RETREAT - FOLLOW YOUR HEART
When was the last time you truly listened to your heart? To that loving and caring voice that whispers to you what you need, what you long for and what you wish for? Life on Earth is so short. How do you want to spend your time here? What legacy do you want to leave behind? What do you want to experience, and how do you want to be remembered? In our retreat "Follow your heart”, those are some of the questions we work with together.
We'll keep outdoors as much as possible, meeting the goats and the horses for deep and heartfelt conversations. Enjoying the serene nature with the forest, the lake and the big mountain just next to us. It's a time and place to reach deep within yourself. What does your heart want to tell you?
Come and stay with us for a day or two, come alone or with friends. We'll set the program depending on what you want and what you need.
NATURE RETREAT - BECOME ONE WITH NATURE
For one or two days we meet with nature in a new way. Not as visitors, not to consume nature, but as equals. We ask to become part of nature for just a little while. To experience nature from the inside instead of as spectators. Does this sound a bit different to you? It is. And it's absolutely wonderful.
Our nature retreat is a deep and heartfelt connection with nature. We'll stay outdoors as much as possible. We'll meet the forest, the meadows and the animals at the farm in a completely new way. Without hierarchy, without expectations on performance. We'll experience what it is to just be and to become one with nature. A magical experience that stays in the heart for a long time.
Come and stay with us for a day or two, come alone or with friends. We'll set the program depending on what you want and what you need.
Do you want an overnight stay? We have comfortable indoor beds, but also the opportunity for you to sleep in outdoor hammocks under stars. It's your choice :-)
WINTERHAVEN GÅRD
At our farm (gård) you’ll meet yourself. In the quiet stillness, a hideaway from citylife, a sanctuary for both people and animals. Here you’ll find no stress and no expectations on you. The focus is on just being, listening to your heart and to the nature around us, and connecting with all that is.
Welcome to us!
Meet the animals
There are nine goats and four horses on our farm. And the wild animals that we can‘t keep count of…Here we let them live a life as natural as possible. Without expectations from us humans. Just being allowed to be a horse or a goat. We don’t ride our horses, and we don’t demand any milk from the goats. We just let them be who they are.
We know that meeting animals is a deeply healing experience. In their presence, we’ll reach into our own heart. In their presence everything is just as it should be. When you visit us, you meet the animals on their terms. They will mirror you and your needs so that you’ll get in touch with your heart, and what’s truly important to you.
FOLLOW YOUR HEART
Ida is a trained coach and a licensed Mental Trainer, specialised in personal development with the support of animals and nature. When you book a retreat with us she’ll share with you some of all the knowledge and experience she has gathered through the years.
Coaching can be about many things, but our focus is always to help you understand how you can follow your own heart.
Together we’ll identify the tools you need to turn your attention inwards. What is important for you, right now in your life? What do you want more of? What do you want to put behind you? How can you reduce the every day stress, so that you have time to really experience all that life has to offer? What do you need to make your dreams come true?
empathic leadership
Johan's long Experience from the Swedish Airforce, in combination with his deep love for animals has resulted in us both developing a concept for the empathic leader. This is a leadership philosophy that is anchored in your heart. How can you follow your heart in your leadership? Together with us you'll explore that question in a beautiful environment, toghether with the animals who immediately give you feedback on what's working and not.
the nature
Our farm is surrounded by 80 beautiful acres (33 hectares) with forests, meadows and the lake. The mountain is always there, holding space for us all. The healing powers of nature is palpable in every breath. Come with us on a hike, a forest bath or an outdoor meditation. Let's sit down and breathe.
Just breathe.
STAY WITH US
When you book a retreat with us, you can also choose to stay with us overnight. Either in our farmhouse "Mormors" (which means "Grandma's" in Swedish"), or you might choose to sleep under the stars with us.
In "Mormors" we offer double rooms and a joint shower and toilet room. The beds are comfy with linnen bedding to ensure that you'll sleep really well. Breakfast is always included.
SLEEP UNDER THE STARS
To sleep outdoors under the stars is a unique experience. You'll be as close to nature as you possibly can. We'll hang our hammocks in one of the groves near the farm. You'll bring your own sleeping bag and pillow, and we'll provide what else necessary.
Our hammocks have sleeping mats and reindeer skin. When the sun is down and the camp fire is out, our guess is that you'll sleep deeply.
