Menu/Cuisine

Traditionally in Romanian culture, food is king. Although plant-based food is a new term in Romania, vegetable fermentation, organic farming & meat/dairy free are widely practiced traditions.

About the Venue

  • Akasha Wellness Retreat
    Peștera Județul Brașov Romania
    A beautiful space at over 1000m altitude overlooking pristine Transylvanian countryside & unspoiled mountain views. From here, high above the daily city life, we practice a simple philosophy inspired by nature, clean eating, relaxation, spirituality & a balanced healthy mind healthy body lifestyle. The retreat is set in the pretty little village of Pestera in the center of the beautiful Piatra Craiului National Park, one of the most majestic mountains & unspoilt natural reserves of Romania. And just around a corner or a glance away you can spot an even grander mountain landscape, the mystical Bucegi mountains. In this quiet & small little village, you'll find a handful of hard-working mountain farmers & shepherds maintaining 100yr old traditions. Set in almost an acre of greenland, our R/E.treat has 360-degree views over beautiful sloping hills, forests & natural rivers that flow at the bottom of our garden.  This is not just a retreat. This is nature's treat for YOUR wellbeing.We practice a Digital Detox Retreat, this is to allow your mind to disconnect from the overload of digital communications and listen more deeply to life, connect with others on the retreat and live in the present moment.Every morning until breakfast time and one full morning until noon we practice a silent retreat, this is a powerful tool to connect with yourself, pick a good book and explore the true benefits of being on R/E.TREAT. This is YOUR time.

Why Retreat?

We asked people why they go on retreat, here's what they said:

This sounds like a dream! I am an education student and I have spent way too much time working all summer to pay for school. My boyfriend of 5 years is a government firefighter and has been away working most of the summer. His 30th Birthday and our 6th anniversary is coming up this winter, we would love to celebrate with a yoga retreat! We both love yoga but have barley had time to practice in the past few months. Keeping our fingers crossed! Jaimee and Dan
 

Retreat Guru's Vision

We believe human beings are innately wise, strong and kind. This wisdom, although not always experienced, is always present. Going on retreat is a beautiful way to reconnect to our basic sanity and health. Our aspiration at Retreat Guru is to inspire people to experience authentic retreats and reconnect with their innate wisdom, strength and kindness.
