MORE THAN AN ACCOMMODATION IN NATURE
Choose the retreat format that suits you
You can join us either as an individual guest on an open retreat week or book a private retreat for your own group.
Open self-led retreats are 1-2 week long and designed for those who long for personal space, silence, and room to restore in the middle of nature.
Private retreats are ideal for groups of 5–11 people — friends, work teams, or any group wishing to share a restorative digital detox retreat experience together.
Private retreats can be arranged as self-guided experiences or tailored as guided retreat experiences. The length of the retreat, content, wellness services, and catering can also be customized according to your group’s needs.
All retreats include a safely held structure, a personal welcome, and the opportunity for deep restoration at your own pace.
Included in the Retreat Price:
The retreat base price includes everything essential for you to arrive peacefully, settle in safely, and focus on what matters most — rest, restoration, and reconnecting with yourself.

Additional Wellness Services
You can deepen your retreat experience by booking additional wellness services from our separate treatment menu, designed to support letting go, nervous system relaxation, and deeper restoration.
Booking and Cancellation Policy:
Your retreat place is confirmed by paying a 40% reservation fee through the booking system. The reservation fee can be paid either by credit card or by bank transfer. If you choose bank transfer, you will receive payment details in your booking confirmation email to complete the payment and secure your reservation.
The remaining balance 60% is paid at the end of your retreat on-site by debit or credit card together with any additional wellness treatments.
You may cancel your retreat free of charge up to 14 days before your retreat begins, in which case the reservation fee will be refunded in full.
If the cancellation is made less than 14 days before arrival, the reservation fee is non-refundable. However, the reservation fee can be transferred to another retreat date within the same season, subject to availability.
We aim to keep our booking and cancellation policy clear, fair, and flexible, so that arriving at your retreat feels as safe and stress-free as possible.
1 WEEK / 7 NIGHTS
Even a single week of slowing down can create meaningful change. When the stream of external stimuli stops and you begin living in nature’s rhythm, both body and mind start to recover quickly. A short pause is often enough to interrupt the cycle of busyness and reconnect you with your natural pace.
The effects of a seven-day digital detox are often clearly noticeable:
-
Your nervous system begins to calm, and your sleep deepens.
-
Your mind slows down and your ability to concentrate improves.
-
Your thinking becomes clearer and new ideas emerge.
-
You reconnect with your emotions, needs, and values.
-
Your self-awareness strengthens.
-
The underlying restlessness caused by digital devices fades.
For many, a week marks a turning point — an experience of what life feels like without constant overload.
2 WEEKS/14 DAYS
In two weeks, recovery deepens. After the initial slowing down, the body and mind begin to settle into a more stable and natural rhythm. The habitual need to perform, anticipate, and stay ahead gradually softens.
Regular journaling or self-reflection during the retreat can significantly strengthen your connection to your inner voice. Insights begin to organize themselves into clearer direction.
During a two-week retreat, you may experience:
-
A deeper settling of your nervous system.
-
Noticeable improvement in focus and mental clarity.
-
More reflective and expansive thinking.
-
A stronger connection to your emotions and authentic needs.
-
A clearer plan for integrating the retreat’s benefits into daily life.
A two-week retreat is no longer just a break — it becomes an unfolding process of change.

It's a little piece of paradise tucked away among the trees!This retreat gave me a sense of peace. More in touch with myself, my goals for the future and with nature and all living things.I am less compulsive with my use of technology.
