RENEW YOUR LIFE ENERGY, HEALTH AND INTERNAL PEACE
Retreat is an opportunity to spend time with like-minded people, learn new skills, expand your knowledge, get into a vibe of harmony and health, and have fun along the way. Discover and tap into your inner potential.
This is a very intense and awaken RETREAT, and the first such unique and complete program in our areas. Some participate in it because they want personal or spiritual growth, others because they want to acquire new skills. There is often overlap. People always get a lot more than they asked for. This retreat will enhance your personal and professional life as well as the life of your clients.
In addition to a carefully crafted workshop program, you can expect relaxation, clean and untouched nature, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, laughter and authenticity in abundance, beautiful and lovely people, and delicious meals.
How often are you in HARMONY with yourself, in work you do, with others and the nature around you?
Join us for 3 or 5 days of relaxing RETREAT in an energetically high solstice period, in cleansing the body, spirit and mind in connection with the 5 elements of nature, content in the human body, in the ancient nature of the mystical mountain Rtanj. We can enhance our quality of life with the strong determination of fire, the compassionate grace of water, the adventurous spirit of the wind, the diligence of the earth and the intuition of the ether.
We will learn in practice how to balance some of the elements we lack in our daily lives. Learned knowledge remains yours for life. Now you're ready to do something for yourself. This is your life. Take it finally into your hands.
The harmony of the 5 elements in our body (earth, water, fire, air and ether) is shown to us through our 5 senses: sight, taste, touch, hearing and smell. If all the elements are in the harmony, we are healthy, happy, joyful and full of life. If we have too few or too many of some of those 5 elements, an imbalance will occur and there will be some problem, disease or disorder.
All the ancient books dealing with the evolution of the human being testify that our first and most important task that we have to overcome is precisely the harmony and balance within ourselves. As a harmoniously harmonized being, we have the strength to act from a position of choice, not instinct or sudden decisions.
By working on the harmonization of all 5 elements of which the human body consists, with the help of pure and untouched nature, ancient places of power and old teachings from our territories we will experience through this retreat:
"Once a year, go to a place you've never been before." Dalai Lama

08:00am The earth is our mother and symbolizes birth. Earth is the most solid and most stable element, and it’s in charge for home, peace, family, property, material and security. It is very important that we have an element of earth in harmony. Climbing mountains or descending into caves, walking in forests or climbing trees are direct contacts with the earth element and help to harmonize the earth element in the human body.
After a tasty and healthy homemade breakfast, with the expert guidance of a local guide and herbalist, we slowly make our way to the top of the Pyramid of Rtanj, exploring and picking local herbs, especially Rtanj Tea, which grows only on this mountain at 1000 meters above sea level, known for its wonderful healing capacity. About the Pyramid of Rtanj, incredible stories circulate, so that it has become a mountain of salvation, a mountain of aliens, an energy generator, a place visited by strange beings... While walking slowly to the peak of Šiljak, a local guide, whose family has always lived in these areas, tells us myths and legends around Mountain Rtanj and shows us the scientifically documented energy sites of the planetary scientist Dr.sc. Semir Osmanagić.
In these places of power, we do specially prepared meditations and exercises to harmonize the element of the earth for healing the body, spirit and mind. One of those places is the place “Vrelo” (thermal spring) or Sanctuary, a place where proven healing frequency erupts from the earth and fills us with life force. Miracles are possible for each of us.
03 – 04pm When we climb down from the mountain, full of energy and experience, we stay for lunch at Toma's hut at the foot of the mountain and enjoy learning and preparing the medicinal herbs that we collected during our climbing to the mystical Rtanj mountain.
05 – 07pm After working all day with the element of the earth, we have a free afternoon and evening to visit Water Mill at Grandpa’s Mija, Vrmdža Lake and found about local sights while cooking teas from this interesting area and enjoying the flavors of nature and health.

