Holistic Wellbeing, The Finnish Way
Creators of spaces for activating a new way of being, from the inside out. Our mini-retreats combine wellness traditions from Finland, the happiest country in the world, with transformational workshops. These intentional retreats are underpinned by evidence-based principles and intuitive wisdom.
A holistic approach to wellbeing harmonises the inner and outer worlds. In Finland, the concept of "sisu" embodies resilience and inner strength. Finnish wellness traditions emphasise this balance: saunas provide a space for meditative silence and communal connection, while immersion in nature allows for self-discovery and connection with the natural world. This interplay between inner reflection and outer engagement fosters true wellbeing and lasting harmony.

Nordic Walking
Nordic Walking
Experience the benefits of Nordic walking in the stunning Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Redefining Wellbeing: A Three-Part Approach
Redefining Wellbeing:
A Three-Part Approach
Part 1: Understanding Our Human Experience
How we create and experience our reality from the inside out is key. By delving into our state of mind, recognising separate realities, and connecting with our innate wisdom, we gain a deeper understanding of our human experience. This is underpinned by evidence-based principles, which provide a foundation for comprehending the nature of thought, consciousness, and mind.
Part 2: Creating Intentional Containers for Transformation
To facilitate profound shifts and insights, we create intentional containers or cocoons for inward journeys. Leveraging Finnish traditions, we uncover our innate wellbeing through practices that promote inward reflection and personal growth. Saunas and nature immersions serve as powerful tools, providing the necessary space for introspection and transformation.
Part 3: A Comprehensive
Holistic Approach
Our approach considers the entire journey. We focus on what is needed before to prime a transformational experience, the optimal format during the process, and most importantly, what is required after to integrate the insights and shifts. This holistic approach ensures that the changes are embodied and sustained, leading to a lifelong shift in our way of being.
