Don’t you hate it when you go on a holiday and nothings comfortable ?

By now, all of you know that we keep the quality of our astronomy and freediving retreats at another level. However, what we feel we haven’t emphasized enough is the standard of quality we seek in anything, really.

That’s why today we will introduce you to an amazing brand that has been our supporter in the last astronomy retreat, and if the planets align in the right way, I hope they remain our partners for the future too.

Home of Wool is a Bulgarian home-made brand for wool products such as mattresses, outdoor pillows, blankets, sleeping bags, and everything your home and family might need to feel authentic and safe.

Home of Wool not only supports our events with outdoor cushions that keep our guests warm and cozy during the night stargazing activities, but they also prioritize other quality factors such as materials and the antibacterial effects of wool on people.

Their products are completely chemical-free, with no off-gassing and zero VOCs. Hypoallergenic, suitable for people with chemical sensitivities, including MCS. Naturally dust mite and mildew-resistant, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and flame-resistant.

Since the beginning of our retreat movement, we’ve wanted to draw attention to small businesses that are uncompromising in their standards and bring innovation to the market.

is that and beyond.

Our favorite photo captures the pure joy of children exploring—it's simply priceless to see their excitement and eagerness to learn.

During our recent astronomy retreat, we admired Jupiter and the galaxies M51 and Whirlpool. During the day, we visited the Rojen Observatory, where we found out more about the Bulgarian Astronomy Association. Later, at the Planetarium of Smolyan, we enjoyed a cool gallery exhibit and watched a short film about the Big Bang's history.

Good momrning from the werid world of water,

Did you know that you can finally experience all the deep-water documentaries firsthand.

Have you guys heard of dark water diving? We hadn’t until yesterday.

Now you can travel across the world and dive at night, looking at all the creatures that we are used to seeing only in documentaries, illuminated in the dark ocean.

What a cool way to bring a twist to your dives and explore the sea with a new perspective.

Fun fact: Did you know that comb jellies, also known as ctenophores, are not actually jellyfish? Unlike jellyfish, they don’t sting. Instead, they use specialized cells called colloblasts to capture prey, making them one of the most fascinating and unique creatures you might encounter during dark water diving.

It’s never easy to ask questions that might never be answered, and sometimes these questions make us feel so small.

We bet many of you find yourselves wondering what is the purpose of this life whenever you stare at the sky, just as we do.

That is why we invited Tihomir Yosifov to our Astronomical Retreat. He has many of the answers you might be searching for, and he conveys them mostly through his images.

Enjoy his work on his website or, even better, go visit his exhibition at the Gabrovo Observatory.

Learn more about him in our Linktr.ee pr.

Which one are you?

The friend who always brings a blanket to every outdoor gathering and wraps everyone together?

Or the one who loves it when his friends do that?
