Mavrovo, North Macedonia

Welcome

We are delighted to introduce you to our Move & Wild Movement Retreat, set in the breathtaking landscapes of Mavrovo.

This unique retreat offers a one-of-a-kind experience for movement practitioners of all levels. Over five days, you'll reconnect with your body, explore your movement potential, and immerse yourself in the raw beauty of nature.

Each day includes two movement sessions focused on flow, balance, handstands, and flexibility — mixed with daily outdoor adventures designed to awaken a sense of play and exploration.

Surrounded by mountains, forests, and wide-open landscapes, you'll move, explore, and unwind in one of the region's most untouched natural environments.

More than just a retreat, this is a space for connection — to yourself, to others, and to the natural world.

Biking

Ride around the stunning Mavrovo Lake, situated at 1,200 meters above sea level. Surrounded by dense forests reflected in crystal-clear water, this 31 km route is unforgettable.

Along the way, you'll encounter one of the region's hidden gems: a submerged church from 1850 — a truly breathtaking sight.

ATV Adventure

Step into the wild with a thrilling ATV ride through the forests of Mount Bistra. This one-hour off-road experience brings you deep into nature, where the terrain becomes part of the adventure.

After the forest tour, we'll gather in the old tavern to enjoy a hearty regional meal and share stories from our invigorating time outdoors.
