PoToK — SPA & Retreat Center

Space:

The practice hall is a 90 m² panoramic room made entirely of natural wood, which gives it a special warmth and the lively aroma of the forest.

The hall overlooks the centuries-old oak trees that surround the space and create a natural atmosphere of privacy and peace. In the warm season, the panoramic windows open fully and the boundary between the room and nature seems to disappear.

Equipment:

The hall is equipped with everything necessary for yoga and meditation practices, seminars and retreats:

• 16 soft mats for sitting and lying down practice;
• 20 high quality yoga mats;
• blocks, belts, pillows and plaids;
• capacity - up to 20 participants for lying down practices and up to 30 for workshops.

Light and atmosphere:

The lighting system makes it easy to set the desired state - from dimmed light for sound healing and meditation to bright light for training programs and seminars.

In the cold season, the hall is heated, and a live fire fills the space with soft warmth and special energy. On hot days, the hall is cooled down if necessary, although due to natural ventilation and location this is rarely required.

Additional areas:

The lobby has a tea ceremony area available 24 hours a day - a cozy place for leisurely conversations and recovery from practices.

There is a terrace system and lounge areas around the hall that allow participants to move freely, relax and enjoy nature between sessions.

Atmosphere:

It is a space where wood, light and silence come together in harmony, creating an environment for deep practice, inspiration and inner transformation.

Banya & Spa - The Heart of the Retreat Center

The bath and wellness space is the heart of our retreat center, a place of deep restoration and renewal.
Here body, breath and consciousness come together to integrate the experiences of the practices, let go of tension and arrive at a state of stillness.

The bathing space is located on the bank of a mountain river, surrounded by a laurel forest and old olive trees. It is a living place of power where water, fire, wood and air meet in the natural rhythm of nature.

Structure of the bath complex:
The bathing space combines several zones, each of which creates a special state and level of immersion:

• The wood-fired bathhouse is a center of warmth, purification and ritual bathing ceremonies;
• Wood-fired bath vat - relaxing under the open sky, breathing in the aroma of herbs and forest;
• Mountain river and waterfalls for bathing and contrasting treatments;
• Ice font and contrast treatment area right in the mountain river;
• The healing herb hayloft is a place of restoration, aromatic rest and deep relaxation;
• Anti-gravity bath swing - lightness and resetting of the body after warming up;
• Terrace over the river and secret terrace for secluded ceremonies or meditation;
• The bonfire area is a space of living fire where bath rituals are completed and quiet conversations under the stars take place.

Both group programs and individual bathing treatments and practices by the center's professional parmaster are available for all retreat groups (special conditions and prices for retreat groups).
This allows participants to more deeply integrate the experience of the practices, restore energy and experience a state of inner wholeness.

Banya & Spa is not just a bath. It is a way of returning to oneself, where every element of nature becomes part of the process of purification, restoration and inner balance.

Space:

The retreat is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests on site and 8 more - in walking distance outside the center.
We offer two types of accommodation combining comfort, privacy and natural harmony: panoramic treehouses and safari lodges.

PANORAMIC TREE HOUSES
Every cabin has one:

• cozy tea area;
• a terrace among the branches overlooking the river;
• comfortable beds, towels, bathrobes, extra plaids and everything you need for your stay.

The cabins are heated in the off-season, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere on cooler days.
They do not have individual bathrooms, but are located in close proximity to shared shower and bath areas, maintaining a balance of comfort and naturalness.

SAFARI LOJI
Each safari lodge provides:

• rain shower and private bathroom;
• A kitchenette with a fridge and everything you need for light meals;
• tea corner and outdoor terrace;
• a cozy seating area inside.

All safari lodges are heated and are comfortable in all seasons, including the off-season.
Loggias vary in size and layout, but each one is filled with light, air and harmony with nature.

Atmosphere:

Panoramic tree houses - these unique tree houses are located among century-old oaks - right in the trees, in the middle of nature. The panoramic windows offer views of the mountain river and the laurel forest. At night, when everything is quiet, it seems as if the trees are breathing with you.

Safari Lodge
Spacious professional safari lodge tents combine the spirit of adventure with coziness and thoughtful comfort. Each lodge faces the mountain river and is surrounded by greenery.

It's all honest, living food, prepared with care and love to keep the body and mind in harmony.

Wellness programs

Our retreat center offers a wide range of wellness programs that are tailored to the group's request and the theme of the particular retreat.