07:00 – 08:00am Before breakfast, we have a gentle awakening of the vital energies of the body which, perhaps because of our lifestyle and points of view, have become stagnant and block our life force. (Shamanic breathing exercises, sungazing and recharging with the energy of life, or light morning yoga with expert guidance of yoga instructors, Margareta and Vesna).
08:00 – 09:00am Breakfast
09:00am – 01:00pm After healthy and tasty homemade breakfast, we have a free afternoon break or an individual hike to the old Latin town of the 3rd century, located above the very site of Vrmdža, the Church of the Holy Trinity, Vrelo - the source of the Vrmdža River, Vrmdža Lake or Vrmdža Ethnos Museum...
01:00pm Lunch at the Water Mill at Grandpa's Mija.
03:00pm We are starting on a journey of new insights and learning, both about life and about ourselves with the element of fire. The old teachers say that fire is the only element on planet Earth that we cannot pollute. Fire symbolically burns everything that is bad in us. It breaks down established patterns of thinking and behavior and opens us up to new possibilities. With the experienced guidance of Healer and Fire Master Neven Carin, we will experience this, each in the way that is best for his life's journey. After learning all day about the element of fire, around 9pm, the bravest will be able to experience fire walk on the embers at 1000 degrees.
We can do body detox in many ways (food, herbs, movement ...) but the mind and spirit are quite difficult and slow. Fire is the best and fastest way to detoxify the mind and spirit. We have all heard about the benefits of barefoot walking, especially in the natural environment of grass, dew, water, stones... This is because there are spots on the foot, known in medicine as acupuncture points, that are associated with all organs in our body. Walking on a variety of grounds, we stimulate and massage all the organs in our body, and we are witnessing an improvement in mood, energy, and the disappearance of various ailments and illnesses. But to walk on the natural elements, it takes a long time until a change in the body occurs. If we want to wake up and activate all the organs in our body right now, the strongest element is fire. The ritual of Fire-walking (walking on embers) is one of the oldest rituals of purification of body, mind and spirit on planet Earth. With a full-day seminar, spiritual cleansing and preparation, the bravest will have the opportunity to walk on embers, and experience Fire-walking themselves.
With his many years of healing experience and work with the element of fire, Master of Fire Neven Carin guarantees all participants a happy and successful crossing over the embers, but you have to make your own decision.
That experience helps us in our daily lives when a seemingly insurmountable obstacle arises before us, ever since, remembering the experience of the Fire-walking, we can tell ourselves, even when it seemed impossible, but I succeeded.
The greatest task of fire is to ignite our inner fire, which has become weaker during our lives for the sake of stress and life circumstances, to heal all bad conditions, illnesses and difficulties and open new paths in our lives. For all who is interested in a special Ritual of Fire and Heart Combination, the Master of Fire can create a FIRE AMULET, which ancient healers say is the most powerful amulet in the world. Graduation with Diplomas. Dinner.
4th DAY (Sunday, 16st May 2021) – WORK WITH WATER ELEMENT
07:00 – 07:45am Before breakfast, we have a gentle awakening of the vital energies of the body which, perhaps because of our lifestyle and points of view, have become stagnant and block our life force. (Shamanic breathing exercises, sungazing and recharging with the energy of life, or light morning yoga with expert guidance of yoga instructors, Margareta and Vesna).
7:45am Breakfast
08:30am After healthy and tasty homemade breakfast, with the expert guidance of healer and shaman Neven Carin we start on a path of harmony with the element of water. Water rules emotions and symbolizes human emotions. Emotions can be deep and dangerous like the ocean, but they can also be very comfortable. If we have too many emotions they come out in the form of tears. Emotions serve us to perceive the environment with emotions, not like some robots. That is why it is important to have an element of water balanced in the body. If we have too much, we become too sensitive to the environment, then we choke our loved ones with excessive care. People all over the world talk about the sudden incredible cures when bathing or drinking water from their holy water sources.
