  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our place is situated in a famous Bulgarian area - the Rose Valley, next to a small revolutionary town with a great meaning for the Bulgarian history. In this area there are lots historical monuments and museums that can be visited and if you come in the month of May, you can take part in the Rose peaking process.
  We are right next to the one of the biggest national parks in Bulgaria, surrounded by wonderful nature, eco-trail, lots of monasteries, waterfalls, peaks, lakes, hot mineral sources and an ethnographic complex.
  By visiting us, you can also get to know closer the Native American tradition and its rituals. And if you are lucky to visit us during some of our workshops and meditations , you may receive skills in cooking, yoga, hand craft, gardening and other.
