About Us
THE NAME
Evolving with the Earth. Still us – now GEA.
What began as FitCamp Montenegro – a place devoted to mindful living, conscious movement, and connection with nature – has now evolved into GEA Retreat.
The transformation reflects our growth and the deepening of our purpose.
GEA, the ancient name for Mother Earth, beautifully represents everything we stand for – harmony with nature, authentic living, and the nurturing energy that grounds and inspires us all.
Our logo still carries the same symbol, a reminder that while our name has changed, our essence remains unchanged: a sanctuary where body, mind, and nature meet in balance.
Welcome to GEA Retreat – the new chapter of our story, rooted in the same mindful soil. 🌿
IDEA
Self-sustainability is our goal!
We aspire to achieve self-sustainability and live in harmony with nature. As our centre evolves, we aim to transition to solar and wind energy for electricity and are already harnessing rainfall to meet our water needs.
Embracing a zero-waste approach, we compost to produce organic fertiliser, cultivating fruits and vegetables available to our guests in a motivational bio-gardening way. Additionally, we created a mini recycling yard not only for ourselves but for our local community, too!
Nature-healing is one of the ultimate needs of a contemporary lifestyle. Our mission is to guide you in forging a harmonious connection with nature, enabling you to live the best life possible!
MISSION
In the modern world, the relentlessly busy lifestyle takes a toll, subjecting people to high-stress levels and causing them to lose sight of essential aspects of life, such as health and mental well-being.
At GEA, we believe travel is more than escape – it’s a return. Here, you can disconnect to reconnect, guided by the healing rhythm of nature itself. Through the wisdom of naturopathy and mindful living, we help you restore balance, recharge your energy, and remember what it means to truly feel alive.
Our programs are carefully tailored to help you enjoy the moment while practising JOMO (the joy of missing out). With our instructors and coaches, you can reach your inner self and enjoy all life’s joys. Let us guide you through this path during the vacation to remember!
