Slovenia Nature Retreat September 2023


Join us next September at the unique Veduna Centre, set within the beautiful green Slovenian mountains and surrounded by fields and forests. This purpose built centre is a place of healing and learning, it is peaceful, nurturing and in rhythm with nature. Veduna is set on 23 hectares of land in which you can wander carefree. On the land there is a stunning natural pool, sauna, fire pit and yoga deck. It is the perfect place to rekindle your connection to the land and to yourself. A place where people have come to decompress, rejuvenate and gain insight. We will practice yoga, walk on the local hiking trails, meditate with views of the valleys, dip in the natural swimming pool and warm up in the sauna.

Location and Accomodation

Veduna is a centre of healing and learning set in a beautiful, peaceful environment. It is in rhythm with nature and will allow you to rekindle your connection to the land and reconnect with yourself. Veduna has had two prior owners in the last one hundred years. The last owner bred horses and it is on the footprint of the former stables that the current owners have built the purposeful Retreat Centre. The owners of Veduna inherited the enchanted land that has remained virtually untouched with minimal disturbance to its ecosystem, surrounded by forest, hills and other small homesteads.

It is located 600 meters above sea level in the northeast of Slovenia. The country with an abundance of natural beauty and a unique climate merging the continental, alpine, and mediterranean. The retreat centre is located 1 hour and 15 minutes drive from the capital for Sloveian, Ljubljana.

Veduna has a wide variety of facilities, including a large dining area with stunning views, a large yoga and meditation studio, an outside natural swimming pool, arts and crafts studios and treatment spaces. Each room is prepared to tend to your basic needs along with some rooms having balcony’s overlooking magical, panoramic views of nature.

Indulge in the serenity of yogic living in a natural environment, secluded from the outside world yet equipped with modern amenities.

Food

Veduna provides food which is simple, freshly picked, lovingly grown and prepared. Food that is full of vital energy/prana and very delicious too. Veduna has 23 hectares of virgin organic land, part of which is set aside for the cultivation of fruit and vegetables using the principals of permaculture and biodynamics. On the farm, there is also a beautiful orchard where they grow pear, apple, plums, cherries, quince and medlars. We will eat three organic vegetarian meals a day where a lot of the fruit and vegetables are from the land! Lunch is the main meal and is served with three side dishes and seasonal salads. All meals are served buffet style in the main dining room.

Yoga

There is a beautiful large yoga Shala in the retreat centre. It has big French doors that open onto a balcony and views of the hills beyond. Additionally, there is also a stunning yoga decking area next to the natural pool which will use depending on the weather!

On retreat there will be a daily vinyasa Class and we will start every morning with meditation and breathwork. In the evening we will either practice nourishing yin yoga or develop and deepen our practice with a yoga workshop. All Sessions are for mixed levels with options for all,  beginners are welcome. The classes will be strengthening, re-energizing and nourishing with dynamic and restorative yoga sessions in which you can follow your own rhythm.
