Guest Coach Retreat
June 29 @ 3:00 pm – July 5 @ 4:00 pm Europe/Bulgaria
Where the Earth Heals and the Soul Awakens
Why We’re Gathering
Now in its second year, Sacred Earth Yoga Retreat welcomes you to the gentle embrace of bohemian rural Bulgaria β a week devoted to rest, renewal, and reconnection with the rhythms of nature and your own soul.
Surrounded by whispering forests, wildflower meadows, and the song of a cool trickling creek, youβll be held by the healing energy of the land. Here, each breath draws you closer to stillness; each sunrise invites you to soften, ground, and remember your natural state of harmony. This is a space to release whatβs heavy and let the Earth nourish you back into balance.
Hosted by the RisingSoul, our retreat unfolds in late June β when the sun is warm, the days are long, and the land overflows with abundance. Sweet strawberries and cherries fill the air with fragrance, and gardens offer vibrant fruits and vegetables fresh from the earth.
This is more than a retreat β itβs a gentle return to yourself.
A time to move, breathe, and heal surrounded by natureβs wisdom.
A sanctuary where you can be still, be nourished, and be renewed.
Come and experience the magic of Sacred Earth Yoga Retreat β where the Earth holds you tenderly, the river restores your spirit, and your soul blooms in its own divine rhythm.

What’s Included
What’s Not Included
Contributions
This retreat is made possible through shared contribution, inviting both energy exchange and financial support in service of the collective experience.
Energy Exchange
Energy exchange, often referred to as karma yoga, is the practice of offering oneβs time, presence, and effort in service of the collective. It is rooted in the understanding that meaningful experiences are sustained not only through financial contribution, but also through conscious participation, shared responsibility, and mutual care. Within the retreat, participants may be invited to contribute in ways that feel aligned and supportive, such as:
- Caring independently for shared spaces like the yoga hall, courtyard, or meditation room
- Supporting the kitchen team by helping with clean-up after communal meals
- Assisting with animal care, including grooming and walking high-energy dogs
- Participating in garden care, such as harvesting, watering plants, or flower arranging
Through these simple yet intentional acts of service, the retreat becomes a co-created spaceβdeepening presence, humility, and connection. Karma yoga offers an opportunity to step into contribution with awareness, allowing each participant to support the flow of the retreat while cultivating a sense of balance, appreciation, and shared purpose.

Who Hold the Space
Evelina


Evelinaβs journey into yoga began the moment she stepped in front of a class and experienced a profound inner shift. In that space, fatigue, stress, and physical tension softened, replaced by embodied ease, quiet focus, and a deep sense of presence. What began as a teaching moment became an intimate discovery of how yoga could restore balance, vitality, and inner stillness.
After eleven years in Londonβs corporate world, the clarity Evelina found through her personal practice became impossible to ignore. Even after days shaped by relentless schedules, crowded commutes, and constant pressure, stepping onto the mat would bring a sense of lightness and renewal, both in body and mind. Today, she carries this depth into her teaching, curating refined retreat experiences that invite participants to slow down, reconnect, and return to their natural state of clarity and ease.
