Dear Friends of Oughten House, Greetings to all!
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.

“Exploring the Inner World”, “Being One with Nature” & “Rejoice in the Water”
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.

"Connecting With the Earth” & “Flying in Joy”.
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."

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.
