Welcome to lake Hjorten and my yearly summer retreat. It is such a privilege to share this beautiful place with you and I hope this retreat will bring you rest, a restart, new friends, and internal peace. During this week we will dig deeper into the practice of yoga, philosophical teachers, and texts and look at different tools that can help you see yourself more clearly and how to live a more balanced life in peace.
My hope is that when you come here you will have the time to reflect on what you want your life to be filled with, how we can be kinder to ourselves and be in harmony with our surroundings. I want to offer a greater understanding of our individual needs both in our physical asana practice but also in your internal practice. When you leave here you have received more tools on a personal level and as a teacher if you are one.
Food: I love food and cooking for others, The food you eat will be vegan and from various kitchens, it will be nutritious with breakfasts that taste more like desserts to Asian specialties to raw food. You will be served 3 meals per day with an afternoon snack and tea. You are welcome to join us in the kitchen and see how all the dishes are made.
Accommodation: You will live in a shared house with the rest of the participants or have the ability to bring your own tent and lay in nature. If you want to book a private room in the city of Vätervik, let me know and I will help with different suggestions. See accommodation options and costs below.
