Croatia 2022
Now we know what you’re thinking - “A PRIVATE YACHT?!” Yes, yes indeed. We had our very own boat friends, and our lovely attendees had no problem stating so everywhere they went on this week long excursion. Because when in life can you say with confidence “I have a yacht”? We all milked it for all it was worth!
Kami and Lynn made the long jump from Seattle to Croatia two days early to prepare for the festivities ahead of them. Along the way they discovered some really scary bell tower stairs, some creepy baby’s in epic old icons, and the best truffle pesto risotto on the planet. Ready and raring to go they welcomed the group of 11 adventurous women who said “HELL YES!”. All showing up a lot tired, a little achy, and most with their luggage, we hopped onto OUR yacht and set off… after a quick run into Split for some exploration and food. It was our last night in Split, after all.
From Split, to Hvar, Bisevo Island, Korcula, Miljet, Ston and lastly Dubrovnik, we did all the yoga, meditations, swimming, food and adventures we could fit into our schedules. Beginning each day with meditation and yoga to center and ground ourselves for the day ahead, we would then hop into the Adriatic sea for a quick swim to recharge. Alright we thought, ready for the day ahead!
We experienced city tours that brought us to the most scenic and beautiful views you’ve ever seen. Riding bikes in a foreign country was never so fun as doing so in a national park with a mini boat ride to an old Monastery. Ever heard of the “Great Wall of China in Europe”? Us either. But we climbed it all the way to the oyster tasting on the other side. After dinners together, and sometimes in separate groups, we’d go and find places to dance, drink and enjoy each other’s company until sleep took us back to the boat. Because it was our last night in Hvar, after all.
Croatia provided us with so much great food, the best beer (Tamaslav; just try it), and better wine than you can find anywhere in the world (sorry not sorry Italy). But most of all it brought us together to share in all this love, laughter and yoga. Because it was our last night in Dubrovnik, after all.
Through these experiences, and some brave people saying YES, we created a whole new little community within our bigger Spark community. There is something powerful that happens on the other side of YES. Why not give it a try and join us on the next retreat? You won’t want to miss it. It could be your last night in your DREAM destination!
