RS RESIDENTS RETREAT

Why We’re Gathering

Wild Hearts Raw Vegan Immersion is a 10-day raw vegan retreat in Europe designed as a radical reboot for solo travellers, conscious singles, and plant-based explorers. This substance-free immersion weaves together raw vegan nutrition, daily yoga, deep inner work, nature adventure, and authentic human connection within a thriving bohemian eco-yogic community.

Set in the wild Balkan Mountains of Bulgaria at RisingSoul Retreat, this is not just another vegan holiday. It’s a high-vibe community immersion — a modern tribal experiment created to bring like-minded souls together through shared living, service, and connection.

Guests live and grow side by side through shared meals, paired 1-to-1 karma yoga, trust-building workshops, cold water immersion, mountain hiking, cacao ceremony, and embodied connection practices. This is not a party retreat, soulless singles or a dating holiday. It’s a real-life nervous system reset — supporting healthier relationships, deeper presence, and a renewed sense of belonging.

You don’t need to be raw vegan to join. Whether you’re already living plant-based or simply curious about clean, conscious living, you’re welcome here. Our kitchen adapts to the group while offering raw vegan workshops, foraging experiences, and practical tools you can take home with you.

If you’re looking for a raw vegan retreat in Europe that offers depth, adventure, community, and genuine connection — you’ve found your place.

Is a Raw Vegan Singles Gathering For You?

You will feel at home here if. . .

You find beauty in the rustic and the reclaimed, and you prefer the song of the Balkan forest to the hum of an air conditioner. You will thrive here if you value authenticity over luxury, and if you feel a sense of purpose when contributing to a community—whether that’s through harvesting wild herbs or helping a partner with the washing up. You’ll fit right in if you love deep, “Big Talk” conversations, enjoy the company of rescue dogs, and believe that the best medicine is a mix of moving meditation, raw nutrition, and stargazing with new friends.

This may not be your place if…

You are looking for a traditional “hands-off” resort experience where you are waited on or can remain anonymous in the back of a crowd. If you find the idea of Karma Yoga (community service) or participating in social trust-building games outside of your comfort zone, this immersion may feel too interactive. This is also not the place for those who cannot go without less caffeine, alcohol, or cooked food for ten days, or for those who require high-speed modern infrastructure and hotel-style amenities. Or if you’re not single! Our home is a bohemian eco-sanctuary; it is wild, raw, and communal by design.

What’s Unique About Singles Retreat

Most singles trips and group holidays can feel awkward at first — lots of new faces, small talk, and that strange feeling of being surrounded by people yet still feeling alone.

At Wild Hearts, connection grows naturally through shared life, not forced icebreakers. We use a simple Karma Yoga Pair system, where you’re partnered with a different person every couple of days to support the land and community together — walking our rescue dogs, harvesting from the garden, watering, cleaning, or caring for the space. Working side by side takes the pressure off conversation and allows real connection to form through presence, cooperation, and shared purpose.

Alongside this, we nourish the body with vibrant raw vegan food, daily movement, fresh mountain air, and time in nature. Many people notice a natural increase in clarity, energy, emotional openness, and ease in social connection when the body is well supported and the nervous system settles.

This is not a party retreat and it’s not a dating event. It’s a lived experience of community, simplicity, meaningful work, and honest human connection — the kind that stays with you long after you leave.
