If you feel tired, uninspired and in need of an escape from your daily routine, then why not head up to Georgia -the gateway between the East and the West, a vibrant nation that bridges the gap between Asia and Europe.
The country holds a great deal of mysticism as it is full of ancient churches scattered across both city streets and countryside alike. Embarking on a meditation retreat in Georgia will get you closer to your spiritual side and you may reach a calm, peaceful emotional and mental state which you have never experienced before.
