Yoga Retreat Shambala Gatherings

21-23 March 2025

"The Alchemy of Love, Safety & Support"

Join me for a transformational and heart-centered community experience over the weekend at beautiful Shambala Gatherings! This is an invitation to embark on a journey towards authenticity to cultivate a healthy and profound relationship with yourself.

You will be safely guided into your nervous system through gentle yet powerful yoga practice. As you delve into your inner world, you will have the opportunity to compassionately explore and support various parts of you. You will learn simple somatic tools for self-regulation that you can integrate into your daily life. The aim is to slowly begin to rewire patterns in your nervous system that hold you back in life and to strengthen your overall mental and physical health. As you immerse yourself in embodiment practices, you will start to build a strong inner foundation while safely addressing stored stress and trauma in the body.

My intention is to guide you on your path to healing within a realm of loving-kindness. Weaving genuine connections between kindred souls, this sanctuary embraces the sacred interconnectedness of life.

You are welcome to join exactly as you are, whether you are a new or experienced yoga practitioner. My hope is that you will leave with a felt sense of safety and support, feeling inspired, grateful, and at peace.

A warm welcome to join me this weekend!

LOCATION, FOOD & ACCOMMODATION

Shambala is an intimate yoga community and retreat center located in the dense forests of Bergslagen, two hours from Stockholm in Skinnskatteberg, Västmanland. Dedicated to community and yoga, Shambala's vision is to live harmoniously with nature. Surrounded by lush forests and a tranquil lake, it invites you to enjoy peaceful walks, refreshing swims and moments of reflection. A highlight is the floating sauna by the lake, offering a soothing experience.

The kitchen is inspired by the Indian Ayurvedic health tradition, serving delicious and nutritious food that is vegan, gluten-free and made primarily with organic ingredients. Meals are often enjoyed on the sunny deck overlooking the lake. Shambala are happy to accommodate dietary allergies — please inform them when making your booking. Non-alcoholic beverages accompany each meal.

Accommodations are cozy and simple, with options to share a double or triple room. Single rooms are subject to availability. Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information on rooms and facilities, please visit Shambala's webpage.

At Shambala, you'll be welcomed wholeheartedly with open arms into a homely, family atmosphere, where daily lake swims and saunas are just a part of the healing experience that this special place offers.
