Details
Experience deep peace and inspiration during a personal retreat at Sukha Nordic Retreats, surrounded by the forests of Värmland. Here you will find everything you need to reconnect with yourself, supported by ancient traditions and modern insights from mindfulness and Ayurveda. We will help you understand your Ayurvedic body type, your patterns, and how you can best support and balance yourself. During a conversation with Mariëlle at the beginning of your stay, we will tailor the Ayurvedic treatments together depending on what you want to focus on. Jacco provides delicious vegetarian meals, but you are also welcome to join in and learn how to cook a healthy Ayurvedic meal yourself. We start and end the days with a lovely meditation or mindful yoga. At Sukha Nordic Retreats, we offer a holistic approach where Ayurveda and Mindfulness go hand in hand to give you the balance you need to feel good – both physically and mentally. Through Ayurveda, you gain personal insights into which diet and lifestyle suits you, and Mindfulness helps you let go of the obstacles and patterns that hold you back from living in harmony and inner balance. According to Ayurveda, each individual is unique and has their own constitution. When you get to know your body type, your strengths and weaknesses, you gain a deeper understanding of how to best create balance in your life. Living in line with your natural constitution not only gives you health but also a sense of inner happiness and well-being. However, for many, this balance is affected by factors such as stress, unhealthy diet, or lifestyle, which can lead to various health problems such as burnout or hormonal disorders. During our first conversation, we will map out your specific needs and focus on what is most important to you. We will then tailor your Ayurvedic treatments. If you wish, Mariëlle, an Ayurvedic practitioner, can provide personal advice on lifestyle, nutrition, and Ayurvedic herbs – or even consult with an Ayurvedic doctor if needed. Mindfulness is a powerful method for being present and accepting of what is, without judgment. It helps you listen to your body's signals and look at yourself with compassion, especially when life doesn't go the way you planned. Relaxation is not a goal in itself, but a natural consequence of practicing conscious presence. It gives you the opportunity to break negative patterns and find your inner peace, which leads to more long-term health and wellbeing. Tailor-made retreat experiences combining Ayurveda and Mindfulness – for those who want to find balance, renewal, and inner harmony. Let us help you regain your energy and live in harmony with your body and soul!

★ Reviews
It all started with a dream of opening a unique retreat for women to come and experience the Ayurvedic lifestyle combined with yoga. In 2015 we started Sukha Texel in the Netherlands with hundreds of satisfied guests in the coming years. Now we are starting Sukha Nordic Retreats in Sweden and our driving force is the same - to create a beautiful place in nature to help women come into more balance. Many people today have a hectic life with a lot of stress, which negatively affects hormone balance but also their relationship with food. Through Ayurveda we teach you which diet and lifestyle suits you best. With mindfulness you gain insight into the patterns that prevent you from making wise decisions.

You will stay in one of our three wooden houses. Tastefully and comfortably furnished, designed with natural materials for a feeling of luxurious simplicity. In the middle of nature, but not remote. Enjoy the forest, the view of the lake, and our two friendly horses on the farm. Just a stone’s throw from the Bergs Klätt nature reserve, three modern cabins are beautifully nestled in the landscape at the edge of our farm. Here, you will find ultimate peace, whether you’re enjoying the view of the lake or our lovely horses. It’s the ideal place for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. From your cabin, you can enjoy wonderful walks through the woods, where in the summer you can pick berries and chanterelles. You’re highly likely to spot deer or – with a bit of luck – one of the rare white moose that live in this region. In just 10 minutes, you’ll be at Glafsfjorden, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. Feel free to use our canoe or SUP board for a relaxing ride on the water. After an active day, sink into the hammock while enjoying the crackling fire under the grill, or simply gaze over the lush Swedish countryside. In winter, it’s even more atmospheric here. While we can’t guarantee snow, the past three winters have mostly been white. The wood stove in your cabin provides cozy warmth, and the natural interior of the cabin makes it extra snug. Thanks to 45 solar panels, your stay is also sustainable. The cabin has everything you need: a charming kitchen, a separate bedroom for two, a wood stove, and central heating. With excellent insulation and triple-glazed windows, it’s also a perfect destination in the coldest months.
