Zen and Zest Retreats concept is a soulful blend of body awareness, sensory ritual, and connection with nature — created by Gosia, a Polish aerialist, entrepreneur, and mixologist a global spirit and deeply rooted values.

Raised in a family of farmers in Poland, Gosia grew up close to the land, with a strong connection to nature, nourishment, and the rhythms of the seasons. Her path led her to China, where she spent a decade building her creative vision — founding four successful food & beverage brands in Shanghai and discovering her passion for movement and the aerial arts.

It was in Shanghai that Gosia began her aerial journey — training in both aerial acrobatics and aerial yoga, which became powerful tools for healing, embodiment, and self-expression. This journey continued with advanced studies in Ventura, California, New York, and Amsterdam, where she deepened her knowledge of nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and holistic movement.

At the heart of Zen and Zest is aerial yoga — a practice that invites deep release, joyful exploration, and nervous system balance. Gosia’s classes weave together strength and softness, toning and restoration, stillness and playful flow — always with a focus on body-mind connection and real-world stress relief.

But Zen and Zest is more than movement. It’s an invitation to:

Reconnect with nature — in forests, mountains, and by the sea

Nourish the body — through mindful, hands-on food and drink experiences rooted in seasonal ingredients

Slow down & soften — through breathwork, aerial massage, and intentional rest

Belong — to a space of honest connection, community, and shared presence

🌍 And this is just the beginning

With more retreats and collaborations coming across Europe in 2026 — from secluded eco-houses in the Polish mountains to sun-drenched villas on Gozo Island — Zen and Zest is your invitation to come home to yourself.

Come float, breathe, and rediscover your rhythm — one hammock at a time.
