​

Step into a world where time slows, and the magic of the present moment comes alive.


Nestled amidst the majestic mountains of Albania at Bote Farms, Rooted Presence is an
invitation to awaken to the sacred beauty in all things and embrace the joy of simply being.


Surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature, warm sunlight, and breathtaking vistas, you’ll be guided through long, soulful yoga practices, nature excursions and insightful workshops/circles. Together, these experiences will help you connect deeply with yourself
and the world around you.


This retreat is a call to step away from unconscious patterns that leave life feeling rushed or disconnected. Instead, be reminded of your true nature in the quiet stillness of the mountains and the embrace of community. Leave feeling alive, inspired, calm, and centred—grounded in the present and ready to carry its magic into your everyday life.

​

Let Rooted Presence be your guide to living fully and wholeheartedly.

The Villas

Our retreat venue features six beautifully designed villas, each a harmonious blend of comfort and nature. The striking architecture includes expansive reflective glass windows, mirroring the surrounding mountains and immersing you in the serene embrace of Mother Earth.

​

Each villa accommodates up to three guests. The downstairs area includes a cosy double bed with privacy curtains, while the upstairs loft houses two single beds or 1 double. Every villa comes with a shared lounge for relaxing, a modern bathroom, a private patio perfect for soaking in the views, and a fully equipped kitchen (though you won’t need to lift a finger for cooking—woo!). These villas provide the perfect sanctuary for rest, connection, and rejuvenation.

​

Please note, this is a women's only retreat.

After over 5 years of teaching yoga around the world to an incredible variety of unique and beautiful humans from all walks of life, I can wholeheartedly say there’s nothing I love more than bringing people together. Through our shared love of yoga and nature, we connect and celebrate the miracle of this life together. Having spent years teaching on other retreats, I’m beyond thrilled and proud to now host this retreat as my/our very own. Every detail has been infused with my deepest love and care, and it’s my hope to share this transformative, once-in-a-lifetime experience with you.

 

I’m also overjoyed to be joined by the beautiful Maria Murray (www.mariamurray.com) – an embodiment coach, circle holder and multi discipline artist. Maria will be co-teaching, supporting the retreat, and holding some truly magical sessions. We can’t wait to share this journey with you!​
