The Purest Silence // Northern Finland Retreat

What to look forward to:

 

Come join us on a retreat that you will never forget! We're taking off for a 5-day, 4-night Yoga & Nature Retreat to Northern Finland. In the dark days of the winter, we are headed up north into the Arctic Circle where you'll find the purest silence and the cleanest air, and maybe even the Northern Lights!

No leaves on the trees or small critters, no noisy traffic, and very few people around, just thick snow that absorbs any sounds and brightens the long nights, and beautiful nature that nourishes the mind and soothes the soul. The retreat will be filled with yoga, meditation, nourishing vegan food, beautiful nature, sauna, and more.

We will be staying near Levi, Finland in a cozy, large cabin with shared rooms. You will be guided through two yoga practices per day and we will be served delicous, vegan food that nourishes the soul and energizes the body for our great outdoor adventures snowshoeing and cross-country skiing through the forests right in our backyard.

We will have the opportunity to use the sauna just a few steps out the front door. There is also a large yoga hall across the yard, and a large hut where a fire will be built and we will be led through a meditative drumming experience.

There is much to look forward to and we can't wait to enjoy it together! Please join us for Yogafactory's first retreat to Finland!
