MotionAndOcean - Pachamama Farm Retreat — Motion & Ocean Retreat

Motion & Ocean Retreat Flow with the Waves Aug 2–8, 2025 · 7 Days · From €695 per person The Stay There is a language your body already speaks. This retreat is the week you finally let it. The Motion & Ocean Retreat is built around one powerful belief: that movement is medicine, and that when you let rhythm guide you — through wild landscapes, across open water, and in community with others — something shifts. Something unlocks. This is not a dance workshop you sign up for. It's a week-long immersion in self-expression, freedom, and the kind of joy that comes from inhabiting your body fully, without apology or performance. Set on Pachamama Farm's eco-land above Kotor Bay — a century-old stone house, a hectare of forest and garden, and an ancient landscape where ruins over 350 years old share the land with firefly evenings and campfire ceremonies — the week weaves daily movement practice with Montenegro's extraordinary natural world. Mornings begin with conscious movement or yoga on the outdoor deck. Days flow between dance workshops, excursions to secret beaches where you can move freely by the waves, SUP boarding and kayaking on the crystal-clear Adriatic, and guided hikes through untouched forest trails. Evenings gather the group back together for ecstatic dance, music jams, fire ceremonies in the ancient stone gumno, and the kind of conversations that only happen when people feel genuinely free. No experience required. No performance expected. You come as you are; the rhythm takes it from there. How It Works 1. Confirm availability first Spaces are limited and the August retreat fills quickly. Contact the team before booking to confirm your preferred dates and accommodation type. 2. Reserve with a deposit A 50% deposit secures your place. The remaining 50% is due 30 days before arrival. Extras (massage, etc.) are settled 5 days before check-in. 3. Choose your accommodation Five accommodation types available — from a private stone house room to a forest glamping tent. All prices are per person, single occupancy. 4. Getting there Fly into Tivat Airport (12 km). Dubrovnik (62 km) and Podgorica (84 km) airports are also viable. Buses run to Tivat, Kotor, or Budva; local taxi contacts provided after booking. The farm is reached via a small dirt road at the end of the village of Ukropci — the outside world dissolves the moment you leave the main road. 5. Check-in / Check-out Check-in from 14:00.
