Hello dear interested ones!

I will be hosting a very special Intimate retreat with friend Rida Kirasi and Can Dedeoglu os Soundala Therapy in the countriside of Turkey, near Istambul https://en.soundalatherapy.com/

Rida and Can are amazing therapists and sound healers.

This will be a sound healing retreat. We will have areas where we turn inward with sounds, embark on journeys, and cleanse ourselves.

Location: It will be within the Kırklareli province, a 2 hour and 15-minute drive from Istanbul.

Program and details: If you would like to have a video call pleae advise. The harmony of the group’s energy is extremely important. We will limit the number of participants to 12 for the health of the group work. Just reply to this email saying “I’m in” and that will be enough.

The retreat space is not a retreat center but Rida and Can home in the countryside, so it will be an intimate and freeing experience. We will have sessions and classes in the mornings and evenings, and during free time, you can spend time in the sourrounding nature or take walks in the forest. Since the purpose of the retreat is not a touristic trip, but rather to spend time looking inward in a safe and familiar environment, you can stay here and spend your time with meditation, yoga, reading, or writing. All meals here are vegan and gluten-free, made with local products.

Accommodation options:

  • You can share wooden cabins with another person or bring your own tent. In both cases, you need to bring your own sleeping bag and inflatable mattress.

  • There are outdoor toilets and showers next to the retreat area.

  • Another option is to stay in a hotel in Kıyıköy or Balkaya, as some participants do. You can commute to the sessions from there. We have discounts at the hotels.
