The Slavic dawn goddess Zora ("Light") lives in Buyan, a legendary paradisaical island east of the sunrise. She is the daughter of Dazbog, the god of the sun. Her main responsibility is to open the gates of her father's palace in the morning, to let him create dawn and travel through the skies, then to close the gates after him at dusk.

Zora is one goddess with three aspects or instead is three separate goddesses. In her dawn aspect, she is called the Morning Star (Zorya Utrennyaya), and she is a lusty maiden, full of energy. In her dusk aspect, the Evening Star (Zorya Vechernyaya), she is more sedate but still seductive. Some tales include her third aspect in which she has no other name, referred to as simply Midnight (Zorya Polunochnaya), a shadowy indistinct figure that rules over the darkest part of the night.

 TROGIR, CROATIA - Our departure and arrival town

Gorgeous Trogir (called Trau by the Venetians) is set within medieval walls on a tiny island, linked by bridges to both the mainland and to the far larger Čiovo Island. On summer nights everyone gravitates to the wide seaside promenade lined with bars, cafes and yachts, leaving the knotted, mazelike marble streets gleaming mysteriously under old-fashioned streetlights.

The old town has retained many intact and beautiful buildings from its age of glory between the 13th and 15th centuries. In 1997 its profuse collection of Romanesque and Renaissance buildings earned it World Heritage status.

We will begin our ZORA Retreat in Trogir with a Celebration Lunch on Saturday 8th of June. Then we’ll set sail afterwards from Trogir Marina.

THE yachts - BAVARIA CRUISER 51

The BAVARIA Cruiser 51 is an exceptional cruising yacht. It succeeds in seducing sailing enthusiasts with five cabins and three bathrooms. This yacht combines exceptional performance and pure comfort.

Bring your mother, your daughter, your sister or a dear friend to share your cabin with. Each yacht will be skippered by a man that will sleep up on deck under the stars. Our experience of these skippers has been of exceptional service. We will be a fleet of 2 BAVARIA yachts with 8 women and 2 team and one smaller yacht with four women and two team on board. Book a cabin for 2 or a whole yacht for 8 friends. Women book in pairs. (If you are very keen to join us and cannot find a friend to join you, there is the possibility of being paired with another woman to share a cabin - just ask us.)

ACTIVITIES

Each day we’ll be sailing between islands with approximately 3-4 hours of sailing. Once we arrive at our daily destination, women will be offered beautiful experiences : Kundalini yoga classes, shamanic drum journeys, sacred smudge stick making workshops, crystal essence workshops, sound healing and more. Everything on offer is optional. Women have the choice to do what they would like to with their days and nights. We’ll be eating breakfast on board, we’ll have one main meal at a restaurant each day (all included) and the other main meal will be prepared on board by the women on your yacht. These shared meal moments on board are some of the most beautiful of the trip!

Beyond this lovely treat, supplementary sessions will be available with tarot, Pythagorean numerology and more.
