INTERNATIONAL
SUMMER RETREAT
July 7th-15th

Roos van der Laan

Bodil Skadberg
During these 9 days you will be held in a safe and limited group, and guided into soft meditations, yoga, silence, kirtans, work shops, therapeutic group sessions, movement, psychodrama, forest walks and more. We offer vegetarian food, rooms in dormitories or cabins, family tent with mattress, or a place to set up your own tent or camper.
The program will be inspired by both monastic life and different retreat traditions, and led by Roos van der Laan and Bodil Skadberg. The program is an extension of our previous year's "Personal Retreat".
This retreat is suitable for both those who have no experience with retreats, and for those who have participated in previous retreats.
Price: From NOK 8,590 to 10,590,- (NOK)
