About this Retreat
Yaya Minté is a French singer, songwriter and performer whose artistic path is deeply connected to human connection, inner exploration and collective energy.
Through music, voice and presence, he creates spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and with others. During the retreat, Yaya guides sharing circles and moments of artistic expression, culminating in an intimate closing concert.
In addition to his artistic work, Yaya is also trained in energetic bodywork and offers optional energy massage sessions. His practice is trusted by high-level athletes, including Olympic-level competitors, as well as individuals seeking deep relaxation and energetic alignment.
Dilek is the co-host and organizer of the Nio Far retreats. Franco-Turkish and deeply connected to the Datça region since childhood, she brings the project to life by creating a warm and carefully held environment for participants.
During the retreat, Dilek ensures the smooth flow of the program and the overall experience of the group. She is present throughout the journey, helping participants feel welcomed, supported and at ease.
Her role is not therapeutic but relational: holding space, facilitating exchanges and making sure each person can fully experience the retreat in a calm and respectful atmosphere.
Tülin Özer discovered yoga in 2010 while searching for ways to improve her physical health. What began as a personal practice soon became a transformative path that reshaped both her body and her inner life.
She completed her foundational yoga teacher training in 2019 with Surya Yoga and continued her studies with advanced training and specialized programs, including hormone yoga and prenatal yoga.
Based in Datça for several years, Tülin shares yoga as a holistic practice that supports physical well-being, emotional balance and inner awareness. Her teaching combines strength, softness and deep listening to the body.
A professional naturopath will guide participants through workshops focused on natural health, nutrition and holistic well-being. The practitioner for this edition will be announced soon.
A breathwork facilitator will lead guided sessions designed to support emotional release, relaxation and deeper connection to the body.
Details of this retreat
The Nio Far retreat is an intimate and immersive experience designed to reconnect with yourself, nature and others through movement, creativity and shared human moments.
Hosted by French artist Yaya Minté and Dilek, who is Franco-Turkish and deeply connected to the Datça region since childhood, the retreat brings together a small group of participants in a peaceful Mediterranean setting.
This is the second edition of the Nio Far retreat in Datça, following a first gathering in October 2025 that brought together an intimate international group.
The retreat takes place in Palamutbükü, a preserved coastal village on the Datça peninsula, far from mass tourism. Surrounded by sea, mountains and olive trees, the environment invites calm, simplicity and presence.
Throughout the week, participants explore a balanced rhythm of practices and experiences including yoga, breathwork, meditation, sharing circles, creative expression and moments of rest. The retreat also opens outward through nature walks, local discoveries and a private boat excursion along the Datça coastline.
The group is intentionally limited to 12 participants in order to preserve an intimate and supportive atmosphere.
The retreat closes with a live acoustic concert by Yaya Minté, a moment of celebration and connection shared with the group.
The retreat is held in English and French and welcomes both international and French-speaking participants.
If you would like to learn more about the experience or see if the retreat is the right fit for you, we are happy to connect and answer your questions.
