A RETREAT FOR YOU

The Practice

The Practices during this retreat are designed to (re-)connect you to your body’s wisdom. Some of the daily yoga practices will be strong and spicy, others gentle and soft and all of them creative and breath-centered. Through the vessel of our body you will open into deeper layers of yourself and work with tools such as journaling, vocal release, meditation, yoga nidra and breathwork to remember how intrinsically wild and free you really are.

Our teaching style is inspired by embodiment, the art of being in your body. On this retreat we will not only guide you through yoga practices, but also include more free flowing movement practices such as Shake the Dust and Somatic Ecstatic Dance.

Re-Wild your Soul with Kathi, Laila and Sue-Ana

The Rituals

During this retreat we will hold space for a variety of rituals, including a cleansing ritual, sharing circles, a somatic dance and cacao/tea ceremonies. Rituals are a way to come back home to ourselves and the present moment. The rituals during this retreat are an invitation to celebrate life, connect to the wild and remember in your body-mind-soul that you are a part of the nature around you.

The Intention

Re-wild your soul is a call to return to your most authentic self, to shed the layers of social conditioning, to rediscover the free-spirited and connected being you are at your core. It is our intention to create a space to remember that we are not separate from nature but an integral part of it.

*Please note that this retreat will be held in German.

YOUR GUIDE

Kathi Roth

Kathi stands for empowering our soft, strong, sensual soul.

She has been a meditation student since she was 15, fell in love with yoga when she was in the beginning of her twenties and has been teaching regularly since 2019.

Her teaching style of vinyasa yoga and holding space for embodiment and breathwork practices is inspired by her experience in dancing and theater, traveling the world and learning from international teachers. She has been part of international and local (women) circles for years.

Holding retreats for her is the most healing and nurturing opportunity to dive deep with oneself and other humans, to share stories, to own and use our voices, to get to know our own temple and soul better and to recharge our batteries.

YOUR GUIDE

Sue-Ana Schröer

Sue stands for connecting to and embodying our most authentic version of self.

Sue started practicing yoga when she was 13 and found a way to navigate through hardship in life within the body and the breath.

She loves to share creative vinyasa yoga practices, yin & restorative yoga as well as Shake the Dust. As she is particularly fascinated by nature and its healing effects on the body, mind and spirit, her teachings are greatly inspired by nature’s force, the elements and cycles.

YOUR GUIDE

Laila Binkenstein

Laila stands for true permission to be yourself with all the truths that are alive inside you simultaneously.

She supports you to get to know yourself deeper from the inside out by guiding you into your soma, your body temple. In all her teachings there is space to be you, to explore you, to express you, guided with sweet softness and deep presence. Trusting the bodies wisdom and guidance is a core essence of her offerings.

Laila embarked on her yoga journey 7 years ago and went through various trainings, currently in her 300h training with Satu Tuomela. She teaches yoga, hosts retreats and circles in deep awe to the gift of connection and community.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Frequently Asked Questions

The journey from Arlanda to Shambala (Skinnskatteberg Station) takes around 3 hours and is quite straightforward. You can search for and purchase tickets at www.sj.se.

Please note that the full train schedule is usually available only 2–3 weeks before your intended travel date, so there’s no need to book earlier than that. There are several route options.

As there are no direct trains, you’ll need to take a combination of trains and/or buses. Once you arrive at Skinnskatteberg Station, we’ll pick you up — it’s just a 7-minute drive to Shambala.

Comfortable yoga clothing, a warm layer for the evenings, earplugs and an eye mask for the bright summer mornings, sturdy shoes for forest walks, and a journal if you enjoy writing. Yoga mats and props are provided. Swimwear for the sauna is optional. We’ll send a full packing list after booking.

Our kitchen is designed to avoid the most common allergens. That said, please let us know in advance if you have any food allergies or specific dietary needs, and we’ll take them into account when planning the menu.

For guests with multiple allergies, we offer a simple daily meal option of steamed vegetables and boiled rice.

While we aim to keep our kitchen as gluten-free as possible, trace amounts of gluten may still be present. Our meals are generally suitable for those with gluten intolerance, but we cannot guarantee the absence of cross-contamination for guests with celiac disease.

At Shambala, beyond being a retreat space, we cultivate a way of living deeply rooted in the yogic values of simplicity, presence, non-attachment, contentment, and communion with nature. Rather than luxury, what we offer is intimacy and a sense of belonging. Therefore, our accommodations are simple and mostly shared, with a variety of twin rooms, triple rooms, and glamping tents.

The guiding ethos is one of community and sustainability, creating a vibe that is understated, modest, welcoming, and easy. If you do feel a strong need for a single room, you can write to us. A single room may be available for an additional fee.

All accommodation options have access to shared showers and bathrooms.

We love children and would truly love to be able to host parents with young kids.

However, we’ve found that having young children on site can make it challenging to maintain the peaceful retreat atmosphere that many of our guests seek and deeply value.

For this reason, unless otherwise agreed, our retreats are intended for adults and youth aged 12 and above.

We love animals, but as some guests have allergies, we’re unable to allow animals inside the buildings. For this reason, we kindly discourage guests from bringing their pets.

Retreat Pricing & Terms

Bed linen and towels are included with your booking. You may opt out of both for a 200 SEK discount. To do so, please apply the coupon code ‘NOLINEN’ at checkout.

We understand that life can be unpredictable, and if something unexpected comes up, we truly want to support you as best we can. At the same time, as a small business, we need to honor the sustainability of our work and are therefore unable to offer refunds close to the retreat start date. Thank you so much for your understanding.

  • Cancel up to 3 months before arrival and receive a full refund.

  • Cancel up to 14 days before arrival and receive a 70% refund.

  • Cancel up to 6 days before arrival and receive a 50% refund.

  • If you cancel 5 days or fewer before arrival, the retreat fee is non-refundable.

We warmly recommend arranging travel insurance to cover any unforeseen circumstances.

The retreat cost does not include travel insurance. Travel insurance is recommended for all participants.
