What to expect?

You’re going on a journey that will leave you forever changed!

You’ll leave with a heart full of new friendships, a spirit emboldened by excitement!

The beauty and memories of the Adriatic Sea will forever be imprinted in you!

You may leave with a new tattoo, like ahem, another retreat attendee did!

The Run Your Life Retreat is created for the woman who…

01

Can comfortably walk or hike a 5k, feel aligned to hit up a bakery for a donut and finish the day off with a coffee because that’s how she gets her namaste on.


02

Wants to do things right now and not wait for the right opportunity because you’re wise enough to know, the perfect opportunity doesn’t exist.


03

Doesn’t feel like being rushed - you like your own pace, but you’re also not afraid of a little challenge like a race in another country.


04

Wants to exchange thoughts and are excited to share dreams with other women who have something to offer.


05

Is ready to make lifelong friends and believes that the larger your circle, the larger your life.

At this retreat, we focus on living our best lives, not on speed, size, or calories.

We welcome everyone to our table, and at our table, we say, “pass the olive oil.” Here, you’ll open your heart to new connections and perspectives. You’ll hike to breathtaking views, smell the lavender along the trails, and enjoy the freedom of a vacation and retreat all in one. This is a space for you to embrace who you are and find beauty in every moment.

Why You Should Be at This Retreat

You've never been a one-size-fits-all type of woman. You create your own opportunities and run at your own pace. You look back only to see how far you’ve come, not what you’ve left behind. Whether you’re already living this way or aspiring to, this retreat is for you.

You’ve never been to Dubrovnik, Croatia or the Island of Hvar in Croatia. You want to eat tons of fish and drown your bread basket in pure olive oil. You want the olive oil and fresh cheese pumping through your veins. That’s why you should be at this retreat.

Meet Your Host

Sandra Mikulic

On January 1st, 2019, Sandra started documenting her “streak” - running or walking 5km every single day. She recently surpassed 6 years of her 5k Streak.

She’s a mother, a marathoner, and a force to be reckoned with. She also happens to be in a 250-ish pound body.

Being open and honest about her journey and her weight has helped her grow a community of 100,000+ people, and empowered her to self-publish her own running magazine titled “Run Your Life” that helps spread the word that you do not need to be in a smaller body to finish races!

Sandra’s connection to Dubrovnik goes beyond admiration—she used to live in the capital city of Croatia, Zagreb for 12 years. She would often travel to Dubrovnik and fell in love with its charm and rich history. Every corner of this town is mesmerizing.

Her intimate connection to Dubrovnik allows her to provide a truly local experience, showcasing hidden gems and the authentic charm of this enchanting place. You are in good hands with Sandra, as she guides in her mother tongue, fluent in Croatian, through a journey that intertwines personal growth with the magic of Dubrovnik.
