Digital Nomad-Friendly Stays

Welcome to RisingSoul – Your Digital Nomad Haven in the Heart of Bulgaria

In 2018, RisingSoul's founder, Row, found herself stranded for four months in a Moroccan hostel during the first international COVID lockdown. Unable to leave the country or reach her holiday home in Bulgaria—where she intended to base herself between freelance equine contracts—life took an unexpected twist.

Surrounded by frantic young travelers desperate for rescue flights and those advised to seek Moroccan residency, Row began teaching yoga to bring peace and stability. She shared a space with a community of COVID refugees, including travelers and digital nomads, all navigating the uncertainty together.

During this time, the idea for RisingSoul was born: a community home for those in need of refuge—a sanctuary where travelers and nomads could live, work, and thrive. Listening to the stories and needs of those around her, she envisioned a space where connection, healing, and productivity coexist.

Who Stays With Us?

At RisingSoul, we welcome free spirits, wanderers, and seekers from every corner of the world. Some come to immerse themselves in yogic practices, deep meditation, and healing within the tranquil flow of mountain life. Others arrive after long periods of travel and remote work, seeking to find their ideal work-life balance supported by our daily self-practices, nourishing plant-based meals, and vibrant community life.

We are also a popular choice for location-independent remote workers who want to experience community living alongside retreat guests, embracing the peacefulness of nature while staying productive.

No matter where you come from, you become part of the family. Here, friendships are forged over shared meals, sunset meditations, and nights by the fire under starlit skies.

Where Can I Work?

Between yoga retreats, our community thrives with daily yoga practices, shared meals, and evening activities. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, and you are free to work from any of our spaces—from cozy nooks with mountain views to our outdoor terraces.

The only exceptions are the Meditation Room and Yoga Barn, which are sacred, tech-free spaces dedicated to mindfulness and practice. During Yoga Retreats, we want you and other guests to unplug, relax, and fully benefit from the yoga experience, so laptop working is not permitted in retreat spaces. Instead, you can separate Retreat life from Work life by using our river-view co-working office.
