    Description

    We are a small, heart-centered community based in Osijek, Croatia, dedicated to exploring and living a holistic, conscious, and connected way of life. While our home base is in eastern Croatia, our projects and gatherings take place throughout the country and sometimes beyond.

    Our work is rooted in a holistic perspective — seeing everything as interconnected. This approach is reflected in how we organize events, collaborate, and create spaces for personal and collective growth.

    We host a variety of events such as workshops, community gatherings, cultural and creative programs, and learning experiences for people of all ages. These events aim to nurture authenticity, creativity, and mutual support. We welcome both local and international participants, creating a vibrant and diverse environment.

    You can learn more about the association, its activities, and the opportunities it offers by visiting the Association’s social media pages.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    As a volunteer, you’ll be invited to take part in our daily rhythm — helping out with event preparations, sharing meals, joining evening circles around the fire, and participating in creative or spiritual workshops. It’s a warm, community-based experience where stories, songs, and laughter are shared freely.

    You’ll also have the chance to contribute to documenting the experience, such as creating authentic content for social media that reflects the atmosphere and values of the gatherings.

    We value cultural exchange and believe that every person brings a unique perspective. Our hope is that this experience offers mutual inspiration, connection, and lasting friendships.

    This Gathering is a five-day journey of transformation guided by the elements of nature: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. Each day focuses on embodying one element, not just symbolically, but through movement, ritual, creativity, and reflection.

    It’s a personal and collective exploration that invites grounding, emotional flow, creative expression, honest communication, and deep connection to spirit. We come together to co-create a meaningful, soulful experience rooted in ancient wisdom and shared humanity.

    📍When & where?
    From August 25th to 31st, 2025, in the serene natural surroundings of Mokri Potok, Slovenia.

    📽 OPEN CALL FOR VIDEOGRAPHERS 📽

    We’re looking for 2 videographers – ideally one who speaks Croatian and one who speaks English.

    -One to film a short documentary about the Gathering.

    -One to film reels for social media throughout the event.

    We are seeking a kind and conscious soul to experience the Gathering through the lens of a camera – to witness and capture sacred, authentic, and transformative moments of our gathering.



    During those seven days, we will dive into the elements, music, laughter, learning, and deep human connection. We want you to be part of it – not just as a videographer, but as a member of our community.

    🎥 We are looking for someone who:
    – has experience with filming and editing (after movie, short reels),
    – can see the world through the heart,
    – is open to sharing their skills and learning through lived experience,
    – is available for the full duration of the gathering.

    💚 In return, we offer:
    – full community support,
    – three plant-based meals a day,
    – opportunities for connection and personal growth,
    – a memorable experience surrounded by people who are here to grow together.

    If you can picture yourself in this setting, and feel the call to capture its magic on video – we want to hear from you!

    🎯 Please send us:
    – a short motivational letter,
    – your portfolio (examples of previous work),
    – and a few basic details about yourself to:
    📩 ask us for our email

    In the heart of our Gathering, we enter a five-day cycle of transformation — a spiral dance with the elements that shape both our inner and outer worlds.
    Each of the main 5 days, we are invited to meet one of the five great forces of life: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether.
    Not merely as symbols, but as living presences that we feel, embody, and recognize how they live within ourselves.

    This journey is both personal and collective — a deep dive into the essence of who we are and how we exist together. As we move through the elements, we awaken their gifts within us: grounding, emotional wisdom, creative power, clear communication, and spiritual connection. We become the elements — not only in practice and ritual, but in the way we live, relate, and co-create.

    Together, we explore how these elemental forces can inspire our ways of being in community, in creativity, and in reverence for the world around us. This is a return to the ancient ways of knowing, a celebration of what connects us all, and a blueprint for a more harmonious, soulful way of life.

    We’ll get back to you soon with more information.
    We look forward to meeting you! 🌿

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The gathering takes place in Mokri Potok, a peaceful and remote natural area surrounded by forested hills, clean air, and flowing springs. It’s an ideal place to reconnect with nature, slow down, and enjoy simple living.

    During your free time, you can take walks through the woods, swim in nearby streams, rest in hammocks, or simply enjoy the silence and beauty of the natural surroundings. There is no city noise, just birds, wind, and the occasional crackle of a campfire.

    As the area is quite remote, there are limited options for public transportation. However, we can assist with travel coordination to and from the site when needed. Some participants organize carpooling from cities like Zagreb or Karlovac.

    If this way of living and connecting in nature resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you. Tell us what inspires you to join this experience, and what you'd like to share or discover during your time with us.

    We’ll be in touch soon with more details.
    Looking forward to co-creating this journey with you! 🌿
