Lapland Finland Late Winter
March 16th - 20th 2025
Where Are We Going?
This retreat is a beautiful collaboration with the acclaimed ‘Reclaim Yourself Retreat Company’. You can read more about Jools Sampson and her company by clicking the banner at the bottom of this page. I am honored to be a member of her incredible team.
Our retreat destination is a Finnish lodge set on the Ounasjoki River in Köngäs, near Levi in Lapland. On this trip, you’ll experience the beautiful traditions of Northern culture and learn more about Finnish life. We have co-created this weekend with our guide Heidi, who will share her knowledge of local traditions, customs and mystical stories of old times. You’ll practice yoga each morning and evening and head out for some snowy adventures during the day.
Included in your retreat are two snow-shoeing hikes in the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, a visit to Arctic Sauna World and a traditional Lappish folklore and drumming session. Also included is an ice-dip and sauna experience at our riverside kiln where you can enjoy total peace and silence and soak in the hot tub under incredible starry skies.
There will also be an opportunity to add an exhilarating 2 hour self drive husky sled ride through the forest. At this time of the year temperatures are usually well below freezing, there is lots of snow and with any luck plenty of Northern Lights.
Our home on retreat is in a Finnish lodge set in a remote village on the outskirts of Levi. Bedrooms are simple, cosy and comfortable with ensuite bathrooms.
We have 9 ensuite rooms set on 2 floors, a cosy living room and a yoga room.
There is a small sauna on each floor and a riverside kiln with a big sauna, hot tub and ice hole.
In true Lapland style, our retreat lodge is located in a tourist location near to an Elves village. During the day there will be visitors in the grounds but our retreat lodge is peaceful and private.
Our Finnish chef will be creating simple, hearty meals. Meals are created with quality local ingredients including some meat, with great emphasis on using what nature provides in the region. (Vegetarian meals are possible and our chef can accommodate some special dietary needs but please do let us know in advance).
