WILD FOREST RETREAT with Marcus Eldh and Christiana Diamesi

Description

[row label=”Description”]

[col span__sm=”12″]

With this retreat we want to feel more at home in nature, just like the wild animals we really are.

To reawaken the sense of curiosity and wonder about all expressions of life. To sharpen our observation skills towards nature and our own body, and feel how totally we belong into the natural world. To be wild as we understand it, means to be genuine and unfiltered, to be in the moment, fresh, alert, and free.

In the morning we will wake up our bodies and minds through yoga and free flowing movement. This will prepare us physically and mentally for an active day in nature.

In the evening we will escape into the forest. We will go for hikes, swim in rivers and take a boat to reach a secret island in a lake.

We will learn about berries, mushrooms, trees and plants, from the large and ancient to the tiny sprout. We taste what is edible and in the evenings we cook delicious meals on a camp fire.

We will learn some of the skills that our ancestors had naturally at hand to survive, such as making fires and using knives. Also how to get cosy and comfortable on the ground, being fully present and alive among trees and wild animals.

We will search for beavers, and meditate in the presence of wild wolves and hopefully even hear them howl in the night. We will spend our evenings in areas where wild animals roam free.

This is a slow retreat. We will move slowly and take time to reflect and feel.

During the retreat we advice you to stay away from technology, internet and social media.

At the end of our days we will relax in a wood heated sauna, and then cool down with a dip in the lake, and hopefully fall asleep feeling happy and free.

[testimonial name=”Guest from Australia, August 2017″]

“Reminds us that we are all Wild at heart! Just being in the peace, intense quiet, and beauty of these landscapes is something we should treasure… I would recommend Wild Sweden to anyone who cares about nature, wants to learn more about it, and who would love to feel some wildness in their heart.”

[/testimonial]
[testimonial name=”Guest from London, July 2019″]

“Adventure of a lifetime! Over the 5 days we spent a lot of time “nature bathing”, just enjoying being outside, and experiencing a big variety of plants and animals. Sitting by the fire, camping between the tall trees, napping in a hammock and walking around in the woods in the middle of the night trying to hear the wolves. Also, if you are a foodie, this trip is for you. The food is divine!”
