In Lapland October is a month where we can admire the last colours of Autumn and where nature begins its slow shift towards winter stillness. The nights are dark, offering a chance to see the night sky and, with a bit of luck, the Northern Lights. The days are cool, crisp, and full of fresh northern air. 

​

Our time together is shaped by nature and the rhythm of the program, with the schedule gently adapting to the weather and changing conditions. We spend time outdoors, gather in shared circles, and move through breath, sound and presence. Some excercises include energy work to assist and support us in connecting with nature and ourselves.

​

The retreat offers:

​​

Touch and self-compassion 

Through a guided life inventory, relaxing visualization, and breathwork, we create space for self-awareness, release, and renewal. These practices support emotional wellbeing, inner balance, and a deeper sense of self-compassion.

​

Nature Connection Exercises and Grounding
While being outdoors in the forest and by the river, we will practice grounding and opening up our senses to the healing energies of nature. The elements of air, fire, earth, and water will support us during our journey and we will practise been present also for nature.

 

​Gentle Energy Work through meditation and relaxation

Gentle energy work, such as Reiki, is integrated into some of the exercises to support our overall well-being. The soothing sounds and energies of singing bowls help calm the mind and create a deeper sense of balance and inner peace.​

​

Reflection on Resources
What brings you strength and joy? During the retreat, we will delve into identifying our sources of strength and create a resource map that will guide you even after you return home.

​

Sauna and Refreshing swims in River Inari
In the heart of Lapland's pure nature, you will have the chance to relax in your cabin´s own sauna and dip into the cool water of River Inari– a perfect combination for refreshing both body and mind. The cabins are located by the border river of Finland and Norway.

​

The Magic of the Silence, Firelight  and the Northern Sky

In the evenings, we gather by the fire for open conversations. There is also time to simply be, watch the night sky, and if we are lucky, witness the Northern Lights dancing above the landscape,​

​​

Space for Surprises

Not everything can be planned. Throughout the retreat, there will be space for intuition, and whatever naturally wants to emerge within the group. Whether it’s an inspiring conversation, an unexpected moment, or simply extra time to rest and be in nature, we leave room for the magic that often happens when there is no strictly fixed agenda. Sometimes the most meaningful experiences are the ones we never anticipated.

​

Small, Intimate Group in Cozy Cabins 

The retreat takes place in a small, relaxed group where everyone is welcome just as they are. We stay in cosy log cabins at Holiday Village Napakettu, each with a bathroom with shower and ensuite sauna, small firestove for heating, and a fully equipped kitchen. We share daily moments, meals, and experiences in a warm, unhurried, and accepting atmosphere.
