Joya: AiR / Ilinca Fechete / ROM

‘The precious time spent at Joya: AiR has been a truly unique gift and opportunity that has allowed me to engage in learnings of the self as deeply as in furthering my work in a tremendously rich environment - navigating consciously out of the usual distractions and demands of daily life - Joya has also gifted me time with the most deeply touching humans all whilst nourished with the most healthiest homemade dishes’.
