The energy is so, so clear, deeply heart centred and the intent with which Shambala Gatherings is held is so beautiful it has become a massively important part of Spiderflower’s work and life. We have found nothing like it elsewhere.

There really are not words to describe how wonderful this community and place is. Working and living here for three weeks was a complete joy. The volunteer experience here is a workshop and enriching retreat in itself. So many beautiful souls in this magical place, and the place itself-- a lake, saunas, bikes, yoga, what more could you want?! You really become a part of the community here. I could have stayed the whole summer!

This place is a loving, supportive and trusting environment sufficiently removed from 'everyday life' that people generally feel free to express themselves in an authentic way, and there is great potential to discover new insights and find inspiration

I came with a lot of questions and uncertainties as to which step to take next in my life. I found not only answers, but beautiful people who prove that another, more free and complete way of life is possible. I left with a heart full of love and possibilities, and will never forget the friendships i have made, nor the generosity of those who make Gatherings possible.

Shambala is a place where strangers quickly become friends

Shambala- a five star ashram with lasting effects!

This is where the magic happens - together, with open hearts in beautiful nature

A unique experience to show, share and develop your love amongst the wonderful nordic nature

Set by a magical beautiful lake, this charming ”get away” offers heart-felt and nurturing workshops, courses and retreats by very competent teachers, and is hosted by two such beautiful souls - Johan and Melissa - who make sure to create a cozy solidarity, and treat you with healthy food cooked with love.

Shambala, is, still after 7 months, supporting somehow my being, I still feel it uplifting my body and mind and guiding my daily life towards my true self, like a light house
