Immerse yourself in nature, practice yoga and get your hands dirty
Do you crave nature experiences, connecting to the earth, new friendships and time to be in the present, feeling the elements? Are you curious about off grid lifestyle? Welcome to the Norwegian wilderness. We are excited to present a low cost karmayoga/energy exchange program. Yoga, hiking and working the land for the ones of you that want to get your hands dirty, and your bodies tired.
You have to be committed to learn about sustainable lifestyle practices and be comfortable with a very simple way of living, far from what you are used to in your normal life. We are ‘off grid’ in the Norwegian nature with the challenges that the cold weather here brings. No running water, composting toilets and physically hard work every day. You will be living in a glamping tent/greenhouse/hammock, so you will always be outside, sharing the space with all the other loved inhabitant on our property; frogs, spiders, bees, badgers, moose, deer, hares, an occasion snake and many more. Its important that you respect the nature and all the beautiful other beings that live on our land. You will also have new nature experiences, lots of new knowledge through a hands on approach and human connections that you will remember forever.
In this program we offer daily yoga (1,45 hrs class a day), 3 meals a day (a lot more basic then in the retreats), classes on yoga philosophy/sound bath, and hikes on the days off. You help out working the land and other tasks like cleaning the common areas and help preparing lunch for everyone. Working on the land is very physically hard work; digging, carrying wood/stones, wood chopping etc. it will for sure get you in good shape! We are developing our food forest and and the one year veggie beds in this period. In the total 12 days, you will help out 8 of the days, between 4,5 hrs (6 days) - 3 hrs (2 days) per day. This is for you who are on a low budget but want to dive into the world of off grid regenerative living and yoga.
This program takes you back to living a very simple life, off-grid (no electricity or running water) in nature, while getting hands on experience in off-grid lifestyle. Regenerative lifestyle and permaculture are at heart of the development of Hagabrekka Wanderland. We want to offer you a grounding experience where you not only reconnect to nature but where you reconnect to yourself. You can expect to feel very tired in the end of the day (but a good tiredness, not the one you have from sitting in front of the screen😄). We offer you nature experiences and views that takes your breath away, icy rivers and lakes, disconnecting from your devices, healthy wholesome meals, new friendships, connections and laughter around the bonfire and taking yourself outside your comfort zone, the only place we grow as human beings.

Welcome to our retreat and learning center for regenerative living - Hagabrekka Wanderland
Hagabrekka Wanderland is located in Flatdal, a small village in Seljord municipality which is known as an artist's paradise. Beautiful views of the large mountains that frame the u - formed valley provide a great reflection of the fantastic nature and landscape Norway has to offer. At Hagabrekka Wanderland you are far away from everyday stress. We are completely off grid, growing parts of our own food and using principles of permaculture to create a little paradise. This also means a different experience then what most people are used to, there is no grid power or water, we have solar power in some areas of the property, composting toilets and are pumping water from a river nearby, so no running water. We are surrounded by untouched nature, with all the other beings sharing the space with us, this means that you will encounter spiders and other insects. Here you truly get disconnected from the digital hassle and connected to nature and the present moment.
Meals
Healthy, wholesome, plant-based meals is an essential part of regenerative living. We focus on local, organic ingredients that will offer new flavors every day. Some of the vegetables will come straight from our organic vegetable garden as well as wild harvest form the surrounding forest. As a part of the hours you are helping out, some days you will take part in foraging for the meals and helping in the kitchen to make lunch. Lunch will be the biggest meal of the day, while breakfast and dinner are smaller, simple meals. After all the meals you clean your own plate.
Yoga
Our approach to yoga is a holistic way of integrating yoga in all parts of life, not only on the mat. Somethings that go hand in hand with regenerative lifestyle and permaculture. You will have an introduction to the philosophy of yoga.
‘The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore… If a forest is a sacred grove, not timber… If other species are biological kin, not resources... Or if our planet is our mother, not an opportunity… Then we will treat each other with greater respect. Thus is the challenge, to look at the world from a different perspective.’ – David Suzuk
