Welcome to Joyful Journeys Wellness Retreats. We invite you to spend 3 nights with us on the Black Sea coast of western Georgia on March 27th - 30th as we prepare for a rejuvenating and insightful retreat that will help you begin the new year by getting to know yourself in a deeper and more meaningful way.
Over the course of three days, you will enjoy wholesome vegetarian meals, practice yoga with a loving teacher, and be a part of positive psychology workshops, beginner-friendly meditation, and mindfulness art practice that will challenge you in amazing new ways! We are teachers, world travelers, psychology life coaches, and the owners of Joyful Journeys Retreats. We have trained in Rishikesh, Thailand, and the United States in methods of positive psychology, breathwork, and meditation. We have led classes on positive psychology and shadow work, and look forward to sharing our integrative practice with you.
You don't need to be an expert at any of these things. In fact, it's best if you come with an open mind and curiosity. We are all students of life. We are passionate about sharing our knowledge in an inclusive and friendly way. All are welcome.
We all need to step away from the normal patterns of everyday life from time to time. We see this as a chance to explore the deeper beauty of the world around us, and the wonders of our body and mind. Our retreat is a fully integrative experience that offers you the chance to learn positive psychology principles, mindful and meditative art techniques, gentle yoga and meditation, and connect with others in a meaningful, holistic way. Here you will make friends and gain new insight.
We are super excited to be teaming up with Shromantic Garden in Guria (near Batumi) for our upcoming retreat. Shromantic Garden is a beautiful guesthouse located in nature, close to the black sea. Each room is themed. There are plenty of spaces for yoga, relaxation, communal gatherings, and our evening Native American Flute music. As stated on the website: "Each room is thoughtfully designed with traditional shushabandi terraces, private bathrooms, forest or sunset views, and modern comforts. We cook and serve fresh vegetarian meals every day, and the garden offers quiet spaces for reading, daydreaming, or simply doing nothing at all."

The Location
Our retreat is located in Shroma, Georgia. The nearest large city (with a train station) is Ureki. From there, you can arrange a taxi to the guesthouse. Alternatively, we will provide transportation options to/from Batumi for those who are interested. This will be shared depending on the number of people. If you are coming from Tbilisi, you can take a Marshrutka, bus, or train to Batumi, and the journey is about 6 hours (depending on traffic/weather conditions).
Our retreats are designed to help you rest, recharge, and rejuvenate, giving you the opportunity to surrender to the present moment.
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” — Carl Jung.
Throughout each day, you will come away from the cares of the world, open your mind, become comfortable in silence, feel the wonder of your body, and gain a deeper appreciation for life.
