I started my 2 month travel in Croatia with a 2 weeks stay at Suncroket Body and Soul Retreat. My whole travel in wonderful Croatia was amazing, but I must admit that the 2 weeks at Suncroket by far were the best. The house and the surruondings are really beautiful and cozy - and I felt at home and very welcome the minute I sat foot there. The food is simpel, but very tasty and healthy. And also the the trips the owners take you on are very good and interesting without being too much.

But the best part of the stay was defintely the daily yoga twice a day (morning and evening) and the lifte-path awakening workshop I followed for the 2 weeks. I didn't really come for the yoga and I hadn't done very much before I came. But it was no problem. Evening is a very good teacher and I enjoyed it very much - and it also made me start practice yoga when I got back home from my trip. What I came for was the life-path awakening workshop. And it was even better than I had hoped for. I wanted to work with myself - find out how to spend my life, what to do - and how to be able to make these decisions. And I did - in a very nice way. In some ways it's like I became a whole new person. Much more aware of how to enjoy and really live my life. So it was truely a great experience - in very safe and warm surroundings.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone who like to spend time on practicing very good yoga and get a bette sense of how to improve life quality and get the most out of life.

I really look forward to come back myself.

Wonderful people, great ambiance, delicious organic healthy food, it is a haven to go relax and learn a great deal with the various yoga approaches offered. Really!!! The tools available , the professional and highly qualify owner operator, the exotic excursions, the freedom and flexibility of the program are a great combo to be in touch with yourself and understand how to make decisions and changes in your life to gain a better sense of the self.
All in a hollistic approach.
I want to go back!

After weeks of searching for a unique global travel and yoga experience, I decided to take a chance on Suncokret. It remains one of my best travel experiences to date. Retreats take on many forms and this one is truly unique. A week at Suncokret is a week of intimacy, time, space, beauty, reflection, yoga, outdoor dining, local sightseeing, and personal development.

If you're looking for a mega-conference retreat, then this is not the retreat for you. This retreat is organic in design and puts the responsibility on you to discover what it is you are seeking. Having said that, the care and attention provided by Evening and Stipe over the course of the week are more than enough to enable you to have a really great experience.

You will stay in a lovely and simple stone cottage. Most meals are prepared there by Stipe and you will enjoy delicious, healthy food while eating outdoors. Evening will consult with you at the beginning of the week and allow you to choose whatever modalities you would like to explore with her over the course of the week. In my case, I chose a rune reading, chakra balancing session, and energetic healing. Additionally, Evening will lead a full 90-120 minute yoga class each day, some at the cottage, and some in beautiful outdoor settings by the sea. Most days include a brief sightseeing tour with tour guidance by Evening and/or Stipe. Most afternoons are left free for guests to explore on their own. Two or three times, you might visit a local cafe or ice cream shop together. How perfect is that! I spent many days swimming in the sensuous Adriatic sea, riding a motor scooter around the island, visiting beautiful villages, and enjoying delightful cafes. And always, we came together at dinner to discuss the day and whatever was going on in our hearts. This attention and space is the gift that Evening and Stipe so beautifully bring to their guests.

I still talk about this trip and hope good fortune will allow me to make a return visit in the next year or two.

This is what I wrote in the guestbook after my 3-weeks stay at Suncokret which says it all:

"This wasn't just a holiday for me, it was a life-experience which will influence me for the rest of my days. I feel sad I have to leave, but I know I'm walking toward a new beginning and in the direction to my ultimate goal of self-fulfillment. Thanks for all your inspiration, for talking and listening, for your understanding and empathy, for all the good moments we spent together, but also for the most difficult ones, because they taught me the most and gave me the opportunities to think outside my box. Thanks for the laughter and the crying. Thanks for having taught me yoga, Reiki, and so many other things that will be my tools and guidance in my future. Thanks for your hospitality and showing me so many wonderful places on this heavenly, "taking my breath away" island. Thanks for encouraging me to reach for the top of the world, believing in my own strength and power! "Just 2 words, divine and heaven! Thanks to both of you for being you. I surely do hope I will come back once, or better, I promise myself to return whenever I need a safe, secure, inspiring place to find myself to be and feel me. Big hug and kisses, Namaste!"
