ROOTED IN BALANCE
a weekend retreat in the secluded Swedish forest
The Sanctuary Retreat is tucked away in the hidden valley of a nature reserve at the edge of a big forest. Located in the Skåne region of Southern Sweden. Its peaceful and quiet surroundings invites our overstimulated senses to take a break from noise and constant input. Overload of information both audibly and visually is stretching our nervous system often until burn out. We offer this retreat as a way to balance out body, mind and soul through the delving in delicious organic vegan food, the Swedish nature, deep breathing, meditations and yoga movement (or stillness) to unwind.
We believe that balance is a moving target and it is the feeling you can only sneak peek at yourself. Guided by the idea of approaching the balance, we’ll explore different aspects of ourselves and get to know ourselves from the inside out. Take time to listen and declutter the mindset, tap into the simplicity of nature and your being and explore grounding practices, as well as some delicious yoga movements.
The simple rustic style of the Farmhouse reminds of a monastery or hermitage - don’t expect a ‘5 star all-inclusive hotel’ as this retreat is an embracement of nature and the simple lifestyle and the ‘luxury’ lies in the non-luxury. An abundance of wild flowers and medicinal plants adorn the meadows and the magical garden of the Sanctuary which embraces a cathedral-like event Dome. The animal kingdom is alive in great variety from salamanders and deers, to eagles and cranes.
OUR OFFERINGS
Physical practices will allow you to nourish your body, meditation & sound baths will guide you through your subtle layers. Any tension locked up in your body will be sweated out through the sauna session, but we also relax into cozy evenings of reading and journaling. We offer you a safe space to ground down and unwind, but also to cozy up and socialize if needed! Balance might be a moving target, but you can always aim for it by giving yourself that space to explore - we offer you the surroundings and practices to do exactly what is needed. You can choose to participate in all of our offerings or only some, most important is your freedom to explore whether it is the silence of your mind or movement of your body.

FACILITATORS

Dom is a passionate yoga teacher with a focus in Vinyasa Flow. She enjoys teaching the mix of athleticism, spirituality and deep stillness - all inspired by music, craziness of life and modern science. Her top priority is sharing from a place of realness and authenticity, providing a non-judgemental space for everyone to be their truest selves and shed the layers of who they might think they need to be.
Forever interested in her student’s stories, quirkiness and human connection, rather than perfection of any kind. You might hear her say cringe jokes, play Britney Spears and dance strangely, but she will do her absolute best to guide you through your magical yoga path.
Lena is a heartfelt food and yoga lover. Fascinated by the diversity and power of plants, she is curious and passionate about cooking delicious vegan soul food. Since more than six years, she lives a vegan lifestyle rooting from the care for the animals, planet and her own health. With her ever-growing interest in food, she pursued a PhD in food science and explored the aroma of plant-based foods. One of her deepest wishes is to share with others how simple and nourishing plant-based/vegan eating can be, and to indulge everyone in the pleasures and joys it can bring – for your body and mind.
