About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Founded by Djurdjica, whose unwavering dedication to supporting refugees, immigrants, and new Canadians spans over fifteen years. Spa retreat Ontario – Althea emerges as a testament to her profound connection with the healing energies of crystals and minerals cultivated over sixteen years.

But our narrative doesn’t end with Djurdjica’s exploration of crystals; rather, it blossoms into a vision of holistic well-being and human connection. Feeling a sense of emptiness along her solitary path with crystals, Djurdjica had a vision. She dreamed of a haven where the calming energy of crystals could blend harmoniously with the comforting embrace of companionship.
