The ‘Return to Yourself’ Program is a transformative initiative based in Istria, Croatia, born from a personal journey of reconnection and healing. This experience, sparked by my return to my roots 2.5 years ago, allowed me to align with my values and heritage. I recognized that many people struggle to integrate their identities in today’s chaotic world, motivating me to share my insights.

Upon returning to Fazana, I envisioned a healing space where individuals from diverse backgrounds could reconnect with themselves and each other. This journey was not just nostalgic; it was a rediscovery of my inner child and a quest for belonging. I developed the idea of circles of reconnection, understanding that peeling away life’s layers is essential for uncovering our authentic selves.

Creating this program involved challenges that required courage and trust in the process. I realized that traditional psychotherapy alone wouldn’t foster the deep connections I sought. Instead, I incorporated body work and breath techniques, essential for addressing emotions trapped in our physical selves.

I designed thematic sessions that guide participants from surface experiences to deeper emotional layers. Collaborating with colleagues in breathwork and yoga, we developed a holistic approach that encourages emotional exploration alongside physical movement.

The ‘Return to Yourself’ Program is more than a set of sessions; it’s a collective journey toward self-acceptance and wholeness. Participants share their stories, fostering a supportive community that celebrates individual journeys. By addressing emotional wounds and nurturing self-compassion, the program empowers individuals to reclaim their narratives and embrace their authentic selves.

Ultimately, the ‘Return to Yourself’ Program is a beacon of hope, inviting individuals to embark on paths of self-discovery and reconnection. It celebrates the human spirit and the power of community, creating a ripple effect of healing that extends beyond our gatherings.
