The retreat was held on the basis of the Wearealtay eco-camp, which is located on the picturesque bank of the Kucherla River, into which a powerful stream flows from a glacier on the top of the mountain. The name of the river translates as "something necessary for all living beings and Man". This is a place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, from stress and disturbing news.

The guests of the Jio Retreat were placed in luxurious dwellings, the shape of which was not chosen by chance. The model of the ancient Altai dwelling is chodyr aikla, and its conical design is due to the sacred meaning: it connects the earth and the sky.

The retreat program included:
— Morning swimming in a mountain river
— Introduction to Kundalini yoga and yoga practice under the guidance of Leo and Nastas — teachers with balanced male and female energies
— A varied vegetarian menu
— SPA treatments in the sauna
— Meditations, healing dances and mantras
— Picnics on mountain lakes
— Formation of new resource, supportive habits
— Horseback riding in the Altai valleys
— Hiking in the mountains
— Rafting on a mountain river

Each participant of our retreat becomes close and dear to us. He is part of our JIO family and becomes a part of it.
