About Goran Bogdanovski
Goran Bogdanovski
Mission & Vision
Ficho Institute and Dance Alchemy support personal transformation, embodiment, creativity, and authentic expression through movement-based practices.
Through retreats, facilitator trainings, weekly practices, and online programs, we combine dance improvisation, contact improvisation, breathwork, somatic, and body–mind–spirit practices into a structured yet deeply human approach to transformation.
Our mission is to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, develop awareness, confidence, creativity, and authentic expression — while learning how to guide others safely and meaningfully through embodied practices.

Veduna is a place of deep natural beauty, and calm and relaxed energy for sacred ceremonies, personal development, and healing.
A space where new paradigms are pushed and deeper understandings are gained. Where we rekindle our connection to nature and reconnect with ourselves.
23 hectares of private land to wander carefree, surrounded by mountains and meadows as far as the eye can see and the feet can carry.
