AWAKEN THE CREATOR WITHIN
A practical transformation workshop in the magical Stinica,
on the Adriatic coast at the entrance to
Velebit National Park.
✨ with a unique gift ✨
🎁 A one-of-a-kind book of your awakening journey 📗
Stinica is a picturesque seaside village at the entrance to Velebit National Park.
It lies across from the island of Rab, near the historically rich town of Jablanac and the stunning Zavratnica Bay, one of the most beautiful natural gems of the northern Adriatic.
At the meeting point of the mighty mountain landscape and the gentle Adriatic Sea, masculine and feminine energies intertwine – the solid, grounding, and protective power of Velebit, and the soft, flowing, and receptive energy of the sea.
When we pause here and listen to the silence, we are embraced by the healing breath of nature and a deep sense of inner peace.

Who is your host?
Mirela Smajić
As a mentor, editor, and promoter, I help entrepreneurs, visionaries, and creative individuals transform their authentic stories into books.
Books have been my world – both professionally and personally – for more than three decades, and today I connect them with places that naturally awaken creative energy.
In these spaces, where nature and silence merge with the deeper layers of consciousness, new visions, stories, and ideas are born.
The workshops I lead there are a natural extension of that flow – a meeting with oneself, a space of transformation where every story becomes an experience, and every experience an inspiration for a new story.
The summer of 2025 brought my first encounter with Stinica – a magical place on the Adriatic coast where the mighty Velebit mountain meets the gentle blue of the sea.
The peace, simplicity, and silence of this place instantly captivated me. There, I felt that a person can once again reconnect with themselves, their natural rhythm, and their creative spark.
Each workshop I create is a co-creation with a carefully chosen team of people whose presence and contribution bring a unique energy to every experience.
Such workshops carry a distinctive signature –
authenticity, inner alignment, and a creative flow that leads to a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
In Stinica, this energy is reflected in the waves, the wind, and the silence –
in a space where inspiration is born and where your story becomes part of a greater flow of life.
Creative Workshop
During the workshop, we will activate the right hemisphere of the brain and open the doors to your creativity.
In a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere, I will guide you through conversations that will free your feelings, impressions, and inner images,
allowing them to naturally flow into a unique story – a gently woven memory of this journey,
which I will gift you as a lasting reminder.
Perhaps it will be this very experience that ignites the spark of your first book.