All programs are authored and individualized and are designed to gently restore the body, nervous system and inner balance.

Bath and body practices

Our wellness programs are based on individual and group bath ceremonies and treatments by a professional paramaster.
From author's steam baths with different rhythms and temperature regimes to aroma-inhalations and steaming with the use of healing herbs collected and prepared with special attention.
Bathing practices are selected according to the participants' condition, the retreat objectives and the desired effect - purification, deep relaxation, rebooting or resource recovery.

SPA and grooming procedures

We offer a variety of spa treatments and body care programs:
wraps, scrubs, masks and holistic body treatments.
Programs to purify and renew the skin, improve tissue nutrition, gentle detoxification and overall recovery are available.
All treatments are performed using natural formulations and are customized individually or as group rituals.

Massages

A variety of massages are available as part of the wellness programs:
Relaxation massages, sports, therapeutic, lymphatic drainage and restorative practices.
Massage can be incorporated into the overall retreat program or offered as a separate individual session.

More info

A detailed list of wellness treatments with descriptions of varieties, duration and costs is available on request.
You can contact the Retreat Center team to select the optimal format and program - we will be happy to help you create a solution that best suits your objectives and the format of the event.

Sound Healing

The center's sound space is designed for deep immersion into a state of peace, restoration and inner stillness.
Sound is a vibration, and when the body, mind and breath come into resonance with it, gentle but powerful healing occurs.

We conduct group sound sessions (Sound Healing Journeys) - special sound journeys where participants are immersed in the layered sound of live instruments:

• of Tibetan singing bowls,
• of planetary gongs and bells,
• of Koshi bells and magic kalimba,
• the sounds of the sea, rain and wind,
• as well as a variety of ethnic and natural instruments that create a vibrational field that awakens an inner response.

Each session is a body-sound meditation in which sound waves gently penetrate the body, calming the nervous system, releasing tension and promoting natural energy restoration.

The sound journey can be deepened by other ceremonial practices - such as the cocoa ceremony and the rapé ceremony - that enhance the state of presence and openness of perception.

Formats:

• Group sound journeys - for a shared deep dive, meditation or to complete a retreat day;
• Individual Sound Healing sessions - personalized sound work for restoration, grounding and balance;
• Contact massage with singing bowls is a unique form of sound therapy in which the bowls are placed on the body, creating a wave action that harmonizes the physical and energetic state.

All sessions are conducted by the center's professional sound therapist, who selects instruments and frequencies according to the state of the group or individual.

Non-tourist routes

We invite you to discover places that remain off the beaten tourist paths.

Our non-tourist itineraries are an opportunity to see the real Montenegro: quiet, natural, unhurried, as the locals know it.

Itineraries are formed individually according to the retreat format, season, weather conditions and the state of the group. These are not excursions in the usual sense, but observation journeys, walks and outings, where the quality of presence, not the number of points, is important.

The program may include:

• walks on mountain trails and old roads
• Hiking along scenic routes of various difficulty levels
• access to hidden viewpoints and secluded natural locations
• visiting small villages, ancient olive groves, springs and rivers
• places of silence and natural power not mentioned in tourist guides

Itineraries on mountain trails and old roads can be accompanied by a full departure organization.

At the group's request it is possible to organize a picnic with meals tailored to the format of the retreat and individual characteristics of the participants - including observance of diet or special dietary recommendations.

The itinerary can also be supplemented with visits to local restaurants, where we introduce guests to authentic regional cuisine in a relaxed, non-touristy format.

We choose destinations that support a state of slowing down, contemplation and careful contact with nature. During these outings, space is preserved for silence, breathing, simple presence, and, if desired, for communicating and living the journey together.

Non-tourist itineraries can be part of the retreat's day program, a gentle transition between practices, or a stand-alone element of deep immersion in the space and rhythm of the region.

Rituals and Practices:

The rituals and practices at our retreat center are a space for slowing down, consciously getting in touch with yourself, and fine tuning into the group's state of being.

We offer ceremonies based on ancient traditions and culture of careful interaction with natural plants and power drinks. All practices can be included in the retreat program and combined with other formats of work - bodily, breathing, meditative.

