through our physical form and connecting with the divine within that experience. Her presence in our journey symbolizes the abundance and joy we can cultivate through spiritual practices.
In our journey, we can find ourselves navigating a spectrum of attitudes. Some of us tend to adopt a serious or rigid mindset, while others may struggle to cultivate a sense of dedication and commitment.
It's fascinating how we can oscillate between these states; we might not always recognise the rigidity within ourselves, or we could readily embrace dedication or vice versa.
Find space in your daily life to practice breaking free from these rigidities and opening yourself to new experiences and growth.
This week, we invite you to explore joy through enriching practices such as chanting, simple movement, and energy work, designed to cultivate a sense of flow within you. Together, we'll work on releasing our minds from restrictive concepts encouraging a more fluid and joyful life experience.
Embrace this opportunity to connect deeply with your body and discover the divine beauty that resides within each moment.

Our Offer
We are there to assist you throughout the process
01
Chanting
Chanting, a beautiful practice of singing rhythmic mantras to Hindu gods and goddesses, is a celebration of joy. We will also use other songs that inspire happiness within us.
It is a practice that opens your heart, enabling you to connect with yourself lovingly. It's a journey of introspection and self-awareness, free from the distractions of a restless mind.
03
Energy Work
Richard has dedicated numerous years to develop his skills in the art of energy work, and his expertise has empowered countless individuals on their healing and self-discovery journeys.
These skills will also flow into the energy work part of this retreat.
02
Simple Movement
Alexandra brings a wealth of experience from her extensive training in diverse physical practices such as yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and more. Drawing from her repertoire, she carefully curates simple yet powerful movements tailored for beginners, creating a gentle pathway to reconnect you with your body. Each movement is thoughtfully designed to awaken your senses, encourage mindfulness, and guide you back home to your physical self.
04
Sharing/Reflection
Conversations and reflecting within the group can be a great way to spot where you feel stuck. This valuable exchange brings hidden thoughts to light and helps you compartmentalise what's happening in the other three practices, fostering a sense of support and understanding.
Additionally, it provides a wonderful opportunity to connect and learn from each other's experiences!
