Rest & Renewal retreat in Norway
25-27 of September 2026
Pykeija- Bugøynes
Rest & Renewal - Levon Voima- retreat-
find inner peace and your own strength
surrounded by northern nature
At the Levon Voima retreat, we do not try to fill the void—we create space.
Far removed from what retreats typically offer, the Levon Voima retreat promises neither absolute silence nor a picture-perfect ideal of wellness. Instead, you gain something far more valuable: the chance to experience what happens when you give yourself permission simply to be.
Just you, exactly as you are—enough.
The rugged beauty of Bugøynes makes no apologies; it does not seek to please, but rather invites you to encounter your own natural self—a part of you perhaps forgotten in the rush of daily life. Standing by the sea, feeling the wind on your face, you begin to realize that rest is not merely the absence of activity. It is a state of being where you and the world are one.
Let go of performing; let go of goals.
At the retreat, you will discover the deepest meaning of rest. Relaxation exercises, the vibrations of singing bowls, and the rhythm of nature guide you back to your body and the present moment. Here, every moment feels like a gift—one you had forgotten to give yourself amidst the demands of everyday life.
When the retreat draws to a close and you stand by the sea one last time, you will notice a shift within you. Not through grand gestures, but through a quiet strength. You will carry the peace of Bugøynes with you—in your memories and in your heart.
Join us if you long for space to breathe more deeply than ever before. Come if you are ready to give yourself permission to pause.
Bugøynes awaits – unhurriedly, at just the right time for you.
Rest & Renewal Retreat September 25–27, 2026
Accommodation and the retreat itself will take place at the cozy *Thereses Feriehus*, an atmospheric wooden house in the center of Pykeijä. A sauna is available for our use at the accommodation. The windows offer a breathtaking view straight out to the sea!
The retreat program is designed to help you step away from the need to constantly achieve. Through various mindfulness exercises and gentle body movement, we give the mind and body a chance to rest and recover from the pressures of daily life.
All activities are gentle and require no prior experience. What matters most is a genuine desire to pause—to let go of titles, demands, and goal-oriented thinking. When you give yourself permission to simply *be*, you can hear the whispers of your inner self. By resting and letting go, you can get to know your core self—the part of you that so often gets buried beneath everything else.
I hope that you keep your phone offline for the duration of the retreat. You may give my number to your loved ones for use in case of an emergency.