Ceremonial cocoa

Ceremonial cacao is a specialty beverage and an ancient plant of strength that humanity has interacted with for centuries.
We use ceremonial cacao from Ecuador and Peru that has retained its natural richness and depth.
Cacao ceremonies are created as a space of familiarity with this beverage, with its gentle effect on the body and emotional state. It is a practice about warmth, openness, connecting with the senses and being mindfully present in the moment.
During the cooler seasons, the ceremony can take place in a cozy fireplace area, or during the warm season, in an outdoor fire pit space.
Cocoa Ceremony can be a stand-alone practice or can take place in conjunction with meditation, breathing, body practices, live sound or a quiet circle of community.

Tea ceremonies

The tea ceremony is the art of attention, flavor, and silence.
At Flow, we offer an extensive collection of select teas that we bring from China and customize for different formats of tea ceremonies.
Each ceremony is an opportunity to slow down, tune into subtle sensations, and feel the depth of flavor and state. The format is tailored to the task of the retreat: from meditative and contemplative to more lively, dialogical and unifying.
Tea practice can be either chamber and deep or part of a group ritual that supports the overall dynamic of the retreat.

Equipment:

The tea area is equipped with everything you need for tea ceremonies and individual tea parties:

• traditional tea sets and tableware;
• antique items from around the world, including a lamp made of antique ceramics and tea sets made of Japanese porcelain;
• 4-liter thermopot with constantly prepared water at the optimum temperature for brewing puerh, gaba and other teas that require precise thermal preparation;
• a small reading corner with a collection of books in different languages - for those seeking privacy or inspiration.

The Rape Ceremony

The Rapé ceremony is a traditional practice of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon with a ritual and sacred character. Rapé is a finely ground mixture of Mapacho, ceremonial fire ashes and other sacred plants.
Works on three levels at once:
- clears the respiratory tract,
- stops the inner dialog and brings back clarity of mind,
- connects with the Healing Spirit and opens the gateway to another dimension of consciousness.
This practice can be incorporated into a retreat program as an element of deep inner attunement, mindfulness and presence work. The ceremony is done consciously, in small groups or individually, and always remains a voluntary choice of the participant.

More info

Rituals and practices are selected based on the retreat format, group composition, and overall intent of the program. Details of possible combinations, formats and conditions of participation are available upon request when planning a retreat.

Secret terrace

A place where the sense of time disappears.
The terrace seems to float above the mountain river - between the rocks, in front of an ancient tree and a wild fig tree. It is a space of deep silence where it is natural to be silent, meditate, hold tea ceremonies or simply be in the presence of nature.

Places of peace and rest

The retreat center has created several secluded spaces for relaxation, contemplation, and restoration. It is a network of lounges and terraces, each with its own mood and rhythm, from a live fire to complete silence over the river.

A campfire spot under the old oak trees

A space of live fire and warm fellowship.
The campfire area is safely and professionally equipped for making fire at any time of the year. There are comfortable chairs and seats, allowing you to spend time comfortably by the fire - in silence, in conversation or in contemplation of the flames.

Swing

An area of joy and a return to childhood.
The swing is designed for one person or for several people at the same time. It is a space of lightness, movement and sincere joy - a place where you can allow yourself to play and spontaneity.

Network of lounge areas and terraces

On the territory of the retreat center there are several locations and separate recreation areas - lounges and terraces, organically blended into the natural landscape.
Each space is designed to slow down, restore and gently be - alone or in a warm circle.

Space:

The tea area is located right in the practice lobby and is available 24 hours a day. This space is designed for tea and cocoa ceremonies, secluded moments of silence or leisurely socializing with like-minded people.

Tea and atmosphere:

Guests have access to a rich collection of fine teas imported from China, as well as herbal collections handpicked from Montenegrin forests and national parks. The space is alive with the aromas of herbs and wood, creating a sense of peace and presence.

Equipment and details:

The tea area is equipped with everything you need for tea ceremonies and individual tea parties:

• traditional tea sets and tableware;
• antique items from around the world, including a lamp made of antique ceramics and tea sets made of Japanese porcelain;
• 4 liter thermopot with constantly prepared water at the optimum temperature for brewing capueras, gaba and other teas that require precise thermal preparation.

The area also has a small reading corner with a collection of books in different languages - for those seeking privacy or inspiration.

Atmosphere:

During the day the tea room is filled with natural light and quiet sounds of nature, and in the off-season it becomes especially cozy by the fireplace - under the soft light of an antique lamp, with a cup of aromatic tea and a view of the living flame.

It's a place where tea becomes an art of presence and every detail is filled with warmth, history and attention to the moment.
