About this trip

Join Kat & Jordan in MONTENEGRO where you’ll play with practices that spark joy, restore you, encourage the exploration of you and help you ground into the stunning scenery that surrounds us. 


Our stay will include 6 nights at the beautiful MAHAKALA. Discover our tranquil venue in Buljarica, a small town along Montenegro's coast, where mountains meet the sea. Montenegro, with its untouched natural landscapes, has a fairytale-like charm, boasting mountains, valleys, lakes, and the world's largest clean water gorge.


Come alone, with a buddy, or meet a new best friend. Retreats are a place for you to drop in, explore you, connect with community, slow down and gain new perspectives. 

The Experience

Wake up slowly with some of the most amazing views of the sea. Join us for a morning practice followed by a later breakfast together. Meals are a nourishing part of the retreat experience - fully plant-based, freshly prepared, and made with love by the retreat center’s kitchen team. The food is sourced from local, family-owned organic farms, and follows a no-waste, seasonal, and wholesome philosophy.


Spend mid-day exploring YOU in Montenegro. Perched on a steep hill in Buljarica, we're a 15-minute walk from Montenegro's second-longest beach and the last marshland on the Adriatic coast. Buljarica remains an authentic seaside gem, peaceful and untouched, with a unique 2,250m beach. Enjoy village houses, restaurants, a monastery, and a small shop. Facilities at Mahkala include; shala with mountain & sea views, plant based kitchen, rooftop relaxation area with jacuzzi, outdoor bathtubs, outdoor lounge and a spa. 


We meet again in the late afternoon for another yoga session, followed by a community dinner. Celebrating each evening with a sustainable and locally sourced plant based fresh menu and conversation(food for soul).

Space

The Mahakala Retreat Building is a three-floor house with seven private rooms and shared spaces. The ground floor includes two bedrooms and a shared living and dining area opening onto the jasmine-covered terrace. The first floor has two bedrooms and the yoga shala, the second floor three bedrooms, and the top floor a rooftop jacuzzi with open views. Sunny Café, attached to the building, offers simple vegetarian meals, homemade treats, coffee, and herbal teas, depending on the season.

Travel + Getting There

We recommend booking a flight that arrives at Podgorica Airport (TGD).

If you are not able to fly into Podgorica, there is also another airport in Tivat. You can take a taxi from Tivat airport to our center for around 40 euros. You may also be able to travel by bus, which may be slightly cheaper. It is also possible to come from Dubrovnik airport. It usually costs around 100€ by taxi.
