Forest Retreat

  • Leksand
  • 2 days
  • English, Swedish

This is no ordinary retreat. This is a trip back in time, a trip back to yourself. **

For those who long away from our modern way of life: all the stress, all the demands, being available, the mobile, all the noise & noise.

For those who just want to be you, peel off and recharge your batteries in nature. Small group of max 8 people.

Two nights in nature. In simplicity, stillness & partial silence. Simple yoga, meditation, easy hiking in partly hilly terrain along the Romboleden pilgrimage trail.

What you will experience this weekend:

  • Eat & cook together outdoors (weather permitting)
  • Guided hike to lake with sandy beach (approx. 8km t&r)
  • Slow yinyoga practice & meditation
  • Conscious hiking/forest bathing
  • Own time to:
  • explore the hermitages around
  • reflect and journal
  • go for a morning walk
  • rest in the hammock
  • be in silence
  • basing yourself in the forest

Around the pasture and the nearest part of the forest there is an EU-funded game fence. The Romboleden pilgrimage trail goes just outside the gate.

Practical information

The images provide examples of where different experiences can take place. However, in the forest we live in sync with nature & the seasons, which means that sometimes we have to adjust where, how and when we can carry out different activities.

The retreat is happening completely off-grid. This means that we leave a lot of comfort at home. There is an outdoor toilet instead of a modern toilet. A lake during our hike to wash in or water from a spring in the barn. Oil lamps & candles as lighting. Food is cooked over fire or Muurikka etc.

There is limited reception on the phone. It is possible to send messages and make calls but using the Internet is difficult. We recommend putting away your phone completely during the retreat and instead bring a wristwatch.

During this retreat, we live together, as we used to do before. Therefore, we do not offer single rooms, but only part in double rooms.

This retreat is exclusively for women. As the accommodation takes place in shared double rooms, we have chosen to make the weekend exclusive to women for everyone's convenience.

GRUNNA

Företaget föddes ur tanken om att erbjuda verktyg för bättre hälsa och självmedkänsla. I en tid då vi kommer längre och längre ifrån oss själva, en tid som präglas av prestation, digitalisering och orimliga krav är behovet av en paus större än någonsin. Under namnet GRUNNA…
