Everything you need to know
Beloved tribe,
Our gathering is just around the corner!
Before you journey towards the sacred sands of Ada Bojana, here’s everything you need to know to arrive with ease, move with flow, and stay informed throughout our gathering.
ADA Dates: September 15-20, 2026
Check-In: Tuesday, September 15, from 2:00 PM at the resort reception
- Check-In Steps:
- Step 1 – Check in at our ADA Info Desk to receive your festive retreat bracelet (for all participants and both ADA package and ticket holders)
- Step 2 – Check in at the resort reception to receive your room key (if your package includes accommodation)
👉 Both the ADA Info Desk and the resort reception are located in the same place – the official entry to the resort.
Although we are aware that your travels to the island may have felt like an eternity, we kindly ask for your patience so that the check-in process can run as smoothly as possible for everyone involved.
👉 If you arrive earlier on September 15, we’ll do our best to accommodate you once your room is ready.
🔔 In case of late arrivals, please let us know your estimated arrival time so we can adequately prepare for your check-in and ensure a smooth welcome to the resort.

- For Integration Journey participants – Tuesday, September 22, by 10:00 AM
Our journey begins on Tuesday, September 15, at 6:00 PM with the Opening Ceremony in the ADA Temple.
We invite you to wear lighter tones – white, beige, and earthy colours – to honour the spirit of our first shared ritual.
Together, we’ll set the tone for the five transformative days ahead, form our family pods, and surrender to the first evening offering yet to be revealed – a powerful, energetic welcome into the field we’ll co-create.
Our first shared meal will be dinner on Tuesday evening (September 15), right after the Opening Ceremony.
From Wednesday, September 16, to Saturday, September 19, we’ll gather for two shared meals each day – brunch and dinner. On our final day together, Sunday (September 20), we’ll close the journey with one last shared brunch.
In case you haven’t secured your food package yet, we highly recommend arranging it before arriving on the island, as on-the-spot prices will be 20% higher.
The total cost at the moment and per person, with a 20% discount, is €195.
If you haven’t already, you can secure your food package by Monday, September 14, at 11:30 PM HERE.
💡 Each food package includes two meals per day: brunch & dinner. We intentionally skipped breakfast due to morning ecstatic dance sessions – heavier meals aren’t optimal for movement.
- But don’t worry – for those who wish to put something in their belly early in the morning, you’ll be able to find lighter options at the Beach Bar.
From Wednesday, September 16, to Saturday, September 19, you’ll have the opportunity to dive into workshops happening simultaneously across five temples.
Each workshop is an immersive journey into different layers of human existence, guided by extraordinary facilitators from around the world.
You can already explore the workshop descriptions HERE – we’d like to encourage you to do so before arriving, so you can begin tuning into the experiences that call to you. Please make sure to check workshop descriptions for anything you might be required to bring with you.
Many facilitators will offer at least two workshops, meaning that if one overlaps with that of another facilitator whose medicine you’d also like to experience – you’ll likely have another chance to join later in the programme.
Apart from the official offerings in our daily agendas, many facilitators will offer individual and/or small-group sessions as an opportunity to work with them in a 1-on-1 or more intimate group setting.
❗❗ These sessions are not included in your basic ADA package or ticket and require an additional payment on the spot.
You can explore the individual and small-group sessions HERE, while the booking will be possible on the Info Desk (from Wednesday to Saturday in two shifts – 11 AM to 12:30 PM; 4 PM to 5 PM).
Additionally, during our time together, there will be a few group initiations as part of the programme that are donation-based, such as the Celestial Cobra Breath Initiation (L1 & L2, L3) and the Ice Baths. You will need to book your spot through Info Desk.
The complete daily programme timeline will be available online before the Opening Ceremony.
Our days typically begin as early as 7:00 AM with morning activations and unfold all the way until midnight, filled with workshops, ceremonies, and music performances.
For those who wish to explore further, we also offer a few Temple Nights – late-night guided experiences that last until 1:00 AM.
🔔 It’s essential that you attend all sessions marked as obligatory for all participants – especially during the first two days of our gathering.
Keep in mind that ADA is designed as an intensive and profoundly deep dive into the depths of our beliefs and conditioning, as well as into the vastness of both collective and individual consciousness.
The structures and frameworks we’ve put in place are there to support your navigation through the whole six-day experience and to help you better map the inner terrain and flow through your personal process with more ease and clarity.
ADA is designed to move deeply, and some workshops may bring emotions, memories, or inner experiences to the surface that have been waiting a long time to be felt, witnessed, or expressed.
