“It's hard to put the magic of Ashuma into words. We had a magnificent retreat in this mountain paradise. The bed was super comfortable—like sleeping with your head in the clouds. The activities room is beautiful, peaceful and very well equipped with yoga mats, bolsters, blocks. The venue was extremely easy to communicate with, they are an organisers dream.”

“Deepest gratitude to all staff at Ashuma retreat for helping us to host our first retreat in Montenegro. Each of them have made organising a retreat seem like a holiday to both participants and organisers despite flight delays coming from the UK! This was my first fully catered retreat where everything has been done by a super friendly team.”

Our Approach to Practices
We care deeply about preserving the sacred stillness of Lovćen National Park and ensuring the safety of all our guests. Ashuma is designed exclusively for classic, grounded practices: yoga, meditation, breathwork, and evidence-based psychotherapy. Please note that we strictly do not host events involving the use of any psychoactive substances, alternative healing (psychic/faith healing), or practices that could compromise mental and physical well-being. This questionnaire helps us ensure that our core values and visions align perfectly before booking.
