Return to the Wild: A Weekend Retreat for Nervous System Nurturing and Natural Unwinding

This transformative experience combines ancient practices with modern techniques, creating an embodied experience that guides you toward deep relaxation and self-discovery.
The Healing Power of Somatic Wilderness Immersion
Our bodies are wired for ebbs and flow, just like the natural world. Here we recognize the inherent power of time spent connecting with the natural environment for mental and physical well-being. By immersing ourselves in nature through movement, sensory experiences, and contemplative practices, we deepen our understanding of ecological interconnectedness and foster a profound sense of belonging. Through this integration, we become more attuned to the rhythms of nature and forage new pathways to personal transformation.
What to Expect
Join us at “Return to the Wild” where the pristine wilderness of Sweden becomes your sanctuary for nervous system nurturing and natural unwinding. Experience the powerful effects of healing in the wild, and let the natural world guide you back to your true self.

Somatic Release Sessions: Embodiment sessions for nervous system regulation are designed to facilitate an exploration towards resilience.
