Programm
Set in the wilds of Finland, surrounded by snow-draped trees and skies alive with stars, you’ll reconnect with what truly matters. Through movement, ritual, rest, and nature, you’ll come home to the steady, wise self that’s been waiting for space to be heard.
Join The Quaives for an intimate, transformative week in Southern Savonia, a deeply nourishing blend of yoga, ceremony, connection and adventure in a beautiful lakefront villa, surrounded by pine, birch and spruce forest, with panoramic views, wood-burning fires, a private sauna, and the chance (if nature allows) to witness the Northern Lights dancing above you.
Each day begins gently—with yoga led by Clare: a mix of Dynamic flow, Kundalini, Restorative practices and yoga Nidra—all designed to help you come home to yourself.
There’ll be fireside sharing circles, sound baths, nourishing seasonal meals, and spacious time to rest or roam. For those craving the outdoors there will be options for forest walks, snowshoeing or an icy lake dip.
This retreat balances true hibernation days with opportunities to explore the stunning winter landscapes. They encourage moving with life's flow rather than forcing against it, providing practices to soothe the nervous system and nourish body, mind, and soul. Whether you seek a more grounded, purposeful life, a deeper connection with nature's cycles, or belonging within a supportive community, this retreat offers the tools, wisdom, and practices to guide you.
This retreat is for those seeking:
- A sacred pause to reset and realign.
- A balance of deep restoration and adventure.
- A safe, held space to reconnect with themselves and others.
- A community of kindred spirits on a similar journey.
- An experience that ripples into daily life beyond the retreat.
The program
Rooted in the elements – This retreat follows the natural rhythm of the five elements, guiding you from grounding (earth) to expansion (ether).
Ceremony and sharing circles – You gather to release, reflect, and connect around the fire or with plant medicine cacao or talking circles, holding space for transformation and shared wisdom.
Balance of structure and spaciousness – This retreat offers a beautiful flow between guided sessions and open time for rest, reflection, and integration.
Soulful, heartful and mindful practices and movement – Expect yoga, sound healing, somatic movement, journaling, meditation, sauna sessions and deep rest.
For those after some adventure outdoors you will be going on a moonlight mindfulness guided snowshoe walk. You will also have the option for an exciting day visit to a husky park for husky sledging.
Class styles
Morning classes will generally start with a relaxing session of yoga Nidra, breathwork or meditation followed by a dynamic practice designed to both ground and energize you for the day. The late afternoon / early evening classes will generally be longer and more gentle starting with a sharing circle, guided journaling or a cacao ceremony followed by a nourishing Yin-style yoga session and deep relaxation.

Lage
Located in southern Finland, the Finnish Lake District itself, a landscape sculpted by the Ice Age, is an abundance of rocks and lakes. After the ice melted, it left a bare labyrinth of solid rock, diverse rock formations, lakes, streams, and rivers. Nature slowly and carefully covered parts of the land with typical Finnish woods: stately pine forests, beautiful birch woods, and fabulous spruce forests for you to explore during your stay.
Verpflegung
Seasonal soul food
At Living Wild Retreats, food is more than fuel—it’s part of your healing, grounding, and pleasure. Each day, you’ll be served three nourishing meals made from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, designed to support your energy, digestion, and overall sense of wellbeing.
The menu is mostly vegetarian, with a few locally caught Finnish fish dishes thoughtfully woven in. From warming soups and roasted vegetables to fresh salads, wholesome grains, and gently sweet desserts, every plate is a celebration of nourishment.
Breakfasts might include spiced porridge, cottage cheese pancakes, or herby eggs with homemade rye toast. Dinners may feature baked salmon with dill and roasted roots, or buckwheat with lemon-tahini and sauerkraut slaw — always colorful, balanced, and prepared with love.
Please let them know in advance about any allergies or intolerances so they can make sure you feel fully supported at every meal.
