I have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Rising Soul retreat. I went there to reconnect with myself, return to my yoga practice while also working 3 days per week as a digital nomad.

I honestly had a really great experience. The setting is in rural Bulgaria near the Balkan mountains. There are some really lovely views and hikes in the area so make sure you get out to see as much as you can! The yoga was very enjoyable and I found myself reconnecting to a meditation practice which I wasn’t expecting to do. The food was also really yummy!

Row and co have just started to lease out a separate building close to the main retreat where digital nomads can work from. I really enjoyed working from here in my second week! We were visited by a little bird who flew through the window and some lizards haha. This all just added to the experience for me!

Just an FYI, there were a few occasions when the internet dropped out at the main house. Row has an extra router and moves it to the other office when necessary to combat this. I did use my mobile hotspot on occasion when necessary, this was not a big deal for me at all and the team did their best to get it all sorted so I really didn’t have any major issues.

All in all, if you are looking for a rustic and mindful experience where you can reconnect with yourself fully and connect with other beautiful and like minded people, I really would recommend Rising Soul Retreat. I am looking forward to returning soon!

Just as an FYI, I paid to be a full retreat guest as I did not want to miss out on any yoga and I was able to fit the yoga classes around my work which was fantastic. I stayed in the shared fire fly twin room and I thought the rates were very reasonable.
