SLOVENIA
Where the beauty, soul and taste meet!
Lying right in the heart of Europe, Slovenia is the only country in the world with the word “LOVE” in its name. Unbounded beauty, intact nature picturesque diversity and vigorous spirit best reflect this mysterious piece on earth.
Few countries pack so much variety into such a small geographical area as Slovenia. Thereof there is no surprise that due to its microclimate and strategic geographical position, winemaking has existed in this area for centuries.
Since in our story body and soul are strongly intertwined, we are extending this sensual experience with a holist gourmet adventure that can impress even the most demanding taste buds. In the primal and raw Slovenian environment, local wine growers and producers of pristine ingredients take the philosophy of sustainable farming in order to preserve the ecosystem of the environment and culture. Just as we like to care for our bodies.
PTUJ
Scenically located on the banks of the Drava river, Ptuj is the oldest town in Slovenia furnished with a wealth of monuments that testify to a history spanning two millennia.
Alongside with its charming medieval streets, hospitable meeting spots overlooking the river, Ptuj boasts with Minorite and Dominican Monastaries, enchanting castle, one of the most famous Slovenian festivals “Kurentovanje” and the oldest Slovenian wine cellar “Ptujska klet” that holds the oldest vintage in Slovenia: “Zlata trta” (“Golden vine”).

ABOUT MOVEFULLNESS
RETREATS & EVENTS
A concept by Andrew Greenwood and friends
Appreciate that quality of life is in the present moment.
A note by Andrew Greenwood,
I spent 4 year living in and around this wonderful area of Slovenia. I have chosen this specific place as it has a magic vibe. The people are special, the food in great and the wines are undiscovered treasures. The whole atmosphere will encompass an idea of revitalization of all the senses.
I Andrew invite you to join us “it is a journey to who and where we are now! You may have been born in Pennsylvania or Buenos Aires or on Cyprus or in Cambridge, but who you are is more dependent upon the things you have gone through and experienced along the way to be here today.”
Together we will continue this personal journey. This movement experience is about personal dialogue. Feel your body, use your body, breathe, apply your mind to this, explore your environment, be creative, feel, use your eyes, bring some spirituality to this – be grateful. Be egotistical, get what you can out of it, dance! This pathway is about activating your senses, your personal time and pathway .
This move-fullness program is about: movement, life, community and roots. For this journey, we must trust ourselves to go somewhere and move ourselves.
To achieve personal improvement, I don’t think one has to sacrifice. Passion for life, passion for the good things in life, begin from within. It is connected to personal gain, which is for ourselves, it aims to please number one You and then inevitably your surrounding!
Respectfully yours,
Andrew Greenwood
