ILLUMINATION RETREAT
Join us under the bright summer sun for a weekend to reset, recharge, and illuminate.
Our next retreat takes place at Quarry Houses, a collection of traditional Swedish homes in Gylsboda, SkĂĄne, set between forest and lakes.
Over the weekend, we will move, breathe, rest, and spend time outdoors. We'll immerse ourselves in a program of yoga, movement, breath, sound healing, sauna and lake swims, nourishing meals, and long conversations that stretch into the long midsummer evening.
The theme for the retreat is Illumination. For us, that means creating space to feel clear, energised, and more aligned with your vision for the year and your high-vibrational self. Through breath, sound, and intentional movement, we work with the body’s natural energy and nervous system to shift out of stagnation and into creation. The creative energy of our surroundings will be a channel for us to go deep.
We’ll explore this further through workshops, astrology, and guided journalling. Everything is designed to spark creativity and reconnect you to your sense of expression.

YOGA
HELEN ERICHSEN
Helen (@helenerichsen) is a vinyasa yoga teacher and the founder RAVE Yoga. Combining her background in media and marketing with her passion for yoga and well-being, RAVE's unique angle is expressed through creating immersive wellness experiences in any space. Helen's creative energy lies within transforming spaces into yoga studios, using the RAVE equipment and attention to every detail. Her classes are dynamic and usually include upbeat music with an indie influence. She loves to incorporate breathwork as well as aromatherapy into her classes. Her classes are open to all levels and focus on finding balance through deeper mental and physical connection with the self. Rather than doing yoga to be good at yoga, the approach is to do yoga to be better at 'doing' life.
SOUND + ASTROLOGY
JENNY
Jenny is our retreat astrologer and sound bath facilitator, with a deep reverence for the transformative power of vibration. She will guide us on a journey of personal transformation through astrology workshops and one-to-one support—using your unique astrological blueprint as a tool for growth, insight, and evolution. With a background in intuitive sound therapy and sacred instruments, Jenny also creates immersive soundscapes that bring the body and mind into deep rest. Her sessions offer a space to soften, surrender, and attune to subtle inner shifts—where true transition begins.
FOOD
TRINE
Trine has a passion for creating vibrant, feel-good meals that make you want to dance in your yoga pants. For the upcoming yoga retreat, she’s ready to whip up a feast that not only fuels your body but also lifts your spirit. Think of it as food that’s as zen as your downward dog—and as delicious as the first sip of water after a sun salutation.
With her Danish roots and Scandinavian flair, brings a little Nordic magic to the retreat. Her cooking is inspired by the vibrant, seasonal produce of Denmark and Sweden, where fresh ingredients are celebrated in every meal, from foraged herbs and mushrooms to farm-fresh as well as tangy pickled vegetables. Each dish is a perfect match for the yoga vibes of the weekend—light, energizing, and oh-so-satisfying
