Private Deep Healing & Wellness Retreat in Rural Bulgaria

The retreat runs for seven days and six nights, and you're given Jo's full attention for all of it. Mornings start with a 90-minute gentle vinyasa or Qigong class, then a slow breakfast. Afternoons bring a longer session—Restorative, Yin, or Yoga Nidra—plus your one-on-one healing time each day. Evenings are free, often with optional journaling or another restorative practice.

This isn't a spa week. It's a deeply personal healing retreat. During your one-on-one sessions, Jo uses medical intuition and biofeedback scanning to identify what's out of balance, then responds with Rife frequencies, energy work, Reiki, or other modalities. You can book a full Reiki Level 1 training day during your stay if you want to learn self-healing techniques. Some guests choose to explore past life regression or ancestral work.

The food is a real highlight. Chef Mark cooks mostly plant-based, anti-inflammatory meals drawing on Bulgarian and global flavors. Guests in the reviews talk about wanting to take his food home. You'll also have the local village experience—wandering out for fresh air, hearing birds instead of traffic, sleeping in a thick stone and adobe building that stays naturally cool.

Jo is a RYT500 and EYT200 certified teacher with over 30 years of practice, a decade of leading international retreats, and a background in life coaching, hypnotherapy, and nutrition education. She runs Tranquil Times Holistic Retreats and leads sessions across Bulgaria, Goa, the UK, Greece, and Ibiza. When you're not in a session, you're free to lounge by the pool, read, or join her for guided walks around the village.
