Northern Serenity & Flow - womens´retreat
The Northern Serenity & Flow retreat is designed for those of you who long for a deeper connection with yourself and the surrounding nature. For you who love Lapland's peace and its pure beauty.
Come and experience this unique retreat in Ivalo, where nature and well-being merge together.
Let the landscapes of Lapland take care of you, let nature and peace flow through you.
This is a journey not only into you, but also a path through the flow of generations. Returning back to peace, to nature's forgiving and healing embrace. This is your journey to rest, healing and recovery.
Welcome!
Let the energy flow – nature carries, you open up
This retreat is an invitation to a deeper connection.
When you stop in the silence of Lapland, you feel the earth pulsating beneath you, the water carries ancient wisdom, and the wind whispers messages to you that you are ready to hear.
There is no rush here, no predetermined path. You get to feel when you want to participate, when you need your own space.
During the retreat, we deepen our connection to the rhythms of nature, strengthen our own flow, and at the same time care for Mother Earth – because when we become stronger, the world around us also becomes stronger.
The retreat is for you who already feel the call of vibrations, the movements of energy in your body, and want to dive deeper.
The low beats of the drum, the vibration of the singing bowls, and the energy of the crystals support your journey.
Nothing here is mandatory. You can participate when you feel called to, and withdraw when you need space.
This is your journey – supported by nature.

Accommodation – In the cabins of Holiday Village Napakettu
The cabins at Holiday Village Napakettu are cozy, 36 m² log cabins situated on the banks of the Inarijoki River. The river serves as a natural border between Finland and Norway. The setting is peaceful and close to nature.
The cabins are equipped with electricity and running water. The sleeping area features a double bed on the ground floor and two comfortable mattresses in the loft. Each cabin also includes a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a toilet, shower, and private sauna.
The living area features a sofa and a small wood-burning stove, adding extra warmth and ambiance to cool evenings.
Each cabin also has a spacious terrace overlooking the river.
The site also features a separate wooden *kota* (traditional Lappish hut) and a larger traditional *kota* near the waterfront; these serve as gathering spots for shared meals, conversations, and guided activities.
During the retreat, cabins are shared between two participants.
If you are arriving with friends, it is also possible for three or four people to stay in the same cabin.
Meals are prepared by Asle, the hostess of Holiday Village Napakettu. Breakfast is delivered directly to the cabins, while lunch and dinner are enjoyed together in the *kota*, fostering a sense of community.
The cabins are situated on a hillside, and getting around involves using stairs between the cabins, the *kota* (traditional hut), and the beach.

Facilitators at the retreat
The retreat takes place in a small, relaxed group, where everyone is allowed to be themselves.
We live together in a cozy cottage where we share everyday moments, meals and experiences. The atmosphere is warm, unhurried and permissive – a place where you can truly breathe and feel at home.
I organize the Northern Serenity & Flow retreat in collaboration with Reeta from Northern Soul.
