Rachel journaling by the fire

The HOME Retreat is coming back – and this time I’m bringing you home to my own little corner of Sweden.

Just outside Sigtuna, Sweden’s oldest town, on the shore of a frozen lake surrounded by forest, we will gather for five days at the very end of winter.

This year, instead of wild, high-energy adventures, the heart of the HOME Retreat lies in settling into the rooted kind of rest winter calls for. Through embodied movement, time spent in nature, working with our hands, and connecting heart-to-heart, we slowly peel back the layers of who we think we’re supposed to be – so we can get to the core of who we really are. My longing for this retreat is to create a space where we can move a little bit slower, find our ground, and meet in practices that spark joy; gently! Think less snowmobile rides… More knitting by the fire. It’s an invitation to slow down, warm up, and remember who you were before the world told you who to be.

Through yoga, crafting, ritual and community, we’ll find our way back to ourselves. We’ll return home. I can’t wait to sit in circle with you!

All my love,
Rachel
The experience

Here’s what awaits you

March 3–7, 2027 · Kämpasten, Sigtuna, Sweden

Open your heart

Open your heart

Candlelit yoga sessions, active meditations and heart-expanding journaling and sharing practices. Every day we come to the mat to soften, breathe and listen inward – no experience needed, just a willingness to arrive.

Journey through the elements

Journey through the elements

Winter hikes through snowy pine forest, nature rituals, cold plunges in the lake and a one-of-a-kind spa journey through earth, air, fire and water. The kind of cold that wakes you up – and the kind of warmth that brings you back.

Gather softly

Gather softly

Restful evenings by the fire with space to settle into your own rhythm through reading, crafting and storytelling. Candlelight, warm drinks, wool socks and nowhere else to be.

Come home

Come home

Sharing circles, heart healing, and friendships made to last a lifetime. You arrive on your own and leave with a circle of kindred spirits from all over the world.

The schedule

Five days at HOME

March 3–7, 2027 · Kämpasten, Sigtuna, Sweden

01
Wednesday · March 3

Arrive & Settle

Arrive at Kämpasten in the afternoon and settle into your room. As the light fades we gather in the Nordic tipi around the fire for our welcome circle, then share our first Nordic-inspired dinner together. We end the night slowly – reading and crafting together by the fire.

02
Thursday · March 4

Craft & Wander

Morning practice and a slow breakfast, then the day splits in two: half of us head into the winter forest for an adventure and lunch outdoors around the fire, while the other half settle in for a hands-on nature crafting workshop rooted in old Swedish winter traditions. Free time in the afternoon, an evening practice, and after dinner, bedtime stories by the fire – with something extra cozy in store.

03
Friday · March 5

Rest & Release

An easy morning after practice – rest, read, or join the optional herbal soap making workshop. Midday we travel together to Hagastrand for a spa afternoon like no other – warm pools, snow and steam, and a wild, one-of-a-kind sauna ritual led by a sauna shaman. As evening falls, a little Winter Wonderland magic awaits – candlelight, snow and something special shared under the winter sky.

04
Saturday · March 6

Root & Dance

Morning practice and breakfast, then we switch: if you crafted on Thursday, you head into the snowy forest for our winter adventure and fireside lunch, and the forest group gets their turn at the crafting table. A wide-open afternoon to rest, make soap or brave a cold plunge in the lake, then we shake it all loose with a primal dance party before dinner, and end the night with music and crafting by the fire.

05
Sunday · March 7

Home

A final morning practice and our closing circle, one last breakfast together, and then we say goodbye late morning – carrying a little piece of HOME with us.

The place

Kämpasten, Sigtuna

A calm, beautiful nature retreat tucked into the forest beside the lake, just outside Sigtuna – a storybook town of painted wooden houses and cobbled streets, and the oldest town in Sweden.

It’s only about 25 minutes from Stockholm Arlanda Airport, so you can fly in from anywhere in the world and be by the fire the same afternoon.
