(Friday to Sunday)

Registration form: https://forms.gle/kv6oxrtYCGxceG8A8

Delavnica bo v angleščini in hrvaščini, možen pa bo tudi prevod v slovenščino.

A year after the LifeNet Creative Gathering in Istria we are organizing a creative weekend to explore some chosen places along the eastern coast of Istria. Invited are those who would like to dive deeper into some of the places we visited and worked with in 2025, as well as for those who did not have the opportunity to take part in the 2025 journey through Istria.


The weekend workshop will be led by Marko Pogačnik and Maša Kovač and organized by local association Zelenput.

The weekend workshop is dedicated to:

  1. Perceiving and touching creatively some of the key places in the eastern part of Istria so that participants can gain new insights into the secrets of one’s own inner world in relationship to the multidimensional landscape. There will be emphasis on exchanging experiences in the sense of interactive learning.
  2. Performing some rituals and Earth healing work so that these places can be grounded in the present moment as Gaia begins her evolutionary quantum leap — a process also related to profound changes within the human being.

About Istria

Istria is a very special “continent”.
It is connected with the Earth as a whole in ways that transcend rational logic.


Istria is a triangle positioned between the Slavic world in the east and Romanic in the west. It can perfectly balance the
mind of the West with the love quality of the East. From the geomantic point of view Istria is one of the places on Earth
capable of supporting the creative processes of Gaia that make life to appear upon the Earth. In the form of the natural Limes Canal in the west and Raša Canal in the east, the country connects the inner life of the Earth with the miracle of embodied life. Istria is one of the places where it is possible to re-connect to the stream of life after it has changed its flow and vibration in this epoch of planetary transformation.

From more distant European countries and other continents, the most likely option will be Venice. From there, there are several options: by plane to Pula – there are several lines a day, or by bus to Rijeka, and then by bus from Rijeka to Labin.
Rabac can be reached from Labin by bus or by taxi.
