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!

COMMUNITY LIFE

Shambala is a joint effort. From the residential community and core staff, to the volunteers, to the teachers and guests that visit us every year. Since the beginning, our central focus has been to create a place where people can live together in harmony.
