About the retreat
Welcome to our vegan retreat, in a restored old mill nestled at the foot of Sudety Mountains, Poland's second highest mountain range. This isn't just a getaway; it's an experience designed for those looking to nourish their bodies and souls. Each day, you'll indulge in delicious, plant-based meals crafted from fresh, local ingredients prepared by our creative vegan chefs.
Our raw food and raw desserts workshops will inspire you, whether you're a seasoned vegan or simply curious about a plant-based lifestyle. From morning yoga sessions, cooking workshops and demos to evening relaxation sessions, there’s something for everyone. Plus, you’ll have plenty of time to unwind and connect with nature on invigorating mountain hikes, plunges in ice-cold mountain springs or visiting nearby towns, cities or castles.
about the place
Our retreat is set within the charming walls of an old mill building, full of character and history.
Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, the mill has been lovingly restored, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. It’s set in the village of Lomnica, just 15 minutes drive from the famous mountain resort Karpacz. The place is a perfect base for mountain hiking lovers but still remains quiet and not overrun by tourists like nearby mountain towns.
The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for relaxation, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You can enjoy your morning coffee on our charming front patio or 2nd floor wooden terrace with the mountain view or spend a quiet time in the back garden. In the main building you will find a spacious common space with swings, tables and our library where you can spend time relaxing and bonding with your new retreat friends.

Here, you’ll find a magical space that invites relaxation and inspiration, making it the perfect backdrop for your retreat experience.

2/ Poland: A Newly Discovered Gem
Poland is emerging as a hidden treasure on the tourist map of Europe, featuring clean streets, stunning landscapes, and welcoming people. Nestled near Poland’s second highest mountain range, with the highest peak reaching 1,602 meters above sea level, our retreat location offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and adventure. The region is sometimes called ‘The valley of castles and palaces’. Many of them were converted into hotels but some of them were beautifully restored and are available for visiting. You can explore the surrounding areas, with their breathtaking views and rich cultural heritage, while enjoying the tranquility of a lesser-known destination.