09:00-10:45am The waterfalls are hidden, often unexplored and mysterious places that are not easily accessible. These natural phenomena are often associated with interesting and mystical stories from the local population. In ancient traditions passed down from generation to generation, these sites are referred to as places where fairies and elves gathered, where unusual and magical events occurred. The first point of work with the water element is the SLAP RIPALJKA is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in this area, and consists of 11 sections with a total height of about 40 meters, the largest of which is 11 meters high. At the waterfall, we do shamanic drumming and bonding with the elemental beings of this holy place and receive the blessings of water beneath the waterfall itself.
THE RITUAL OF WATER UNDER THE WATERFALLS is an unrepeatable experience that is remembered throughout life. In these sacred places we were able to take photographs with light beings - orbs. We learn to cleanse our bodies with the element of water, and with ARROW OF GOD, and we teach the healing of others. Anyone who has a recorder, here can record the sounds of waterfalls, drums and woods for a private collection of healing sounds.
10:45am After the water ceremonies under the waterfall Ripaljka we head towards the town with many springs of medicinal water, Sokobanja. After tasting the water and seeing the fountains in Central City Park and the ancient Turkish spa Hammam, we come to Banjica Park where we have healing with curing hot water in a natural bath with water that treats nerve diseases, heart rhythm disorders, high blood pressure and complete recovery of the organism. In Hinduism, water, or bathing in holy rivers, purifies all levels of the body. After a healing bath in the city bath, we reach the Moravica River.
11:45am Before swimming in a natural river, we learn the world-famous WIM HOF method, to prepare ourselves to swim in the water in any season, and experience it in the healing river by enjoying and sunbathing on naturally sandy beaches and jumping into the water from rocks adventurous participants.
In Christianity, holy water is used for baptism and the demons are expelled and the spaces cleansed when the priests bless the houses with faith and holy water. In Islam, they treat people with water, which they first energize with prayer. During the day we learn how to make your own holy and healing water.
01:30pm We slowly start our way to the Nature Park Lepterija, where a wooden bridge over Moravica leads to a path that leads to a natural phenomenon known as the Virgin in the Rock. The recess in the rock takes the form of a mother with a child, and according to legend, the Virgin hid with Christ in her arms, fleeing before the Romans. Everyone who lights a candle in front of a rock will have every good thing happen in this world. Believing in the legend, we also light candles. From the rock that depicts one of the symbols of the pillars of Christianity, the story is related, that on a particular holiday (Good Friday) there appears water from the stone that is healing for the eyes. Every year only on Good Friday water appears, as it does not happen during the rest of the year.
02:30h-03:30am The walk to Lepteria leads through beautiful panoramas that are full of greenery. Along the way there is a restaurant called "Pecina" located under a rock on the river bank where we have lunch. If you are a fan of Japanese architectural designs and an admirer of three natural elements - water, wood and stone - then this restaurant is the one for you.
03:30 – 05:00pm Free time for sightseeing Sokobanja, socializing, swimming in hot water springs, walking in parks, visiting museums or souvenir shopping approx. 2 hours.
We end the day by visiting Lake Bovan on our way to our accommodation and saying goodbye to the participants who have been with us for 3 days out of a total of 5 retreat days.
07:00pm The dinner will be vegetarian culinary delicacies from the eco-farming of Vrmdža area with cooking on open fire. After dinner, we have a working day evaluation, a conversation about insights and experiences while enjoying the famous Rtanj tea and crackling fire.
08:30pm After that, whoever wants, we have a gentle awakening of the vital energies of the body, which may have stagnated and blocked our life force because of our lifestyle. (TIBETAN BOWLS TREATMENTS).
5th DAY (Monday, 17nd, May, 2021) – WORK WITH ELEMENT OF AIR (WIND)
07:00 – 08:00am Before breakfast, we have a gentle awakening and triggering of the vital energies of the body that may have become stagnant and block our life force because of our lifestyle. Breatharian Healing, Sungazing and recharging with the energy of life, or light morning yoga with expert guidance of yoga instructors, Margareta and Vesna). 08:00h Breakfast.
