Intention
At the darkest night in the darkest time, we stand together in a circle of light.
With deep respect for the land and the ancestors, we commune with nature and the spiral that connect us all.
On the eve of the returning of Mother Sun, we understand that all grows from darkness.
Midwinter is the full inhale of the year. We are travelling through the aura, from the crown back to the root.
A time of rest, of reset, of gathering energy.
A time to revisit our boundaries and our intentions.
We will work with the big themes of the (backside of) heart, the aura and the tree of life.
What will you gain?
○ A better understanding of the energetics during the midwinter time period.
○ How to work with the body, mind and spirit in this period of the year.
○ Visualisations and tools to connect with a deeper aspect of ourselves.
○ The grounding effect of participating in ceremony.
○ A weekend of recharge in a too-busy christmas-society.
○ The powerful effect of coming together as a group.
○ A meeting space for likeminded souls.
○ A deep connection to the land and yearly cycle!

About Re-Wild
At Re-Wild Retreats we follow the spiral of the year, the solstices and equinoxes, the dance of the moon, and the old Nordic and Celtic calendar. With our unique concept of Kundalini X Paganism, we offer a guiding hand on your way back to your place in nature, your re-wilding journey.
Following the road from our ancient Indo-European roots, we walk the path from yoga into deep connection with our own soil through European spirituality. Our approach is deeply animistic; we honour the nature beings, the old gods, and the universe that is within us and all. We work with ritual and ceremony, the sacred drum, and the secrets buried in our spine to free ourselves and come home.
We welcome you to journey with us.
What if you got the chance to resynchronise yourself and claim your rightful place in the cycle of life and universe?
Would you take it?

About Ellen
Ellen has a deep passion for yoga and for the connection between humans and nature. After moving to Iceland and later to Norway, she began exploring yoga as a tool for self-discovery, balance, and connection with something greater than ourselves. In meeting the wild Nordic landscapes, her wish grew to weave together yogic wisdom with European, earth-based spirituality.
Through the concept Kundalini X Paganism, Ellen creates a space where we can follow the rhythms of nature and rediscover our place in the circle of life. She uses yoga, breath, ritual, and connection with the elements as pathways to inner peace and outer belonging.
Ellen wishes to inspire others to live more in tune with nature, to find balance within themselves, and to remember that we are all part of the same living whole.

FAQ
What's a ceremony?
"Ceremony brings the sacred into ordinary life. We navigate change and welcome new cycles. Performing ceremonies creates a bridge between the material world and the world of the unseen."
We will perform an accessible series of actions and mindfulness, but we will give great metaphorical meaning to these by performing them in a sacred circle. We will create a save container for ourselves and each other. By doing so we open ourselves up to acknowledge the reflextion of nature's cycles in ourself.
What language will be spoken?
A mix of English and Norwegian.
What kind of food will we be eating?
Because of the nature and intention of the retreat,
will be be eating healthy vegetarian and vegan food.
On our feast evening on Saturday, there will be some local fish or meat as well.
We happily adjust to any food restrictions or allergies you might have. make sure to let us know!
What if I have never done yoga before?
Even though the classes have special intentions. they are suitable for beginners.
As long as you keep an open mind and listen you your body, you will do just fine.
