Winter Solstice Sweatlodge

A weekend with coffee and cake, sauna, yoga nidra and sweatlodge ritual

This winter, I am returning to my geographical roots to continue the prayer for these lands in the sweatlodge that we built together in February 2025. This will be a small community weekend retreat (limited to 12 participants) to be together and celebrate the magic moment of winter solstice through community, ritual and prayer. The winter solstice represents a portal at which we are invited to face the darkness of these times together and allow it to transform us. We go into the darkness, the womb of Mother Earth together to honour this moment in the cycle and to recharge our herts at our shared fireplace for the coming winter holidays.
Get ready for a cozy winter weekend sharing coffee, tea & cake with friends, sauna, storytelling and music by the fireplace, and gentle yoga practices such as meditation and guided Yoga Nidra. The heart piece of our weekend together is the sweatlodge ritual on Sunday at the exact time of the winter solstice portal. I am very grateful that we are invited to be here again and to join Ole, the guardian of this place, a former train station which served as a military point in the second world war to support his vision of bringing beauty and peace to this land.

The Power of sacred Geometry

In a world of endless possibilities, which can potentially result in chaos, we can easily lose ourselves. Just think about the many times in our daily lives that we are utterly lost in thought. In the times long before us, our ancestors understood that we need to honor the sacred geometries of the land and the 4 directions in order to live in harmony and reciprocity.
We find geometry in the seasons, in music and rhythms, in language, in dance, … a natural order to find our way. The rhythms of the seasons, the geometry of the stars and also the design of our bodies reflect the substance that all of this is made of. How can we recognize form as pillars in a world in which, potentially, everything is possible? How does the understanding of order support us in creating safe spaces within and without?
