SITOS Team

Holistic companion

Focus: Nutrition & genuine connection

“I am ME: Consistency beats every idea of perfection, authenticity over fake news.”

I’m Baran, co-founder of SITOS Retreats and a passionate chef with a deep enthusiasm for movement and building a strong, healthy body.

My journey has been shaped by personal transformation and an intense exploration of nutrition, movement, and faith. What was once a vision has now become reality — born from the deep desire to create spaces where people are able to reconnect with themselves again.

From an early age, especially during the transition from primary school to secondary school, I felt that a classic 9-to-5 life was not meant for me. I need intrinsic motivation and the freedom to live according to my inner rhythm in order to truly be in harmony with myself and my body.

Cooking strictly by recipes? Not my way.

I cook with devotion, presence, and intuition — and that is exactly how I work in life as well.

I believe that true strength often lies in silence.

That discipline has nothing to do with harshness.

And that all of us can relearn how to trust ourselves again.

Even as a young person, I knew that the world would not become better through thinking or consuming alone. Real change begins within every individual — including myself.

My contribution is to make this already beautiful world a little more worth living in.

SITOS Retreats is my part of that. Not a trend, but the lived connection of two siblings who complement each other and create something together that truly serves people.

That is what I stand for.
That is why I am here.

Certified trainer

Focus: Self-connection and cycle syncing

"My goal is not perfection, but presence, because whoever begins has already arrived."

I'm Dilan, a trainer, host, and co-founder of SITOS Retreats. What makes me stand out?

​

I'm down-to-earth, firmly grounded in life, and deeply connected to my own story. Having grown up in a family of self-employed individuals and competitive athletes, and shaped by typical 9-to-5 jobs, I know the path through challenges, detours, and personal transformation. Not from books, but from real-life experiences.

My work is based on mindfulness, intuition, and genuine connection . I don't believe in perfection, but in courage: taking the first step, even if it's a small one. As a long-time children's sports coach, among other things, I've preserved my inner child, and it's with this lightness and joy that I now design my courses, cacao ceremonies, and retreats.

It's important to me that everyone is welcome, regardless of their individual circumstances. Your body isn't a project; it's your home . I'm not guiding you to improve you, but to remind you of your strength, your depth, and your own unique rhythm.

I live and teach feminine energy/Cycle Sync : clear and present, and I know that men and women need different spaces, approaches, and training sessions, but both can and should coexist.

SITOS Retreats is my part in creating and passing on something that has not only helped me, but has now become my life.

That's what I stand for & that's why I'm here.
