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
Heritage & Nature Retreat with Yoga & Meditation
Rather than rushing into the busy New Year activities, we create space to slow down, reflect, and begin 2027 with clarity, joy, and inspiration.
Discover the hidden beauty of Southern Oman, one of the most fascinating and least explored regions of the Arabian Peninsula.
Oman is one of the world’s safest countries, rich in culture, with warm-hearted people and an inspiring spirit of peace.
Each day begins with a peaceful morning rhythm: gentle sunrise yoga and meditation by the ocean, breath awareness, and sound healing. These simple practices are designed to help you reconnect with yourself, awaken your body, calm your mind, and fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the journey.
Our retreat takes place in Salalah region, where the Arabian Sea meets dramatic mountains, golden desert landscapes, white sand beaches, and centuries of history. Unlike the busy tourist destinations of the Middle East, this region offers a rare combination of untouched nature, authentic culture, and peaceful surroundings.
During this journey, you will explore spectacular coastlines, remote beaches, canyons, mountains, desert dunes, ancient frankincense lands, and traditional villages, while enjoying comfortable beachfront accommodation and the warm hospitality for which Oman is famous.
Salalah is not about luxury resorts and nightlife. It is about reconnecting with nature, slowing down, and experiencing the beauty of a country that still feels authentic and undiscovered.
This retreat is not only about visiting beautiful places. It is about creating space for rest, meaningful connections, and rediscovering the simple joy of being fully present.
