Sweden, officially known as the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Scandinavian country located in Northern Europe. It is known for its breathtaking natural landscapes, vibrant cities, rich history, and high standard of living. With a population of approximately 10 million people, Sweden offers a unique blend of modernity and tradition.
We pick you up at Arlanda airport or Uppsala train station for the 5 hours drive to Dalarna, with a couple of interesting stops along the way.
We arrive in Navardalen, a remote wilderness lodge overlooking a frozen lake and surrounded by rolling hills covered in snowy forest. We light the fire heated ovens and make ourselves at home.
We will stay in shared rooms and help out with the cooking.
Welcome dinner followed by a sharing session
Sauna if you like.
Night at the lodge.
Morning meditation if you feel like it. Breakfast by the fire.
This day will be devoted to exploring the surrounding forest. We fill our thermoses with hot drinks and venture out on snowshoes in the deep snowy landscape. Our aim is to get to know the forest and all of it’s inhabitants.
This forest has fairly large populations of Moose, Red fox, Mountain hare and Pine Marten and we regularly see tracks of Wolverines and Lynx too.
During the previous retreat we saw several moose. If we are lucky we can hear the calls of the Boreal owl or Pygmy owl and see Black grouse take off from their hiding places in the ground.
We just love to walk around in winter wonderland surrounded by ancient spruce and pine trees covered in snow and lichen.
Lunch in the forest or at the lodge.
Free afternoon. Read books, play games, hang out with the others.
After dinner we will heat up the sauna and the adventurous are welcome to take a dip in the lake.
Night at the lodge.
Meditation and breakfast.
On this day Marcus will take you out for another hike in the forest. If the conditions are good we will build snow sofas and light a fire on the frozen lake. We may also try our luck ice fishing. The lake is known for it’s Char, a very beautiful and tasty fish for those who eat fish.
In the afternoon Christiana will lead a sharing session with meditation and journal writing.
We then help out to prepare a festive New Year’s dinner together. Let’s create a feast in the wild!
Later in the evening we will have a sauna ritual which includes an optional ice bath. It is all about leaving the unwanted behind to create space for the new!
We end the year and welcome the new with a fire at the frozen lake.
Night at the lodge.
This will be a relaxed day, we deserve it!
We begin the new year with meditation and then Christiana will lead us through a sharing circle where we set our intentions for the year to come.
After a brunch you have the chance to join Marcus to explore some frozen waterfalls nearby.
In the evening we have another chance to marvel at the starry sky and watch for the Northern lights. Fill up your thermos and bring some snacks to stay warm and content.
Read your book, play games or just hang out in the sofa.
Dinner and night at the lodge.
We enjoy one last slow breakfast at the lodge and conclude the adventure with a sharing circle.
We then help out to tidy up and bring all of our common equipment to the vans before we pack our bags and get ready for departure.
We drive to Mora where we will have a lunch together, a chance to have a shower before entering the train back to Stockholm or Arlanda airport.