09:00-12:00h After a big healthy and tasty homemade breakfast, with the expert guidance of Healer and Shaman Neven Carin, we embark on the path of harmony with the element of air. Air is an element we do not see, but we feel its touch, its power. The wind takes and brings rain, clouds, storms, rising waves, determines the direction of fire and shapes the terrain in the deserts.
Since air is the most moving element, we say that air rules our mind, because thoughts are also the most moving elements of the body. People who are in harmony with the air can fit into any society and they will be comfortable. A person with a strong air element, thinks a lot, these people are usually philosophers, theorists, thinkers, scientists. When the air element is in balance, then it gives us the best quality, understanding. If the wind is out of balance then his thoughts are exaggerated and, apart from philosophizing, do not produce much results. If we have too much air, then we need to learn how to calm the mind, practice concentration and practice how to relax the mind. The mind cannot be excluded as well as the ego. He needs proper direction.
It needs to be turned to knowledge and concentration, which is our goal today. Thoughts are creative and what we think directly shapes our world. In order to shape the world as we want, we learn during the day the old shamanic methods of concentrating and changing our minds as ancient peoples did when summoning rain or sun.
The peaks of the mountains have a special energy. It is at these locations that we will work to harmonize the air element. We will be most aware of the air if we stroll through a forest or a park where various flowers and trees grow, so we have chosen Ozren Mountain at 1118 meters above sea level, known for its large number of conifers, as the starting point of today's ancient knowledge learning. Beautiful natural scents have a healing effect on our brains. There are two hospitals located on this mountain. One for pulmonary diseases due to altitude and pine forests, the other for the treatment of eye diseases, due to the abundance of greenery and favorable wind rose (flowing and mixing multiple air currents, which is ideal for working with the wind element). This mountain is known as a place where there is an extremely high concentration of negative ions that have a beneficial effect on our body, and especially suitable for those who have problems with asthma, respiratory system and vision. All this has been documented through scientific research, and you will hear from the patients themselves about the beneficial properties of this place. Some people settled on the mountain permanently after the healing.
Along the way, we also visit THE STONE OF LOVE, the site of countless love legends that couples fall in love with, for eternal love, happiness, and longevity. For all photography lovers, we also have a visit to VIDIKOVAC OČNO, from which there is a beautiful view all the way to Lake Bovan north-west and north of the Rtanj mountain. You can clearly see the peak of Šiljak and the church on it, if you look through the binoculars. PHOTO POINT
12:00-02.00pm After harmonizing the body with the element of wind and directing thoughts on Mount Ozren, we continue with the ancient teachings at the next location, the old medieval fortress, Sokograd, a location where wind power will reach maximum expression. In order to balance the wind, you need to move, learn and practice concentration, which is an integral part of this day and a tour of several magical locations. In the canyon of the Moravica River, about 2 km south of Sokobanja, on a steep and almost inaccessible hill, are the remains of a medieval fortress built on the foundations of a fourth century fort. The fort is of an irregular base, of larger dimensions and was probably erected on the foundations of ancient buildings. It consists of Lower and Upper Town. The movement and the mountain breeze purify the stagnant energy in us and allow the release of everything unnecessary.
02:00-03:00pm The morning trip of Wind ends with lunch at the ethnos restaurant “Stara Vodenica” Old Water Mill.
03:00-04:30pm Free time for conversation, walking through the parks, socializing, swimming in springs with hot water and sightseeing Sokobanja or souvenir shopping, approx. 1.5 hour.
06:00 – 07:00pm After returning to the accommodation and taking a short break, we continue to learn techniques for harmonizing the wind element, a very popular BARS method where we will learn several points on our head and body, to experience Bars energy. Bars are used for relaxation of body and mind for clearing non-supportive, and unnecessary believes, relief from blockages, fears, and very quickly transform physical ailments, pain, stress, depression, panic fears and seizures. Bars method contributing you to create your life from space of awareness, possibilities and free choices, and to live joyful, happy and expansive lifestyle.
Free time before and after dinner for sightseeing Vrmdža, picking medicinal herbs, mushrooms or forest fruits.
