One week Summer Retreat in south of Sweden

Yoga + culture + creativity,

Sunday 23-30 June 2024.

 

A week-long retreat in the south of Sweden, 23 June- 30 july 2023. (earlY booking advisable.)

This is the ultimate way to relax, get Scandinavian inspiration and meet like minded people.

Join me for a week of yoga, walks, creative explorations and cultural influence in my special paradise, the seaside village of Beddingestrand on the south coast of Sweden. I invite you to share my summer house by the sea.

Imagine seven days filled with stillness, inspiration and nature. You will wake up everyday to birdsong and go to sleep to the sound of the sea. We start each day with yoga and meditation outside in a meadow by the beach followed by a wholesome breakfast.

Creative workshops are held daily where we investigate different types of mark making often using the breath as inspiration. We try block printing on both paper and fabric and you will bring home your own designed and printed piece. We’ll also explore museums and design studios in the area and visit nearby villages and the town of Ystad.

For beginners to long-time practitioner in both yoga and art – everyone is welcome.

Simply the best retreat, people, location, food and atmosphere. I could have stayed forever.
— Ann Suart.

What to expect

We will be a small group of 8-10 people. The retreat caters to all levels of experience in art or yoga. You will stay in my summer cottage or in small cottages nearby in Beddingestrand (100m from the beach!) and work in my light-filled studio. We will enjoy lovely vegetarian meals (and local fish). Occasionally we’ll eat in small restaurants in the area and enjoy picnics too.

You’ll be given a creative diary upon arrival. This will be your unique, personal memory of visual notes, and may also be a source of inspiration at home later in the year.

We have several bikes that you can borrow to explore the village and surrounding areas.

Liz’s hospitality is exceptional. Her home by the beach is a wonderful location for a week of interesting workshops and yoga. Each day is carefully planned to ensure participants experience a combination of local nature, culture and Swedish cuisine with time to explore individual creativity while recording the essence of the experiences. A unique introduction to Sweden.
