WHO AM I?

My name is Svetlana, 27, and I am from Croatia. I have always believed in the power of community and our ability to heal and transform. I was living in the Netherlands and studying what is my true passion, Leisure and Events Management. At that time I got to a point where my health was in question, stuck in bed, unable to move, I felt like that was the rock bottom.I pushed my body and myself for almost 10 years, and when being left with many health issues and a lack of perspective on my goals, and what I thought life should be, in those moments, I knew I had nothing more to lose.

As Rupi Kaur beautifully wrote: “it was when I stopped searching for home within others and lifted the foundations of home within myself I found there were no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole.”

I was always someone others would say had my “head in the skies” and looked at the world around thinking there must be more than our silly little jobs, this life and pain and suffering around. After re-evaluating life, my passion, dreams and knowledge I have my vision is a place where a community of compatible and harmonious people shares joy and knowledge.

The Vision: The Project and Long-Term Goal:

Inspired by the first card in the tarot deck “The Fool” I have decided this is going to be the year I will dive into embracing my dreams and the work on what I call “Project Life.”The Fool, even in the uncertainty, moves joyfully and confidently, believing that the universe will support him. In my darkest, rock bottom moments that is what made me keep going. This is where the vastness of the sky serves as a reminder to look up, dream big, and explore fearlessly.

Go ahead, let go of your fear, have faith and dive in the path of discovery. This is where your journey begins too.

In the famous words of F. M. Alexander : “People do not decide their futures. They decide their habits, and their habits decide their futures.”

The retreat will be a sanctuary for mutual learning, and giving, where wisdom flows freely and everyone plays a part. Changemakers, united by a common purpose to live in harmony first with ourselves, each other, and our planet Gaia. With a foundation built on love and a dedication to lifelong learning this sanctuary will be a new world of conscious and empowered beings. Offering through community living a blend of healing arts, nature immersion to heal and guide individuals toward a more balanced life and aligned to your Divinity. The goal is continuous learning, teaching and inspiration, leaving a positive imprint and heritage for new generations to grow.

The long-term vision is to have a place where you can attend workshops, online seminars, cacao ceremonies, and other soul-nourishing experiences that will not only help you find peace and a place of belonging but also provide enriching knowledge of sustainability and fulfillment.

UNTIL PURCHASE AND RENOVATION:

Offering limited spiritual and online events. To start building the community and help renovate it will be offered first as a WorkAway opportunity for volunteers.

The renovation is estimated to take 2-3 years depending on the quantity of volunteers and weather forecast. The special content is shared to the donors for FREE, and all the updates and information will be shared on Youtube but more exclusively on Patreon. After renovation the goal is to host guests and offer exclusive healing and spiritual events, workshops and sessions. Different healers and shamans are visiting “The Fools”, enriching the event programme and offering a variety of possibilities depending on your interest.

How can you assist?

We are getting closer to achieving our dream with each and every donation, no matter the amount. By donating, you join a more significant effort to spread Divine knowledge and light throughout the world.

If you are unable to donate, you can still help and support the cause by sharing with your friends, family, and anyone else you know who resonates with the cause.

WHY YOUR HELP IS NEEDED?

To make this vision a reality, your help is needed to cover the costs of the purchase and renovating cost, and creating the community space. The funds will be used for renovation costs that will be broken down in detail when the house is purchased. Every donation will help bring us one step closer to opening our doors and creating a space that will help you discover inner peace and well being in a serene natural surrounding.

The volunteers are more than welcome not only the donation. Contact me via the website or stay tuned for the WorkAway info to see how to reach out and mention your availability, skills and knowledge you wish to share.

THE OFFER: DONORS AS MAIN PART OF THE JOURNEY:

When you donate, you’re not only helping the project come to life; you’re joining a growing community that values community living, healing and connection. To show the appreciation, different rewards are offered such as access to retreats, private online sessions, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and early access to events. Whether you’re looking for a weekend retreat or want to be a part of the ceremonies we host, there’s a special reward for every level of support.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?

There is a lot of potential in rural areas in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, that suit the needs. The prices go around 20-40 thousand euros. The best option is rural area, countryside and big spacious green area around the house to eventually build as self-sufficient as possible garden and host events with larger groups of people, and also have enough space to keep expanding the garden and build tiny houses to accommodate more people. The house that is optimal is something cheaper that requires renovations so that the rest of the funds can be used to start the renovation.

The updates will be available and you can be a part of the journey from the beginning, so make sure to stay in touch on social media, website or the newsletter as it’s all happening!

WHY NOW?

Being in the spiritual field as a healer myself and everything happening astrologically the mission right now is to bring people together and remind them we need each other, we need the love and light in order to thrive. There is only a part of the healing that an individual can do for himself, but together we can accomplish so much more. I believe we are making a New World by making this change in this future retreat and the impact that it will have.

This retreat isn’t just a project—it’s a community that will transform lives. By supporting this campaign, you’re helping create a space where people can come together, heal, share, learn, and connect on a deeper level.

Thank you for believing in this vision. Together, we can make it happen.

STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH.

I would love to keep you updated on the progress of the retreat!
