2nd – 9th May 2026 | Chalet Edenium, High Tatras, Slovakia
A Heartfelt Invitation to the High Tatras
2nd – 9th May 2026
This is more than a retreat — it’s a return home.
I warmly invite you to join me in Slovakia, my homeland — a place where natural beauty meets serenity in every breath.
Nestled at the foot of the breathtaking High Tatras, Edenium offers panoramic mountain views and a deep sense of stillness that supports rest, reflection, and renewal. Surrounded by forests and framed by dramatic peaks, this retreat space is designed to hold you — whether in quiet yoga practice, in shared moments of connection, or in gentle restoration of body and mind.
It’s a place to come back to yourself — guided by nature, movement, and presence.
“Where mountains meet stillness, and every breath leads you home.
Let the rhythm of nature guide your return to presence, peace, and connection.”
The Space: Chalet Edenium
With panoramic views of the mountains, Edenium is a purpose-built retreat space full of warmth, light, and serenity. The yoga shala and large wooden decks invite grounding practices, while cozy accommodations offer rest and comfort.
“Just being here brings a sense of inner peace.”

- Surrounded by forest, yet easily accessible
Thank you for organizing such an amazing retreat in Ikaria, Greece. Your kindness, compassion, and attentiveness truly made the experience unforgettable. We especially loved the adventurous activities you planned between the yoga sessions—they allowed us to explore Ikaria in such a unique way! We would join another one of your retreats in a heartbeat. Thank you again for making sure all our needs were met and for the wonderful memories!

Julia was one of the most amazing people I have met. Kind, attentive, helpful and interested in assisting everyone in their personal and individual quests. I was a complete novice and felt included, respected and valued. Nothing was too much trouble for Julia and the people in the group were all amazing and inspiring. I would recommend Julia to absolutely anyone from novice to expert. The retreat was fab, food great, talks and nature walks. Don’t let this one pass you by folks!!!
