About this Retreat
Your Guides
Alexander Katerinko (Alex) is a certified Shaolin qigong and (RYT 500) instructor, and sound therapist with over 10 years of experience. He is the founder of Meditation Hub Studio in Cyprus and the creator of the Synergia Method — a holistic system that integrates breath, movement, and sound for deep transformation and inner alignment.
Story:
For most of his conscious life Alex worked in a hazardous environment at a major international oil company, rapidly climbing the career ladder. However, in 2016 he experienced a transformation, after which he decided to leave the career as a top manager and dedicate himself to spiritual growth.
Path to Self: Initially, Alex attempted self-development in several areas at once: cooking, enology, Latin dances, learning foreign languages, music, freediving, yoga, qigong.
Gradually, practicing qigong and yoga became a part of his new life, and then he decided to travel the world to study various Eastern practices
Integration of Old Oriental Traditions:
Over time, it became clear to Alex that despite many contradictions, all ancient Eastern philosophical teachings and physical practices have many common principles. As a result of the unification of such principles, the Synergy was born. An important element of this system is the principle of reverse biological feedback, or somopsychics – where through certain physical practices we affect our psyche, allowing us to quickly relieve stress, achieve harmony, and increase the energy level of the body.
My mission:
To travel, spread knowledge, help people!
Invitation to Transformation:
I invite everyone to join me in exciting transformational journeys to various corners of our amazing Planet. Let's open the doors to a new state of happiness and harmony together!
Details of this retreat
This 5-day Breathwork and Meditation Training in Armenia is designed as a practical and immersive journey into understanding and regulating your nervous system through breath, awareness, and sound.
In today’s fast-paced world, most people live in a constant state of low-level stress without realizing it. This retreat offers a clear and structured way to reset your system, restore balance, and reconnect with your natural state of calm, clarity, and energy.
Breath is the only system in the body that works both automatically and consciously. By learning how to work with it correctly, you gain direct access to your physical, emotional, and mental states.
This experience combines ancient Eastern practices with modern scientific understanding, creating a grounded and accessible approach without unnecessary esoteric language.
Throughout the retreat, you will not only relax, but also learn how to:
• regulate stress and emotional states
• increase energy and focus when needed
• activate deep relaxation and recovery
• develop awareness and inner stability
The program integrates breathwork, meditation, gentle movement inspired by yoga and qigong, and immersive sound sessions with Tibetan singing bowls and gongs.
Each day is carefully structured to balance learning and experience, with time for integration, rest, and exploration of Armenia’s natural beauty, including the mountains of Tsaghkadzor and visits to iconic locations like Lake Sevan.
This retreat is ideal for those who want more than just a temporary escape.
It is for those who want to understand how their system works and gain practical tools they can use in everyday life.
You will leave not only feeling reset and recharged, but with a clear understanding of how to recreate these states independently.
