About Us

Join The Retreat

We are Moran and Meital

We’ve been living in Bulgaria for 5 and 3 years, respectively, and our personal journeys that brought us together here.

Through our own experiences, exploring Bulgria, connecting with its people, and spending time in its stunning nature, we’ve slowly gathered the essence of what makes Bulgaria so special.

From that exploration, we created a retreat that distills the beauty, simplicity, and nourishment this place so generously offers.

This retreat is our way of sharing that essence with you.

We invite you to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with what truly matters, held by the mountains, warmed by good food, and supported by kind company.
It’s an experience we hope will stay with you and support you long after the retreat ends.

Moran
I’m Moran. My background weaves together years of experience in group facilitation, training design, and personal development. For over a decade, I’ve created spaces that foster growth, reflection, and transformation.

More than five years ago, I chose to make Bulgaria my home—drawn by its beauty, authenticity, and culinary richness.

This retreat brings together everything that inspires me: meaningful encounters, immersive experiences, the healing rhythm of nature, and my love for deep, nourishing presence. I bring my passion for people, creativity, and connection—and I look forward to holding this space with you in the heart of the Rhodope Mountains.

Meital
I’m Meital, a mental coach, a Master NLP Practitioner, and a facilitator of personal transformation. I guide people who are at a turning point in life to pause, listen inward, and write a new story. A story filled with clarity, freedom, and true choice.

My personal journey led me to Bulgaria, where the calm of nature and the slower pace became a mirror for my own healing.
There, I remembered what it truly means to listen to myself and to live differently.

This retreat reflects everything I believe in: respectful movement, emotional inquiry, intuitive writing, and deep presence.

Using tools from mental coaching, NLP, and body &mind healing, we will create a safe and honest space for real and lasting change.

This is not an escape. It is a return
To your breath
To your truth
To your inner rhythm

If something inside you feels called, trust it.
This space is here for you.
And I’ll be here with you, holding it with an open heart

Meera

Meera

With over 15 years of personal practice and 5 years of teaching experience, Meera
sees yoga and meditation as powerful, holistic tools for nurturing ourselves on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

She enjoys exploring the world and learning from a wide range of teachers, but she equally treasures the journeys within guided by the timeless wisdom we all carry inside.

A devoted practitioner
and teacher, Meera truly believes that meditation has the power to change and even save the world.

The word “yoga” means unity, the integration of body, mind, and soul.

In these sessions, we’ll move consciously, connecting with the rhythm of the breath.

This mindful approach helps us soften the grip of the thinking mind and surrender to the present moment.

By shifting our attention from thoughts to sensations, we gently
prepare to dive into the deeper layers of our being a space of inner stillness,
peace, and presence.

With the support of breathing and meditation techniques, we’ll explore this space together and reconnect with the essence of who we truly are.

Amir Nityam

With over two decades of experience in music, meditation, and creative expression, Nityam brings heart-centered presence into every space he holds. As a DJ, he leads Ecstatic Dance journeys that invite participants to drop into their bodies, awaken their inner rhythm, and release through movement.

His sets are crafted as moving meditations, designed to open energy, joy, and emotional freedom.

Alongside his musical work, Nityam creates malas and gemstone jewelry that support personal intention, presence, and connection to the earth.

Each piece is a unique ritual object, handcrafted with love and deep attention to detail.

Ecstatic Dance

Offers a safe space to explore and express yourself freely through dance and movement.

It’s an invitation to let go of expectations, judgments, and anything else that usually holds you back and allow the music to guide you into the
unknown.
We leave outside our phones, shoes, talks, and thoughts  anything that might distract us from going deeper into the journey of self-exploration and expression.

Let yourself move, feel, release, and rediscover your natural state of joy and freedom.

Jewellry making workshop
In this creative and meditative workshop, you’ll be guided by Nityam to craft your own piece of gemstone jewelry infused with personal meaning and intention.

You’ll take time to connect with the stones, feel their energy, and choose the ones that speak to you. As you string each bead with care and presence, you’ll weave your intention into the piece, turning it into a unique ritual object that supports your journey long after the retreat ends.
