“It’s been like a holiday, retreat, spa break, organic farm stay, all rolled into one. Truly an honour to see how you live and are at home with nature and one another and to feel as though I could touch into that. You do it all in such a cool, understated way but it’s stealthily profound. ”
“I loved the structure of the day, having the text read out loud, qigong, and the talk with poems leading into meditation. Working outside, the meditation tent, and feeling very connected to the outdoors all stayed with me — along with the big breakfast, though honestly all the meals were excellent. The sauna, the house, and my room were wonderful too; I loved sitting out on the balcony.
It’s very different to any other retreat — it gives you a taste of communal living. The food is healthy, nourishing and fantastically good, and there’s space to be alone if you need to reflect. The house is stunning, the hosts are incredibly warm and welcoming, and the Dharma study feels like a group of like-minded people coming together for a conversation, where all views are welcomed.”
Red Ladder Studio, Southern Sweden In the farming world, January is when the fields lie fallow — rest and recuperation, as essential as planting and harvesting. This retreat offers that same pause: a chance to turn inwards and sit with where your life — and your practice — is heading.
