A Rewilding Retreat for Women
World's #2 Best Wellness Retreat 2022 and 2023 by Harper's Bazaar
Join us for a rewilding retreat for women in one of the most energetically potent places on earth! Finland is rich with wild herbs, wise, ancient forests, deep glacial lakes, midnight sun and a culture still in tune with the rhythms and cycles of nature. There is no better place on earth to be during the Lion's Gate Portal, August 8th!
Early August is a particularly potent time because it is known to be the most energetically charged week of the year- the Lion’s Gate Portal, the beginning of the New Year on the spiritual calendar and a time to spend as much time outdoors as possible. This just so happens to be one of the most glorious weeks of the year in Central Finland! From healing and detoxifying sauna rituals, flower crown weaving, wholesome meals prepared with love and daily yoga and tea ceremony to a traditional shamanic drum circle, foraging walks and lake swimming, there is no place like Finland to soak up the primal wild wisdom of the Earth!
