Elemental Rhythms: A Journey Through Nature, Sound & Self

Reconnect to the wisdom of Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Space through movement, sound and wild nature.

Step into a transformative 6-day retreat in the heart of Bosnia’s untouched, fairytale-like landscapes — a land of wild rivers, ancient forests, mountains.

"Elemental Rhythms" is a sacred journey designed to help you harness the power of the five great elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether — through intentional movement, immersive nature experiences, and vibrational sound healing. Each day will be dedicated to one element, exploring its energetic qualities, emotional influence, and its meaning in our physical, mental, and spiritual lives.

Through a combination of elemental yoga, sound medicine, meditation and, breath-work, you’ll reconnect with your body’s inner rhythm while tuning into the natural pulse of the world around you. We will gather around fire, rest in the forest, dip in wild waters, breathe in the mountain air, and tune into the spaciousness of ether — returning to what is essential, alive, and true.

This retreat is not just about healing and recharging — it’s about thriving in a supportive space, surrounded by like-minded souls, where connection, authenticity, and joy are encouraged.

    • Duration : 6 Days
  • 📅 Sunday 1th September - Saturday 6th September
  • 🎓 Limited to 12-20 participants for a high-quality, personalised experience
  • 📍 Biokovina Wild, Bosnia
  • 💷 €850 (includes training and tuition, meals, accommodation, cultural and entertainment programme)

Bio & Credentials of Retreat Leader/s

Gosia Madrzak- yoga teacher, sound healing practitioner, and musician devoted to creating transformative spaces for reconnection, restoration, and renewal. Deeply passioned about healing abilities of body and vibrations.

Her journey combines together years of experience in yoga, functional movement, and fitness with an emphasis on alignment, and nervous system health. Her classes are intentional and accessible, helping people build strength, mobility, and awareness from the inside out.

As a trained sound healing practitioner and singer, she works with voice, crystal bowls, Tibetan instruments, chimes, and drums to guide others into deep states of rest, release, and resonance.

What to Expect

Your mornings will begin with an energy-activating yoga flow, inspired by one of the five great elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. These classes are accessible yet powerful, helping you awaken your body, balance your nervous system, and align with the elemental forces and their qualities in our lives.

The schedule includes time throughout the day — to rest, reflect, or simply resonate with the practices in stillness or solitude. Integration is key, and this retreat allows you to truly absorb the depth of your experience without pressure or overwhelm. As you move, breathe, and listen, you’ll begin to tap into your inner power, gain clarity, and connect with a higher wisdom that lives beyond the noise of daily life. We’ll also venture out to explore Bosnia’s breathtaking, fairytale-like landscapes and traditional village where time slows.

White Swallow Lodge


The Perfect Spot for Community Meals and Views

The heart of any community space White Swallow Lodge houses the kitchen facilities. Immediately in front is a large terrace where we often gather for community meals overlooking the permaculture gardens.

Chill Out Area


Relax and Unwind in the Chill Out Area

The Chill Out Area is an outdoor space for relaxing and taking it easy. In warmer weather it is shaded by sailcloths. It is also close to the firepit also situated in the same gardens.

Eagles View


A Stunning Spot for Outdoor Workshops

Eagles View is the highest point on the property and has the best view. It is situated above our natural springwater supply. It is a great space for outdoor workshops and practice.

Hazel Lodge


Discover Hazel Lodge: A Peaceful Workshop Setting

Hazel Lodge is our main indoor area for hosting workshops and retreat activities. It is situated away from the main accommodation and has a stunning view back down the valley.

Attic


The Attic: A Quiet Space for Reflection and Creativity

Whilst we encourage people to spend as much time as possible outside in nature the Attic offers a quiet indoor space to reflect and assimilate. It is also the home of a 4K cinema which some workshop hosts might want to use for presentations and workshops or if the mood takes a movie night.

Firepit


Gather and Connect in the Heart of the Garden

The Firepit is another gathering space situated in the main garden. It offers a place to come together and tell stories around the fire.

Fruit and Nut Forest


Nurturing Sustainable Food Sources in the Village

The endemic plant life is so vibrant that it will swamp many things that you try to grow. Fruit and nut trees and shrubs are good long term food sources so we have planted more than 200 fruit and nut trees throughout the village.

Forest


Surrounded by Ancient Forest and Wildlife

All around us there is ancient forest land. A beautiful mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees. The forest frames the village and is home to some of Europes apex animals – wolves bears and lynx.

Meadowland


A Haven for Rare Orchids and Butterflies

The Meadowland around Biokovina is second to none mostly because there is no use of chemicals in the ancient farming techniques practised in the village. Rare orchids abound – it’s a botanists paradise. But not to be left out there is a cornucopia of butterflys – a lepidopterists dream.

Communal Gardens


Green Spaces for Reflection and Relaxation

Whilst formal gardens are not our style we do have green spaces to retreat to and reflect upon and assimilate your experiences at Biokovina Wild.
