Smultronställe Retreat
A Gentle Retreat in Nature
19-23 June 2027
Nordkoster West Coast Sweden
A gentle five-day retreat in nature with Imken — a time to slow down, breathe deeply, move softly, and reconnect with yourself through the wild beauty of the Koster islands.
Together we will wander to quiet hidden places by the sea and in the forest, practicing yoga, meditation, sound healing, forest bathing, and simple rituals inspired by nature. These days are an invitation to rest, explore, and be nourished by the elements, good company, and the peaceful rhythm of island life.
A small and intimate group of up to 10 participants