Throughout the gathering, our designated emotional support team, the Empath Angels, will be there for anyone who needs a grounded and compassionate space to pause, process, or simply be accompanied.
You’ll find them at their dedicated support point, next to the dining area terrace, clearly marked on the venue map (that will be available before the start of the event).
There’s a ramp at the resort entrance, and you’ll be given a ramp ticket upon entering the resort’s grounds.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Don’t lose the ramp ticket – you’ll need to hand it over at the reception upon checking in, so that you can exit and enter the resort’s grounds during the event without paying the entrance fee.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: If coming by taxi, please make sure to hand over the ramp ticket immediately upon arrival at the reception, so that they can free the taxi’s exit from the resort’s ground.
🅿️ There’s parking slot within the resort’s grounds.
New internet routers have been installed throughout the resort, and Wi-Fi generally works well, especially in the accommodation units.
However, depending on the weather, the number of devices connected at the same time, and your location – the connection may sometimes be unstable.
We recommend checking the connection upon arrival. If it doesn’t work well for your needs or if you have scheduled online activities during ADA requiring a good connection, you can purchase a local internet SIM card at the reception and use mobile data instead.
⚠️ It is essential to know that tap water on the island is not drinkable. You can:
- Buy bottled water at the on-site market and Beach Bar
- Fill up for free in the temples and dining room (if you have a food package which grants you entry)
💡 Bring a refillable water bottle for optimal convenience!
The resort ATM, near the on-site market, is out of order.
Hence, we advise you to bring cash with you for:
- Individual and small-group sessions (they can also be paid online, with a transaction fee of 5%)
- Donation-based group initiations
- Beach Bar
- The ADA Bazar (for handmade goods, clothing, and other treats)
If you’re flying into Montenegro, you’ll land at:
- Podgorica Airport (closer) or
- Tivat Airport
You can:
- Take a taxi directly to Ada Bojana – FKK Island (Google Map Pin)
- Share with the taxi driver that you’re going to the FKK Ulcinjska Rivijera resort on the Ada Bojana island
- Or go by bus to Ulcinj, then a short taxi ride to the resort
Join the Travel Buddies subgroup on WhatsApp to coordinate rides and share costs with other participants arriving the same day.
We’ve created a WhatsApp Community Group for all ADA tribe members. It’s where you’ll find designated sub-groups:
- Announcements (Important to follow during the event’s dates)
- Travel Buddies
- Finding Roommates
- Integration Journey (for those wishing to extend their stay and join a guided two-day period)
⚠️ During ADA dates, we won’t be responding to emails.
Our whole team will be on the ground, so if you have any questions or need support while on-site, please use the Questions & Thoughts WhatsApp group (opening on September 15th).***
In mid-September, daytime temperatures on Ada Bojana average around 26°C (79°F), with highs reaching up to 30°C (86°F), while evenings and early mornings can be considerably cooler (dropping to around 18°C (64°F)).
We are monitoring the weather forecast daily, but at the moment it continues to change frequently and may not fully reflect the conditions we experience on the island.
Alongside your summery clothes, we therefore strongly recommend bringing a few warmer layers, a light jacket, and something suitable for cooler or unsettled weather, so you can stay comfortable whatever the days bring.
Throughout our days together, we’ll be sitting on the floor, dancing, breathing, and moving, so bring loose, breathable clothing that supports both comfort and free movement.
Here’s a list of some additional useful items you may want to bring along for a more comfortable stay:
💧 A refillable water bottle – there are refill stations in the workshop areas and the dining room;
🦟 Mosquito repellent – they tend to come out for 1-2 hours after sunset, and then vanish;
🖊️ A journal or notebook and pen – you might want to capture insights, dreams, or downloads;
🧘 A yoga mat for morning practices – if you are not comfortable with sharing those we provide for everyone to use;
🧺 A light blanket – perfect for sitting during ceremonies or keeping cosy in the evenings;
👘 A sarong – as some of the workshops require having them at hand (please check each workshop’s description);
🪑 Extra back support if you need it – foldable floor chairs or cushions are welcome;
💃 A fun or s€xy outfit – for dressing up in something that makes you feel good;
💊 Any medications or supplements you need to take regularly.
That’s everything you need to know (for now). If there are any updates, you’ll find them in our WhatsApp Community Group.
Once ADA2k26 festive retreat begins, the WhatsApp Community Group is your lifeline.
We’re counting the days until we gather in the last portal before our year-long sabbatical, for the destined journey our souls have been longing for.
With love, care, and deep anticipation,
The ADA Team
