escape to empowerment
Each year, the "School of Disobedience" hosts themed retreats tailored for women. Nestled just a five-minute stroll away from Hungary's Lake Balaton, far removed from the urban hustle and bustle, participants escape the daily stresses, pressures, and hyper-connectivity of city life. Over the course of four days, four women reside in a simple traditional Hungarian summer house, where modern distractions like Wi-Fi are intentionally absent. Here, amidst a serene garden setting, they immerse themselves in activities that celebrate the body through dance, performance, and self-care, explore identity through creative writing and self-awareness exercises, and foster community bonds through rituals, ceremonies, and healing practices.
