A brotherhood retreat in Swedish nature

An ancient journey, in brotherhood, into yourself

We invite you to come home with us, to nature, to your inner nature.
We invite you to join an ancient rite of passage. Far away from sounds of civilization and material distractions. In brotherhood and in solitude, guided by ancient ceremonies we stand still at questions that probably linger in all of us:

  • Who am I? Free from day-to-day’s rush…when at night the call of the loom echo’s over the lake.
  • What is my purpose? ..when the sound of the silenced drum still resonates in me.
  • And what is the humbling presence of Mother Nature telling me?

In a pristine landscape of forests, lakes, and wildlife we will hike through forests, canoe over pristine lakes, build base camp and trust among each other. We will cook outdoors, and experience the workings of ancient practices as drumming, sharing, holotropic breathwork, a sweatlodge ceremony, and a 24-hour vision quest in solitude in nature. A journey in brotherhood of which we pray in humbleness it will give us a deeper sense of ourselves, our purpose in life, and so how to relate to the people around us, and to Mother Earth.
