About The Retreat
Yoga, meditation, walks, saunas and swims. Rest and re-wild yourself in Sweden. Our location, just two hours West of Stockholm, is breathtakingly raw, magical and wild. Immerse yourself in nature, jump in the cold lake, gather around the bonfire, canoe, read, journal, nap or go for long walks in the mystical forest. This place is a simple and stunning retreat venue, set on the most beautiful private misty lake, with a floating sauna, and an onsite library. There is a group of volunteers that live on the land and help the management run everything behind the scenes of retreats, and this gives it a real sense of community living that always feel very special to drop into. Thursday 15th - Sunday 18th May 2025. From £875 for a private room or bell tent and £795 for a shared twin or double. Retreat highlights include: ✨Daily vinyasa, yin & meditation classes with Jenny ✨Forest walks and refreshing wild swims in the lake ✨ Relax in the floating wood-fired sauna ✨Accommodation in a range of twin or double rooms or luxury lake-side bell tents ✨Delicious plant-based, mainly organic food, afternoon snacks and fika on arrival (that's Swedish for a tea break and sweet treats!) ✨Take your morning coffee outside overlooking the lake, practice yoga in the light-filled yoga shalas, walk, rest, read, nap, write. Come back to yourself. ✨Come solo or with friends, everyone is welcome.
