Here we are, in the States again, after our European Tours in Croatia and Germany. We would like to share with you a little part of our beautiful sites and experiences.

In Croatia, we have had our first Holistic Vacation-Welness Retreat Program. Our setting was the magnificent Mediterranean natural environment along the ancient Adriatic Coast and Istria Peninsula. The group of 39 people came from 9 different cities throughout Russia and Kazahstan.

Our base for the Holistic Vacation-Wellness Tour was located in the ancient harbor town Porec, the champion of Croatian tourism. Here we stayed in the Hotel Delfin in the Green lagoon.

Porec is over 2500 years old. It’s where the Roman soldiers and sailors built their fortified colony. Here they built "villae rustice" where they enjoyed the sweet life styles, the sea, sun, wine, olives, good food.

The Group arrived on SATURDAY. That evening we had our Get Acquainted Party, which included introductory speeches & discussions, dancing, and the meditation “Connecting Oversouls” and then we had fun exchanging gifts.

Topic for the fourth day, TUESDAY was “Exploring the Inner World”. In the morning, we had the Seminar “Exploring the Inner World -- Creating Peace”. At the beginning, we did a Reading - Dowsing on the participants’ level of Inner Peace.

Then we had discussion about Inner and Outer Worlds, Realms of Mind & Consciousness, Creative Subconscious Mind. We had exercises and Silent Meditation Technique “Opening My Inner Being”. Then, we performed Theta” Meditation of Inner Peace” and “DNA Activation of My DNA Codes of Inner Peace”. After this we again did Reading - Dowsing on the level of Inner Peace of each person. This time, their field of Peace increased so much, that we needed to go out of the room to check their auras. This Seminar brought to people AWARENESS for WORLD PEACE that each person creates in his/her sacred space. (We need to further explore this process.)

In the middle of the day, we had a Seminar on “Imagination” & “Divine Quick-Fix Healings”. Here we talked about importance of imagination and shared practical techniques for resolving issues on physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual levels. After our yummy fresh-fish lunch, we went swimming.

The topic for the fifth day, WEDNESDAY, was “Being One with Nature”. We had excursion to beautiful Plitvice Lakes, National Park, that is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. While going to Plitvice, we had discussion about human nature, how nature around us attracts our lives and meditation “Ups and Downs in Life”. At the top of the mountain, while watching the islands and the sea below, we had meditation ”The Mountain of Goals”.

Upon arriving at the Plitvice Lakes, we had walking tour along the many lakes and nearby waterfalls. We took a boat ride on the one of the larger lakes. Then on a peaceful meadow by the lake, we had meditations “Green Meditation of Heart”, “Expansion and Embrace of Nature” and “Waterfall of Light”. In the afternoon, we had lunch in the restaurant near the Plitvice Lakes.

The topic for the sixth day, THURSDAY, was “Rejoice in the Water”. We had Boat Fish Picnic. The day was perfect, blue sky, blue sea, people in their swimming suites on the decks of the boat. All enjoyed in boat ride. We talked about water in our body and around us. Then we did some exercises, chants and meditations “Worry Free Rocks”, ”The Awakening of Joy”, “Reprogramming Water Within”, Prayer to Air, Prayer to Water. The first stop was in the harbor of ancient town Rovinj, where we have guided tour. Then we had a fresh grilled fish with salad lunch and wine on the boat. And later in the afternoon, we stopped in the small harbor, Vrsar, to swim and enjoy in the water. In the evening, all went dancing and were enjoying the night-life.

The topic for the seventh day, FRIDAY, was “Connecting With the Earth”. Early in the morning we had Sunrise Meditation – “Celebrating the Sun”. The whole group was on the hill watching the sun rise. Here we did exercise to earth our bodies, and connect with water and the air elements.

Later we went to an old cave site, known as Baredine. We needed 20 minutes to walk down into the four chambers. In the cave, we had meditation “Connecting with the Earth in the Cave”.

When we came out of the cave, in the circle created of stones, we had “Earth My Body” chant, and Prayer to Earth". And then, our Shaman friend Igor Drandic, lead us in an Indian Dance and Drumming Circle. People were delighted while dancing in trance and freedom."

The topic for the eighth day, SATURDAY, was “Flying in Joy”. In the morning, people were swimming and getting ready for traveling back home. At noon, we had our last Farewell Meeting with Farewell Chats and Prizes and rewards. We did "Prayer to Flame". Then we had a special fresh fish-lunch and tasting special mushroom called truffles, that grows here in Istria.

After lunch, we left for airport. On our trip there, we visited miraculous church St. Foska, one more time. Prayers were powerful and sincere. At the airport, we were all delighted with experiences gained that week of our Holistic Vacation-Wellness Retreat. We agree that next summer, we shall create something similar again – as already many people wanted to return.
