Why I chose this place
Held by the mountains.
Earlier this year I spent time at Edenium Chalet in the High Tatras mountains of Slovakia — and I knew almost immediately that this was somewhere I wanted to share.
There is something genuinely rare about this environment. It is not simply beautiful — though it is — it is the kind of place that actively invites you to slow down. The air is clean, the pace is unhurried, and the mountains hold a quiet that is difficult to find anywhere else. It felt grounding, nourishing, and almost like being held by nature itself.
At Edenium, hosts Ivana and Michal bring an extraordinary warmth and attention to detail. From the moment you arrive, you feel welcomed, comfortable and completely at home.
The mountains, forests and stillness of the High Tatras are not a backdrop here. They are part of the medicine.

What this retreat is
Four days to finally exhale.
Over four days in the mountains, we will move gently, breathe deeply, rest fully and allow the body and mind to finally exhale.
Through somatic and restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, breathwork, guided meditation, women's health education, sound healing, a cacao ceremony, spa experience and nourishing gut-brain supportive meals — you will be gently guided from overwhelm and fatigue towards greater balance, vitality and ease.
This is not a programme packed with activity. It is a considered, intentional space where rest itself is the practice — and where the nervous system is finally given permission to settle.

Who this is for
This retreat is for you if…
- You are exhausted in a way that sleep alone is not fixing
- You feel like you're running on stress hormones and sheer willpower
- You crave slower mornings, less noise and more space to think
- You want to understand your nervous system — and actually feel the difference
- You are approaching or navigating perimenopause and want evidence-informed support
- You want to arrive home before Christmas feeling genuinely restored
No previous yoga or meditation experience is necessary. This retreat is open to all women who feel called to it.
Built around
Four pillars.
Nervous System Regulation
We focus on helping the body leave survival mode and return to safety — using breathwork, gentle movement, rest and guided downregulation practices. You will understand what is happening in your body, and you will feel the shift.
Nourishment
Food is not separate from healing — it is part of the therapy. Every meal has been designed to support energy, gut health, hormonal balance and deep nourishment. You will leave knowing exactly what your body needs to thrive.
Nature Immersion
The mountains, forests and fresh mountain air of the High Tatras become part of the healing process. Time in nature is not optional here — it is woven into every day.
Female Connection & Emotional Safety
This retreat is intentionally designed to feel emotionally safe, spacious and completely pressure-free. There is no forced sharing, no performed vulnerability. Only genuine connection at whatever depth feels right for you.
The practice
What we will explore together.
- Nervous system downregulation & somatic awareness
- Gentle yoga — restorative and yin practices
- Guided meditation & Yoga Nidra for deep rest
- Breathwork sessions, including a 2-hour workshop
- Sound Healing immersion
- Cacao ceremony — an intentional opening ritual
- Women's health education: hormones, brain health & resilience
- 2-hour spa immersion experience
- Time in nature, mindful walking & quiet reflection
- Nourishing vegan & vegetarian meals by chef Milica Fisher
- Sharing circles — always optional, never obligatory
The atmosphere
A calmer rhythm.
The Deep Rest Retreat is, by design, a calmer experience than most retreats you may have attended. We gently encourage:
- Quieter mornings with space before the day begins
- Digital detox windows — phone-free practices and meal times
- Slower rhythms throughout each day
- Presence over productivity
In place of alcohol and caffeine, we create new rituals: ceremonial cacao, herbal coffee alternatives, adaptogenic drinks and matcha. Not as restriction — but as nourishment. When the nervous system feels safe enough, it naturally chooses softness over stimulation.
This is a space to exhale. To hear yourself again. To remember what it feels like to be held — not by doing more, but by finally doing less.

The food
Cooked with care by Milica Fisher.
Food at this retreat is something genuinely special. Milica is a vegan chef with over ten years of experience, including owning her own restaurant in eastern Slovakia before relocating to the High Tatras.
Every dish is prepared from scratch using fresh, seasonal ingredients — including the bread, the cakes, the stocks. Nothing arrives from a packet. Her cooking is deeply nourishing and beautifully presented — the kind of food that makes you feel genuinely cared for.
Every meal has been chosen to support gut health, hormonal balance and nervous system recovery. You will leave with ideas for home as well as a very full heart.
Your host
Held by Julia.
Certified Health Coach (College of Naturopathic Medicine), Gut-Brain Nutrition Specialist and Registered Restorative Yoga Teacher (RYT). Julia coaches somatically — because lasting change happens in the body, not just the mind.
Julia will guide the daily somatic and restorative practice, breathwork, Yoga Nidra and sound healing — and hold the women's health education sessions across the four days.
What women say
"The week-long retreat with Julia was exactly what my mind and body needed — a true release from an otherwise hectic, all-encompassing life. From the moment it began, I felt myself unwinding in the most beautiful surroundings. I returned home feeling like a different person — more grounded, more balanced, and far more at one with myself. It was exactly the reset I didn't know I needed."
— Emily
