Reconnect with your Feminine Self in the heart of Croatia, surrounded by orchards and greenery.
RETURN TO FEMININE
Peace. Pause. Purpose.
Return To Feminine is a transformative retreat crafted for women who feel overwhelmed by the countless roles they juggle – mother, partner, daughter, colleague, leader, or friend. Created for those ready to finally prioritize themselves and experience the freedom of truly putting themselves first.
It’s a chance to escape the chaos, quiet both external and internal noise, and reconnect with your authentic feminine essence.
Nestled in a secluded estate surrounded by plum orchards and greenery, this retreat offers the opportunity for holistic self-discovery, healing, and the celebration of inner strength in a tranquil and supportive environment.
In response to your needs and requests, we now offer 3-day and 5-day program options. Both provide an immersive, holistic, and reconnective journey for your growth, reset, and relaxation.
The program will be supported in the Croatian language.
