About this trip
Explore the wild, remote beauty of Finland at the transition of the Autumn Equinox. A full week of yoga, meditation and activities in the heart of Finland's stunning wilderness.
Your home for the week is a private eco-holistic retreat centre, conceived as an intentional space to promote ultimate restoration of the body, mind & soul on a deep level. We will have the whole place to ourselves. It is the perfect place for yoga both inside and in the great outdoors!
Surrounded by lakes and forests, the surrounds are ideal for hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, natural swimming, foraging wild food and visiting ancient rock paintings.
When it’s time to come indoors, the rooms are peaceful and cosy From the materials used in the building renovation to the organic cleaning protocol, every detail has been considered to help guests rejuvenate and replenish their energy. All bedrooms come complete with high-end organic mattresses, duvets, pillows and bed linen, 100% cotton towels, and organic toiletries in each bathroom. And the natural building style of the log house provides excellent room air quality.
Naturally there is a traditional Finnish sauna for you to enjoy during your retreat. Sauna is the ancient Finnish pharmacy, where you can melt away all your stress while simultaneously improving your vascular health and flushing toxins from your body.
As part of your retreat you will have the opportunity to immerse in a unique immerse sound journey and a guided outdoor wilderness experience in the national park - both facilitated by the staff at Olo.
Most of all you will have the chance to really tune into this transitional Autumn time to leave you feeling resourced, more spacious and grounded and in touch with a sense of reverence for life.
A full shaping of the retreat practices to be offered by Mandy is still being created and will be updated here soon!
If you have any questions, please be in touch.
