ROOTED IN RITUAL
a rustic nature retreat in Sweden
Before summer turns into harvest season, and the first hints of autumn appear in the forest, we’ll gather at Kvarnen, a beautifully restored former watermill hidden deep within the Swedish countryside. Cam will offer daily yoga-movement sessions, mindfulness, breathwork and meditation, as well as sauna, chanting and sound healing practices.
Over three days, Rituals Retreat becomes an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and into a slower, more intentional way of being. Surrounded by pine forests, waterfalls, wild swimming spots and open skies, we’ll spend our days immersed in modern and ancient practices designed to recalibrate our system.
Each morning begins with a dynamic Vinyasa yoga practice, meditation and chanting. These sessions are thoughtfully designed to welcome all levels, although, if Vinyasa is new to you, expect to explore some edges and challenge yourself, all within a safe and encouraging environment. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting out, there's space for you to grow and connect.
The afternoons remain intentionally spacious. Time to swim in the lake, rest in the tree-top sauna, journal, read, wander through the woods, or simply do nothing at all. We’ll close our evenings gathered in sound, through collective chanting or the restorative resonance of a sound bath.
Meals form an important part of the retreat rhythm. A chance to remember the beauty of gathering, of slowing down enough to savour both food and company.
Check-in: Friday from 12:00 hrs
Check-out: Sunday between 12:00–13:00 hrs

Facilitator
Lead teacher
Born and raised in Denmark Camilla (@cam.origin) always found herself seeking adventure, traveling to explore different cultures and challenging the comfort of home. When in Copenhagen she is unfolding her creativity (and dreams) through the creation and running of KAILO yoga studio whilst practicing yoga on, and more importantly, off the mat. She is now a 1.000 hr+ yoga teacher and a certified sound healing practitioner, with training ranging from alignment based Iyengar yoga, to soul-searching Bhakti yoga. Cam finds herself teaching wholesome classes with encouragement to explore your mental and physical edges, that serves beautifully to introduce you to your best and most brilliant self. She's dedicated to offer classes that balance the sweetness of inner as well as outer work, shedding light on our individual hidden treasures.
Assistant teacher
Dom (@koprdik) was pulled into her first yoga class when battling anxiety. Yoga helped her to understand that there was more to herself and life than what she had ever imagined. Learning to implement this amazing practice in all spheres of life, Dom believes yoga is for everyone willing to get curious and explore - on or off the mat.
Dom’s teachings are all about creativity, playfulness and authenticity. Last year she finished her advanced 300 hour training with Dylan Werner, now making her a 730 hour registred yoga teacher, trained in Ashtanga, Rocket, Yin and Vinyasa.

About the venue
Hidden among Swedish pine forests and overlooking a quiet lake, Kvarnen is a former watermill thoughtfully transformed into a retreat sanctuary where nature takes centre stage.
This is not your usual luxury retreat. The luxury here lies in the raw, imperfect beauty of nature, the silence, fresh air, dark star-filled skies, cold water and crackling bonfires. A place where beauty is found not in perfection, but in the rawness of the landscape.
Our light-filled yoga shala overlooks the forest and lake, offering a practice space where it's easy to feel almost at one with the surrounding nature. Just beyond the buildings, forest paths lead to wild swimming spots, a waterfall, and Kvarnen's iconic tree-top sauna nestled among the pines.
The food
We'll serve you delicious, vibrant, vegetarian food (vegan by request). We'll enjoy a fulfilling brunch every morning around 11am and dinner around 6pm. If needed, small servings of fruit, nuts or other snacks will be available in the morning before practice. We'll also serve some little surprises in the afternoon. We source all ingredients organically and as local/seasonal as possible.
