Back to basic

– the most important things you need to know for a life in the woods, or to become a woodlander

You are genetically adapted to a life in the woods – not for a living on the couch or in town!
This unusual retreat will be both a crash course in rewilding, survival, edible plants, natural movement and mindfulness while at the same time your body gets recovered in the most beautiful of environments.

We start the morning by experiencing the forest with all our senses. Our minds, soul and body awake together with the forest.

We look at the different species of wood and what they can be used for, as well as other herbs, lichens, mushrooms and berries that humans have used for different purposes. We will talk about forest gardens, the relation of the forest to the rest of the farm, some thoughts about the forest as a ecosystem and forestry.
Håkan will teach some survival, like making fire with different techniques, handling the knife and the ax and how to build a simple hut in the woods?
You will also practice to cook food over open fire …

Are you in need of silence and do you want to learn more and try a forest bath? Then we have made a program for you with self-meditation in the woods. Or try  instead our special forest bath retreat :)

food
Breakfast: Delicious breakfast buffet is served in the tin castle.
Lunch: We eat together in the woods.
Dinner: Made by participants themselves in our outdoor kitchen by the lake. The outdoor kitchen is equipped with all that is needed to cook a organic vegetarian dinner. There is a gas stove as well, but the intention is that the participants practice cooking over the open fire. The food can be cooked by yourself or in groups.
NOTE: Fish and meat is not included but can be purchased (lamb from the farm, perch or rainbow trout from the lake or own fish farm). So even beer and wine. We have a nice little collection of natural wines.

Last night we end with thoughts and stories about the campfire.

To bring:
Soft clothes for yoga and meditation that you can use in the forest. Good shoes for bad weather and rainwear to pull over. Warm clothes just in case. Small simple backpack to carry in the woods. Slippers for the cottage. Swimwear.

No previous knowledge required !
