ABOUT BRAC, CROATIA
If your Mediterranean fantasies feature tranquil days by sapphire waters in the shade of ancient walled towns, Croatia is the place to be. Out of Croatia's 1,244 islands, the island of Brac is especially unique. Brac, often referred to as the Pearl of the Adriatic, is the largest island in Central Dalmatia (the Croatian Coast) and one of the sunniest locations in Europe. The island is adorned with several serene villages with limestone architecture, hilltop vineyards, ancient olive groves and dramatic Adriatic landscapes of steep cliffs, crystal clear waters, and lush pine forests.
Although Brac is famous for its radiant white limestone, used to build Diocletian’s Palace in Split, the island is most well-known for Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn), named one the Top 10 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World. The beach extends like a "Golden Horn" into the Adriatic and has water framing two sides. The shape of the beach takes different forms depending on the wind.

Using a mind-body medicine approach that weaves in philosophy, spirit and encourages deep connection, safety and generates positive energy flow.
LAURA DARCY
I believe that the journey home is not a geographical location, but a trusted sense of self + moves through the world in a way that invites us to tend to the sacred nature of life. I AM a soft invitation to come home to ourselves, our bodies + our truth so we can live a life that matters most to us + tend to the human being underneath it all. I create movements + moments for us to find belonging in. I understand the power of personal story + human connection holding space for people to be seen, heard + held for who they are + choose to be. My teachings remind us to come as we are, for it all belongs + to care for one another because community = everything.
