RisingSoul Retreat. Join Our Community Connecting Nomads & Yoga in Nature The RisingSoul Retreat is a friendly, rural, yet vibrant international community space with a flexible and diverse approach to self care and spiritual practice. Here, you'll find a mix of couples, solo travellers, volunteers, residents, guest coaches and therapists. We can provide additional accommodation for bigger parties this year in partnership with BalkanNomads, the location-independent coliving just next door. We may be in a peaceful, remote natural location, yet we value social interaction and creative inspiration - whether that's community yoga practice, events and workshops on weekends, or simply shared communal meals and walking the dogs. We also respect and encourage self practice and support you to find and develop your own self care routines by providing structure around daily practices and healthy plant based meals. Our retreat space is a wonderful balance of social space, reflective and silent zones and sharing sessions so whatever you feel you need we strive to provide. Guests and volunteers often stay with us for longer stays, sharing their skills, music and stories with retreat guests. Gifting creativity and positivity to our rustic retreat space and leaving a unique footprint in our growing community. Morning practice and community dinner are followed by Karma Yoga so guests can join in community life helping to harvest fruit and vegetables, attending to the animals or helping prepare meals. Everyone is welcome to join us and themselves at the RisingSoul Retreat.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Visiting RisingSoul Retreats was the biggest highlight of my trip. To experience an ever-evolving retreat space filled with life and beautiful souls. Everything is run to the highest standard, i felt well taken care of with any requirement.
The classes are of fantastic quality, I loved waking up to the Qigong and Tai Chi classes with Petter. Followed by a lovely yoga class from either Rowena, Alaina, or a traveling teacher. The yoga barn was heaven to practice in with anything you require to feel comfortable during your practice, its there! We went for sunrise and sunset hikes, went foraging, did meditation, had a cacao ceremony, and did poetry. In addition, we had the chance to share our own passions and skills with the other people staying; sharing songs, fire dancing and painting to name a few.
The meals were all incredibly healthy and so tasty! I looked forward to seeing what was for each meal every day made from fresh local produce. With a great mix of traditional local dishes and some more international dishes depending on the cook for the day.
The accommodation was perfect, on my first stay, I was in a bunk bed which was really comfortable with plenty of space and very relaxing. On the second stay, I was in a glamping-style tent which was a fantastic experience right by the forest, feeling fully immersed in nature every night. It's a lovely space to share with other highly conscious individuals or people wanting to reconnect. Being so close to an incredible forest is wonderful and is lit with fireflies at night.
On top of all that we had the chance to go to local towns and villages including; the town of Tryavna and the old capital Veliko Tarnovo. Lots of fantastic recommendations for activities and places to eat.
Everything was so wonderful and blissful. I can't wait to revisit next year and have the opportunity to catch up with the wonderful family spirit that is held there. Thank You so much Rowena and Petter for all the hard work and love that goes into RisingSoul Retreats!

I spent 3 weeks at RisingSoul in July, as a guest. Arrived with a classic burnout, left restored and energised. Absolutely loved my stay and plan to return regularly.
As a Bulgarian living and working in the UK, I feel incredibly grateful for RisingSoul which brings together the best of both worlds. The place is run to a high standard and with plenty of soul. Amazing team.
I felt welcome and at ease. Met friendly, interesting, and inspiring people. An ashram-style program of daily activities gave the community a nice rhythm of rest and action, social and personal time. The food and scenery are superb.
I would wholeheartedly recommend as a retreat or even just a great way to experience Bulgaria.

I stayed three months in Risingsoul and had an absolutely unforgettable time there and met some wonderful people with whom I had an amazing time with. I definitely recommend this place if you’re in the Tryavna area or passing through the Balkan Mountains between Veliko Tarnovo and Plovdiv. Or if you just want to spend time in a lovely little community of people from different countries in a peaceful environment. I will definitely come back next summer in Bulgaria! :-)

I visited Rising Soul for the Forest awaking Retreat in May. I can honestly say, It was just Fabulous! Every work shop, yoga lesson, forest walk, meditation class.. the list is endless, was just incredible.
From the start to finish, the hosting was personal and welcoming- Brilliant Ro! Everyone involved, whether they were a Volunteer, or Guest were all part of a unique team that created so much Love! The bonds that are built here, are created so quickly but really do take a piece of your heart.
Everything we did/ practiced together was amazing and I can't thank you enough for the time I had here.
There was only one negative.... A week was not long enough for me! I will be back.
Thank you again everyone.

I stayed for 4 weeks and had an amazing time. Where to begin… the space is just magical, the people warm and welcoming, the food is beautiful and the yoga & meditation schedule brilliant. If you are looking for an unpretentious, open, accepting and generous community, I can’t think of a better place to go than Rising Soul.
