Slow down, recharge and immerse yourself into nature
This retreat is for you who need a break, to slow down, to reconnect to nature and disconnect from the stress of daily life. A reset, to listen and care for yourself, a digital detox, to feel the connection to nature and put away all screens, watches, to do lists and just be present. Enjoy the very moment, the simplicity of living off grid in the raw untouched Norwegian nature. Let wholesome, healthy meals fuel you, and let yourself have time to completely relax and recharge. Rest in a hammock and feel your heartbeat slow down and your lungs fill with fresh air. Listen to your body and let go, let go of tension, stress and pain, embrace and connect to yourself again, your happy state, finding back to your balance.

Welcome to Hagabrekka Wanderland in Flatdal, our learning center for regenerative living, permaculture and yoga
Only around 2 hrs drive (2,5 hrs bus ride) from Oslo you find a little nature paradise. Turn off the screen and turn on life! Here you wake up with a view of Skorvefjell, surrounded by the beautiful, magnificent Norwegian nature. Your alarm clock is the nearby waterfall and birds chirping, while you gently start your day with a hot tea in bed. Practice yoga surrounded by peaceful nature, fresh air and tranquility. Our only goal is to fill the days with calmness, smiles, new friendships, tranquility and peace of mind while we enjoy nature, peace and healthy, yummy, plant-based meals. Welcome to a simple lifestyle close to nature. Let go of everyday stress and only focus on yourself, the present and good experiences. By giving the body time, healthy meals, detox from the continuous use and pressure from today's media, our only goal will be joy.
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.
Yoga
You will gain insight into several forms of yoga during the retreat. Each morning will start with a gentle flow, a dynamic form of yoga, with elements of hatha, the traditional form of yoga. In the evening it will be either gentle restorative class or yin, a relaxing session where the focus is on presence, breath, and inner peace. In all classes, there is an individual focus, and a combination of dynamic and static positions. The yoga classes are suitable for everyone, whether you are a beginner or experienced in yoga.
