Meet Iulia,

founder & host of ZOFretreats

Happy to see you here!

As an experienced wedding stylist, entrepreneur, and creative enthusiast, I understand the importance of exploring our creativity and connecting with like-minded individuals.

In light of the pandemic, I've created a sanctuary to come together to learn, celebrate, and explore. With over nine years of experience in the events industry, I felt the challenges of being a creative entrepreneur and, at the same time, the profound need for a place that feels like an escape. That's why I dreamt of ZOFretreats - a space where we can empower and nurture our mind, body & soul.

With a deep focus on well-being and togetherness, our retreats & one-day events are designed to help you tap into your creativity by exploring the connection with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Our events allow you to dig deep into your creative self, push beyond your limits, and create lasting memories with kindred souls. Through workshops, activities, and connections, you'll embark on a journey of self-discovery designed with love and soul.