07:00-08:00pm The dinner will be vegetarian culinary delicacies from the eco-farming of Vrmdža area with cooking on open fire. After dinner, we have a working day evaluation, a conversation about insights and experiences while enjoying the famous Rtanj tea and crackling fire.
08:30pm - GONG BATH.
6th DAY (Tuesday, 18rd May, 2021) – WORK WITH ELEMENT OF ETHER (SOUL)
07:00-08:00am Before breakfast, we have a gentle awakening and triggering of the vital energies of the body that may have become stagnant and block our life force because of our lifestyle. Breatharian Healing, Sungazing and recharging with the energy of life, or light morning yoga with expert guidance from yoga instructors, Margareta and Vesna.
08:00am Breakfast.
09:00-11:00am After a healthy and tasty homemade breakfast, with the expert guidance of healer and shaman Neven Carin, we embark on a path of harmony with the element of ether. The soul belongs to the element of ether. Ether is the energy that connects everything that exists. That is why the element of ether is a link to other worlds, to Goddess and to God. The first workshop of this day is to find out very important information for our life: What is my life purpose?
11:00am-01:00pm After finding out valuable information about ourselves, we continue to satisfy our soul, relaxation at the ancient stone Turkish spa HAMMAM. The ancient health resort of Hammam was built on the foundations of an even older Roman spa, which has museum value and is under state protection. The spa is supplied with extremely healing warm water from three wells. The Hammam Central Spa has two sources of “St. Archangel”, 43 degrees and “Preobraženje“ (Transfiguration) up to 53 degrees. In the Hammam there are male and female stone pool, bath known as “Prince Milos” and several later built baths, and inhaler for the treatment of respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, sinusitis, acute and chronic bronchitis, emphysema, respiratory infection and other diseases. We will enjoy swimming in thermal water, swimming pools and baths, staying in the original Prince Milos’s bath, and we will try various types of massages with etherical oils or with healing mud.
The element of the ether perceives the world with hearing, so its appearance is sound. So today we are going to learn what is the most powerful sound that exists. To be able to learn all about the most powerful sound, our body, mind and soul, have to be at their best, preferably in an ancient and natural environment without cell phones, TVs, cars, refrigerators, antennas and other ether pollutants that affect our perception and health. Ether is in charge of intuition. Intuition is a speech, knowledge, information, idea, or thought that comes to us from another world, from space, or from ourselves. All of those are coming anyway, but we will hear it only if we listen. Let's learn how to listen!
01:00 -02:00pm Walk through the Lepterija Nature Park to the famous restaurant "Pećina" located under a rock on the banks of the Moravica River where we have lunch.
02:00 – 03:00pm Free time for sightseeing in Sokobanja, swimming on the famous beach Župan, walking in the parks or souvenir shopping, approx. 1 hour.
03:00 – 05:00h Last day of the retreat, we will end it with an ancient rite of blessing for the participants and an INITIATION IN 5 ELEMENTS of NATURE. A wonderful ceremony that will bring our fellowship to an end and mark a new beginning.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM RETRET?
On the last day of the retreat we brought all the elements into the harmony which we need to live quality and balance life. If we lived that way, we would not miss anything and we will have a quality human life.
During this 5-day withdrawal, we went through a detox procedure but also learned how to apply it to ourselves when needed.
All the ancient techniques we learned such as: meditation, shamanic breathing, firewalking, healing by the arrow of God, gong baths, yoga... are not shortcuts that lead us to the goal, as many naive spiritual practitioners think, but they serve to balance our elements and to work on them. The better balance, the better is our learning path and our life become greater and better. Balance serves us so that we can reach a goal. This goal can be anything: success, health, peace, love, harmony, enlightenment, etc.
INVIDUAL THERAPY AND COUNSELING:
As part of the Retreat, it is possible to do individual therapy and counseling with the healer Neven Carin or body & soul treatments with Margareta Riznica Radosti (Treasure of Joy).
