Community Retreats & Schedule

Join Our Non Profit Yoga Retreats to Support a Sustainable Plant Based Life

Earth & Spirit Retreat

Our work here is to provide a space and practices that enable you to heal and relax from the bombardment of modern life. Our intention is to raise our collective vibration and reveal our true self: Joy & compassion are our natural state and all life is sacred.

The RisingSoul is a safe space to reconnect with your authentic self and mother earth. Find yourself immersed in the wild forest, mountain air and spring water of Bulgaria’s undiscovered gem the Bohemian Balkans.

We are a little different to many retreat centers, we are a group of non paid volunteers and residents who invite guests to join us through our yoga community Retreats. & open our space to Guest Coaches to share their teachings. We offer a 5% Discount if you book directly through us as a thankyou for saving us commision from the booking platforms and supporting our work.

We run the Earth & Spirit Community Yoga Retreat, everyday from may to Sep with flexible arrival tuesday to friday and the Wild Forest Awakening Retreat which runs twice a year and can be purchased as a full retreat or as an upgrade to the Earth & Spirit Retreat for guests who are already staying with us.

In addition to this, unique retreats and short courses are held by Guest Coaches in low season. More about these on the drop down menu under the Retreat Hub tab.

What Else Do I Need To Know?

This is a special place and we want you to enjoy and love this community as much as we do. Living in a non commercial environment and reducing our Eco footprint requires acceptance, compassion and compromises. 

Life here is deliberately basic & rustic. We invite you to experience how little we truly need & the lightness that this brings when we reconnect with each other & the elements, as we let go of expectation and attachment to the material world.

Our community embraces the simplicity and culture of rustic Bulgarian mountain village life and recognises the benefits of a reduction in white noise and media influence. Guided by our resident coaches, our guests are supported to develop self-responsibility and practice presence and form wonderful connections within the community whilst experiencing the daily flow of life with the locals.

RisingSoul is situated on the Belitsa River, and surrounded by lush mountain valley forests, on the edge of the cultural and historic town of Tryavna. Here you will find a vibrant international community of diverse and inspiring travellers and coaches. We are waiting to welcome you to the unique experience of living, eating, and breathing yogic and Daoist practice.
