Yoga Bliss Escape:
Back to Nature - elemental retreat

Welcome to the tranquil haven of the “Valley of Treasures” – Kincsek Volgye, nestled in the heart of Hungary.

Lavender, tulip mandalas, ancient fruit trees, heated outdoor pool, 3 fire pits with chairs, 2 outdoor showers…nature’s beauty and tranquillity.

Welcome to Yoga Bliss Immersion: Back to Nature, a transformative 4-day journey through the chakras and elements, presented in our Elemental Yoga Retreat.

Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with yourself amidst the serene embrace of nature.

Nestled on 6 acres of breathtaking land, our retreat offers a sanctuary of tranquillity where you’ll be enveloped by vast fields, vibrant flowers, majestic trees, and the soothing sounds of the natural environment. It’s your chance to step away from the noise of modern living and immerse yourself in the pure essence of the earth.

Throughout this immersive experience, you’ll embark on a profound exploration of the chakras and elements, guided by experienced yoga teachers. From grounding yourself in the stability of the earth element to embracing the fluidity of water, igniting the fire within, breathing in the air of liberation, and connecting with the expansive space of ether, each day will be dedicated to deepening your connection to the elements and the energy centres within your body.

Our retreat offers not only the opportunity to deepen your yoga practice but also to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.

Through daily yoga sessions, meditation, nature walks, and mindful activities, you’ll cultivate a sense of inner peace, balance, and harmony.

A valley of treasures – where nature did not take back, but gave back what was hers.

In this special retreat place we will have the opportunity to be close to nature but also to be together, and spend a special long weekend.

The valley lies on 6 hectares, on which there is a yurt, two guesthouses and a large community square.

Lavender, tulip mandalas, ancient fruit trees, heated outdoor pool, 3 fireplaces with chairs, 2 outdoor showers...nature’s beauty and tranquillity.

And did I mention: there is a pool too!!!

The retreat centre is about 90-minutes car drive from Budapest.

Transport cost is about £20-30 each way and it will be arranged, we can pick you up from anywhere in Budapest or Budapest Airport.

The labyrinth

The labyrinth is a thousand-year-old initiation tool, in the depths of which a fundamental reversal, a fundamental personality change takes place.

The labyrinth, wherever it is, enables us to connect the conscious and the unconscious.

Now, on the threshold of the Water Age, when renewal is taking place along completely new dimensions, labyrinths play an important role again, as a simple but very effective means of raising awareness of our internal processes.

The labyrinth walk is suitable for both group and individual guided walks. For silent meditation, deep trance, dance ritual, healing procedure, body development, therapeutic use, and spiritual development, walking through the labyrinth connects one’s consciousness with one’s innermost being. In its power field, we recognize the messages of our shadow, and this gives us the strength to carry out the internal transformation processes.

Healers at the retreat

Ildy
Reiki Healing

During a half-hour Reiki healing treatment at our retreat, I will guide you through a deeply relaxing and restorative session designed to balance your energy and promote healing. As you lie comfortably, I will use gentle, non-invasive touch or hover my hands just above your body to channel Reiki energy to specific areas in need. This process helps to release blocked energy, reduce stress, and enhance your overall sense of well-being. Throughout the session, you may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep calm, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
