The Rhodope Mountains are the birthplace of the mythical hero Orpheus. His legend began right here in the heart of the oldest mountain range in southern Bulgaria,
where the air is one of the cleanest and most healing in Europe.
The Rhodope Mountains are the birthplace of the mythical hero Orpheus, who with his lyre made animals and beasts docile, and trees dance.
Paneurhythmy is a joyful, meditational dance involves gentle exercise linking our mind and our body, relieving stress and tension, and relaxing ourselves physically, emotionally and mental.
The retreat is in the mountains on a dam and accessible only via boat. A place to disconnect with the outside world and to connect with yourself.
In collective good hands...
This retreat is lead from a collective of spiritual wanderers, as mindful as possible seekers, and foremost we're delighted to have the most wonderful yoga teacher we could have hoped for.
