SERINITY & REST RETREATS IN BUGØYNES

Revive, Recharge & Rest

20.-22.9.2024 & 15.-17.11.2024

Are you in need of a moment´s rest from everyday life? A descent into silence, conscious presence, and relaxation?

Serinity & Rest retreats will offer you the opportunity to catch your breath amidst the stunning nature of Northern Norway, by the shimmering Arctic Sea. 

The retreat program is structured to include both rest and small moments of insight and enthusiasm with enough time to process, rest, read, and enjoy the surrounding beauty of arctic nature.

The retreats differ slightly with their programs. In the September retreat we focus on finding inner peace and balance.The November retreat is dedicated to finding your inner strength.

After the retreat, you will also be able to give yourself small moments of rest independently by using the learnt excercises in your everyday life. The core idea is that you feel rested and calm after the retreat, and that you feel joy and gratitude for having received new ways to survive and revive also for the future.

 

What´s included?

The Serinity & Rest retreats include relaxing and meditative practices through various methods, such as restorative yoga, meditation and Qigong with the gentle guidance of our instructor Janna. The retreat also includes arctic bathing and sauna at our Barents Sauna Camp, cozy and comfortable accommodation in our Hedvig house rooms, and breakfasts, lunches and light evening dinners throughout the weekend.
