GATHER
Women’s Retreat in Montenegro
13th-17th August, 2025
Buljarica, Montenegro
CONTACT aknacollective@gmail.com TO BOOK
Welcome to a transformative 4-night yoga retreat with Akna Collective co-founder, Ania Puciata. Over the course of this journey, you’ll be guided through yoga practice (vinyasa, hatha & yin), an yoga workshop, breathwork, sound meditation, yoga Nidra, and an exciting exploration of the Adriatic seaside by boat. We'll dive deep into embodied flows, free movement, and the unfolding of your internal wholeness. We will do this all in the presence of women, sharing space in circles, ceremonies, embodied movement, while practicing breathwork techniques to empower and harness the energy we each possess.
At Akna Collective, our retreats are more than just yoga—they are opportunities for profound self-discovery and deep exploration. They are a space in which you can sit with any discomforts that show up, to witness, to hold them with love, and to transform.
If this speaks to you, trust that this is the moment you were meant to find. We invite you to join us for an intimate, nourishing retreat on the raw coastline of Montenegro.
Are you ready to embark on this path of self-love?
As summer fades, we invite you to honor this transition with powerful rituals that reconnect you to your most authentic self. Akna Collective retreats with Ania Puciata offer a space to slow down, reflect, and deepen your connection—both within and with a community of beautiful women.
Through sound meditation, Yoga Nidra, embodied movement and yoga-based workshops, as well as cultural immersion- you’ll strip back the layers of your guard, rediscover your inner strength, and embrace the next chapter with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll create meaningful experiences, celebrate sisterhood, and welcome the change of seasons with open hearts.
Location
The retreat will take place at the Mahakala Retreat Center in Montenegro—a stunning sanctuary designed for deep rest, connection, and renewal. Nestled between lush green hills and overlooking the Adriatic Sea, Mahakala is a sustainably built space that harmonizes with nature. The center features nourishing, organic meals sourced from its own gardens, a wellness spa with a traditional sauna, and stunning ocean-view yoga spaces. Surrounded by pristine landscapes, this retreat offers the perfect setting to unwind, realign, and embrace the transformative energy of the season.
FOOD
Each day, you'll enjoy two nourishing plant-based meals—brunch and dinner—designed to be both satisfying and energizing. Additionally, a light snack will be provided to keep you fueled throughout your practice. Our menu is thoughtfully curated to inspire you to incorporate more plant-based goodness into your life long after the retreat.
