The village is famous for its traditional arts\, healing energy\, and beautiful scenery providing a perfect hideaway for those craving privacy and tranquility. It is an ideal place for dance\, creativity\, healing\, nurturing\, and relaxation. The village is also famous for its natural hot spring waters\, olives\, and sea coast. They say it has the cleanest coast in the Marmara Sea. In the village there are horses\, cats\, dogs\, and other friendly local animals. Everyone is welcome to ride the horses if they wish\, or play with animals. The farm applies natural horsemanship principals and has natural ponds filled with natural cold spring water\, which can be very refreshing during warm days. Our retreat area has an amazing panoramic sea view and the beach is only a 15 minute walk away! \nAccommodations\nThe retreat center is a shared facility with one room with 3 beds\, toilet\, and shower\, 6 small rooms of 2 beds\, and one room for a couple or for those who wish more authenticity. There will also be camping ground available for people who wish to experience more nature. Hotels are also available for those who want private accommodation. Please note that the retreat program will NOT cover your private hotel cost. We can help you find a hotel but you are responsible with making the arrangements and payment yourself. Retreat fees only cover accommodation at the shared retreat center. \nMeals\nThe retreat includes 3 healthy meals (breakfast\, lunch\, and dinner) including vegan and non-vegan traditional tastes. Snacks\, water\, coffee\, and tea is available throughout the day. Please note that attendees are expected to help with washing their own dishes after each meal. We do not want to waste any plastic or paper in this village. Helping with food preparation would also be greatly appreciated but not expected. \nArrivals and Departures\nPlease arrive no later than 2 pm on Wednesday\, August 3.
