HUGGED by the SEA

A yin-oriented immersion into yourself - through gentle apnea, breathwork, forest therapy, and sound therapy

May 29 - June 1, 2025 Krk Island, Croatia

Journey within, journey to yourself

Pillars of our Immersion:

  • The Sea, with Tjasa

    You will be guided through a very beginner-friendly Freediving experience to soften and safely engage with the sea. Instead of focusing solely on technique and depth, you will be supported to surrender to the dialogue with your inner waters through breathwork and intentional breath-holding.

    The immersion is not meant as a classic freediving course but a gentle exploration of our inner waters.

  • The Forest, with Barbara

    Forest therapy, inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, fosters well-being and a deeper connection with nature. The gentle two to three hour guided experience involves sensory activities to calm your mind and deepen your relationship with nature and yourself. It offers a natural and simple yet powerful way to achieve balance of body, mind, and spirit.

  • The Sound, with Katja

    The transformative power of sound therapy blends with therapeutic insights, relaxation and stress relief. Sound therapy stimulates your biochemical-electromagnetic energy system, tunes and clarifies your inner life flow. Through frequencies, it facilitates a renewed fountain of creativity with the assistance of water, light, and sound.

What do we offer?

  • 4 days immersion through breathwork, apnea, gentle yoga, forest, and sound therapy

  • 3 nights in a beautiful OSMA Resort Villa with double bedrooms and half-board with local ingredients

  • Feeling You: guided bodywork (Breathwork, Forest therapy, sound healing & more)

  • Time to acclimate yourself on the land, around, and in the water

    *Immersion will be held in English (Slovene and German translations are possible)

    **The immersion is not meant as a classic freediving course but a gentle exploration of our inner waters

Meet the Team

  • Tjasa Ucakar

    Freediving instructor, integral breathing teacher, sociologist.

    My journey into the depths of water began after my 30s, sparked by a stroke of "chance" that led me to the world of freediving. From conquering my own fears to guiding others, I discovered a newfound curiosity in the underwater realm. Now, I share this gentle and transformative experience with others, as water reflects what lies within us.

  • Barbara Favento

    Forest Therapy Guide, EcoNIDRA Teacher, creative soul.

    Japan has played a significant role in my life. After choosing Austria as my new home 15 years ago, my connection to Japan gradually lost its intensity. That is until 2018, when the word "Shinrin Yoku" alias Forest Bathing deeply touched me. The practice revived long-forgotten memories of nature experiences, my longing for a connection with nature. For me, mindful forest visits have become the path home to myself and to my own body.

  • Katja Osterc

    Katja is an academic musician, certified sound practitioner, and expert in sound pedagogy.

    With a degree from the Academy of Music in Ljubljana and extensive training from the Peter Hess Institute (PHI), she specializes in sound healing and massage. Passionate about teaching and spreading therapeutic sound practices, Katja offers gong baths, energisations, and sound therapies.
