A Taste of Your BLISS Days in Albania
Here’s a little teaser of what your days might look like, always guided by the energy
of the group and the rhythm of the land (and a little help from the weather!).
Day 1: Arrive & Ground
Ease into holiday bliss mode with time to discover your new surroundings, connect with fellow travelers, and join a warm, opening circle of friends.
Days 2–6: The Blissful Flow
Mornings are welcomed with soothing and also fun practices through movement, connection and breath to set the tone (each morning something different!).
After a wholesome breakfast, there will be options to explore the wonders of
Albania: from ancient sites to secret beaches, gentle walks and hidden villages.
Midday brings nourishing, farm-to-table meals straight from Bote Farms’ bounty.
Then it’s your time: rest, journal under the trees, take a cool dip in the pool,
or join an optional somatic or creative session.
Afternoons are filled with gentle offerings, connection, or simply space to just be
....unless a dance feels like it's needed! We can do that too!
Dinner is included, where you are nourished (again) with fresh, locally sourced produce. Evenings spent together or retreated to your own space as the day comes to its blissful end.
Day 7: Reflect & Integrate
Our final day invites you to gather the gold of your experience through heartfelt reflection, before we close the circle and say farewell to new friends!
