Our Story
Our story so far...
The physical pink house is located in Taslixhe, Prishtina. Back in the days it was known and loved as the restaurant Il Passadore. The former owner Antonella indulged her guests with exquisite Italian cuisine and her hospitality. She left a special magic in the house and garden which makes it feel like home to everyone.
As some of our founding members moved into this heavenly refuge in the hectic of Kosovo’s capital Prishtina the vision was clear. This place needs to be opened to a larger community to rest, heal, connect and learn. Building up on the energy of hospitality, healthy food and good company we are creating a home for a local and global community of yoga lovers, holistic health practitioners and learners. But out effort and community is not merely connected to this place. Additionally we are building and hosting an online platform.
Timeline
In 2018 we found a property and started to live and work in the house to create an inviting space for guests and travellers.
2019 was about living in The Pink House and spinning ideas. We were trying to understand of what could be done and how we can have impact. We connected with a wider community in Kosovo.
We started off and committed to work on making the property a community space for healing and education. We estbalished weekly work-meetings from then.
We created a project design and finalized the concept. We established first partnerships and developed an online infrastructure. Although the corona pandemic was quite a burden, we continued working and connecting online.
After months of bureacracy we are registered as a non-profit organization (NGO) in Kosovo. We are continously building partnerships and seeking support. Our team grew to 6 people.
In 2021 we were finally ready to officially start our activities. We organized sharing circles, workshops and other sessions on holistic health.
