In Transition
A four-day slow-paced activity package trip, with focus on relaxation and experiencing the Arctic.
Group size: max 8 people
Duration: Four days, three nights
Meeting point: The trip starts in Luleå
Day 1: Meeting up in Luleå at 2 pm. We travel along Lule river, talking about the landscape in transition from autumn to winter. Check-in at Lapland Retreat, our cosy lodge embedded in the forest. Candle-lit dinner with local specialties, maybe an evening walk – and if the skies are clear, we might spot Northern lights.
Day 2: After breakfast, we will prepare our backpacks and head out into a nature reserve. The aim is to embrace nature at a slow pace – to relax and unwind. We have lunch outdoors by the fire, and if you would like, you may join a guided meditation. The saunas are warm when we come back to Lapland Retreat, offering another moment of relaxation. Dinner and time at your own disposal.
Day 3: Morning meditation in the forest, and breakfast. Taking part in the lifestyle of the Arctic means keeping your hands busy but your mind relaxed. We prepare a traditional flat bread together and talk about our way of life in the north. In the afternoon, you could either go for a walk, maybe pick some berries, join another meditation or just relax in the sauna. Dinner and time at your own disposal.
Day 4: Morning meditation in the forest, and breakfast. We say goodbye to Lapland Retreat and the forest. On the way back to Luleå, we stop at Storforsen, take a walk and have our lunch by the beautiful, untamed rapids. In Luleå at 5 pm at the latest.
A week in the Arctic – nature, culture, and the sense of presence
A true Arctic experience! Five days in the boreal forest – take part in Arctic activities, Sami culture and local food
Group size: max 8 people
Duration: Four days, three nights
Meeting point: The trip starts in Luleå
Day 1: Meeting up in Luleå at 2 pm. We travel along Lule river, talking about the winter landscape. Check-in at Lapland Retreat, our cosy lodge embedded in the forest. Candle-lit dinner with local specialties, maybe an evening walk on snowshoes or by foot – and if the skies are clear, we might spot Northern lights.
Day 2: After breakfast, we dress up for cold weather and head off for a dogsledding activity. We meet and greet with our friends Kristien and Olav and their dogs and go for a full day in the forest. When we return to Lapland Retreat, the sauna is warm – get inside and indulge the moist and the heat. Maybe get a roll in the snow afterwards? Enjoy a relaxed dinner in our main cabin. Evening at your own disposal.
Day 3: Today is our day for Sámi activities. We go to Jokkmokk to visit Ájtte, the Sámi museum, where we also have lunch. Then we continue to Anna at Silba Siida, where we get to meet her reindeer, hear her stories about the reindeer herding traditions, listen to her joik and have a nice meal by the fire in her lávvu (tipi tent).
Day 4: After breakfast, we prepare a traditional flat bread together and talk about our way of life in the north. We have our homemade bread with fried reindeer meat for lunch and then head outdoors on skis! Try the traditional way of transporting oneself in the Arctic. Cosy up in the sauna afterwards, and join the group for our final dinner in the evening.
Day 5: After a slow breakfast, we say goodbye to Lapland Retreat and the forest. On the way back to Luleå, we stop at Storforsen, take a walk and have our lunch in the hotel by the beautiful, untamed rapids. In Luleå at 5 pm at the latest.
Join me! (early summer)
Group size: max 2 people
Duration: Four days, three nights
Meeting point: The trip starts in Jokkmokk
Exclusive package tour – two guests only. Join me during the foraging season, experience the Arctic lifestyle in early summer when nature is vibrating with life. We harvest the treasures of nature, talk about how to preserve herbs for winter, and prepare traditional meals together.
Since you join me in my everyday life, there is no fixed program. Depending on what herbs that are ready to pick, and what the weather is like, we decide what to do from day to day. An online meeting will be held to introduce the settings of the tour, to familiarise our guests with the activities.
