Norway Innhøsting Retreat
Oslo - Trondheim - Lofoten
Private retreat - dates upon request
Recommended time of year: Sept / Oct / Nov
Experience Autumn harvest in Norway’s culinary capital and the majestic Lofoten islands
Escape to the timeless landscapes of Norway’s Arctic Circle and gather your harvest (Norsk ‘innhøsting’) of sensory memories to savour for a lifetime. Our journey begins in the culinary and Viking culture capital, Trondheim, and its surrounding ‘Golden Road’, a route of sublime artisanal producers in rolling countryside. We’ll stay in a serene hotel overlooking the Trondheimfjord that exemplifies modern Nordic design and set out on foraging expeditions with a local guide. From there we head to Lofoten, the iconic Norwegian archipelago with epic mountains plunging into vivid sea. Here, we’ll stay in a reimagined historic fishing village, embark on sea kayaking adventures, warm up in a private sauna on the pier, and follow our local expert on Northern Lights viewing to capture that bucket list moment! Each day we’ll be grounded and uplifted in private yoga sessions, and nourished by the freshest regional harvest cuisine.

Each day of this retreat we will be exploring a concept or idea associated with våryhet, a Norsk term loosely translated to ‘spring fever, or freshness’. Spring is a time of creativity, renewal and hope; it is a time for new beginnings and habits. In Norse mythology, this season is strongly associated with the goddess of fertility, Freya. There are many wonderful Norse tales about Freya and her chariot driven by two enormous cats, her endless golden hair and beauty. Nina will share insights into Norse mythology and Nordic culture over the retreat to add unique layers of meaning to our travel and yoga.
