OPEN FOR SPONSORSHIPS
We want to make sure that you are able to rest this winter, so we want to open up this opportunity for those who are struggling financially but want to come to this retreat. Send us an email at ShambalaGatherings@gmail.com and tell us more about you and why you want to come, and you might be one of the guests chosen to get 50% off.
“This is where the magic happens – together, with open hearts in beautiful nature.”
Join us for slow and simple community living connected with nature. We have scheduled activities on offer, but you decide your own pace and what you want to participate in. Kids are welcome too and pay half price – min age 10 max age 16 (older than 16 pay standard rate).
NATURE WALKS
Shambala Gatherings is surrounded by the beautiful forest of Bergslagen, home to deers, moose and the beaver. You can enjoy well signed nature walks of different lengths from Shambala. In February we might have snow and you will be surrounded by a beautiful winter wonderland which is still open for pretty hikes. Bring your ice skates and skis if you are feeling adventurous!
FOOD
We serve vegan, mainly ecological meals three times per day. The usual timings are 9h for breakfast, 13:30h for lunch and 19h for dinner. Tea and water is served all day.
SAUNA & COLD SWIMS
We have wood burning floating sauna on our lake. Join a small group of us, as we relax and then take a dip in the lake. Cold exposure brings equilibrium to your body and aids in lowering inflammation.
CRAFTS STATION
Art material will be provided in a special spot for you to enjoy. Get back into your creativity and learn to create fearlessly as a part of your spiritual practise.
KNITTING
During this retreat, we will offer an ongoing knitting workshop. You bring your own supplies (yarn, idea, pattern, and knitting needles) and if you want support in choosing your project, send Annilie a message at annilie@telia.com. Knitting is a wonderful way to meditate and is good for organising your thoughts. The workshops are open for both beginners and experienced knitters!
