Coming Soon in Summer 2024
Escape the hectic hustle, and join us for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Estonia’s pristine nature in Põhja-Kõrvemaa. Picture yourself surrounded by lush forests, healing bog lakes, and the gentle embrace of Mother Earth. And now add the sweetest alaskan malamutes to the picture, dogs who will appreciate your therapy as much as you will appreciate theirs. Immerse yourself in moments of serenity as we awaken with the morning sun, greeting the day with invigorating yoga sessions in pure nature. Feel the cool embrace of the lakes and bog pools as we swim in their rejuvenating waters, connecting with nature’s purity and grace.
But our adventure doesn’t stop there. Together, we’ll harmonize our spirits through simple yet powerful melodies, singing in unison for connection and presence. Brace yourself to push beyond boundaries, testing your limits and discovering the reservoirs of strength within.. both physical and mental.
In the sacred glow of twilight, we’ll gather around the fire, dancing to the primal rhythm of drums, our spirits soaring as we shed inhibitions and embrace our authentic selves. Let the warmth of the sauna rituals cleanse both body and soul, leaving you refreshed and renewed.
Amidst the whispers of the wind and the rustle of leaves, we’ll delve into the depths of creativity, writing poetry that echoes the song of our souls. With each step and sway, we’ll dance the dance of liberation, celebrating the beauty of being both humble and real, free and powerful.
Come, sisters, let’s embark on a journey of self-discovery and sisterhood. Let us bask in the majesty of nature’s embrace, as we find ourselves, create ourselves, and find a connection that transcends time and space.
