Move Body, Mind & Pen at a Stunning Location in Turkey


Travel to Turkey and treat yourself to the unique experience of this Yoga & Writing retreat. In the absolute calm of a sun and star filled valley near the coast of South-West Turkey, discover how the combination of yoga and writing can transform your life. Besides daily yoga and writing sessions you can enjoy silent mornings, afternoons and evenings sprinkled with writing opportunities, delicious veggie cuisine and enough free time to relax, write and wander around the breathtaking landscape. In early October, the warm sunny days in Turkey offer the best time to enjoy the great views all around, and open your heart all the way from the mountains to the sea.

This retreat will be hosted at Huzur Vadisi, a beautiful retreat centre situated in the region of southwest Turkey known as Lycia. Mountainous and forested with a beautiful coastline of deep bays and islands the scenery is quite stunning, with limestone cliffs and panoramic views of mountains rising from the turquoise sea. Meaning ‘peaceful valley’, Huzur Vadisi is built around a traditional restored farmstead with a natural stone swimming pool and a spacious outdoor yoga shala. Accommodation is in simple but comfortably appointed yurts (shared with one or two persons for most) scattered among the olive groves and the beaches are only 15 minutes away (by car).

One day you will have the opportunity to have a completely free day or to enjoy a beautiful boat trip on the Mediterranean Sea where we can swim, shop, play, sun and relax. Of course we can take our notepads with us! (day trip=extra fee). In addition, you are welcome to book one or more massages with a superb masseuse, or take an afternoon for yourself at the beach or town.

More information and sign-up!

This is what previous participants had to say about this retreat:

“It was a dream for me.”

“It was extremely beneficial. I learned a lot. Strengthened my yoga practice and discovered a totally new field: writing.”

“I will continue to work and learn from this week for a long time, I know. Thank you!”

“A wonderful experience. I’ve met people from so many different places and really broadened my yoga practice in such a beautiful setting. The writing practice was an incredible addition and really took the idea of introspection and opening the self to another level.”

“It was great! I got what I came for and more!”

 “I learned a lot about myself, my body, my limitations and strengths.”
