Anna is a multifaceted professional from Poland, blending her artistic talents with a deep commitment to personal well-being and animal care.

In 2011, Anna earned her Master's degree in Art from the University of the Arts Poznań, a prestigious institution known for nurturing creative talent. Her studies focused on photography, allowing her to develop a keen eye for visual storytelling.

Before relocating to Germany, Anna spent nearly a decade in London working as a dog behaviourist. In this role, she specialised in understanding canine psychology, helping dog owners cultivating improved relationships with their furry companions. This experience highlights her versatility and empathy across different fields.

Anna expanded her expertise by becoming a certified Tantra For Women teacher, focusing on women's spiritual practices. She completed her training at the International Esoteric Yoga School in Denmark, an institution dedicated to traditional Tantra Yoga. This training has equipped her to guide women on their journeys toward physical and spiritual well-being.

Anna's diverse background reflects her commitment to nurturing connections—whether through the lens of her camera, her work with animals, or her guidance in holistic wellness practices.


Our mission: Our journey began at a yoga ashram in Berlin, where we met and quickly discovered our shared vision: to create a retreat space dedicated to healing and transformation through yoga, meditation and art. In early 2023, we took the first step toward this dream by relocating to a historic farmhouse nestled in nature at an elevation of approximately 1,000 meters,
beside the serene Ravenna stream. This classic Black Forest wooden home, built in 1800, is rich in history and character, though it requires significant renovation.

We are committed to transforming this space into a sacred and safe sanctuary for holistic living. Our vision is to host workshops, retreats, and cultivate a vibrant community where individuals unite to support, inspire, and elevate each other on their personal journeys.

Join us as we breathe new life into this historic home, creating a sanctuary for growth, connection, and well-being.
