Join Anna Hughes and Ritual Retreats on retreat to the island of Brač in Sutivan, Croatia. This little slice of paradise is right on the beach on one of Croatia’s biggest islands. Home to some of the best olive oil in the world with magnetic Cyprus lined beaches and the Adriatic Sea as our backdrop.
This is so much more than a yoga retreat. While we will practice yoga daily, this 6 day (5 night) retreat has been mindfully curated to offer you an adventure through a local lens. Learn about olive oil farming and pasta making, peruse the relaxing town within walking distance from our serene property, enjoy breathtaking sea views with new friends or settle in with a good book. With additional opportunities to explore more islands and beautiful spots around Croatia as well as explore the island of Brač itself.
The intention of this retreat is to CONNECT. To connect with the natural beauty of the island, to foster connections to one another and perhaps most importantly, use this as precious time to connect back to yourself. This is an adventure you don’t want to miss!
We will create new friendships, explore the crystal clear waters, and bask in the beauty of the Dalmatian coast. We are so thrilled to have the opportunity to offer this retreat to you. This place is nothing short of magic and we cannot wait for you to join us there next year!
