Set in the northern openness around Rentjärn, Adventure Retreat uses the landscape—and working with sled dogs—as the context for deep, practical reflection. Over seven days you move through forest, water and mountain terrain while guided conversations and on-the-spot choices push you out of autopilot and toward decisions you have been postponing.

Nature-based mentoring that happens on the move
THE METHOD

Nature-based mentoring that happens on the move

This program is not a classroom or a spa escape. Mentoring is woven into every walk, pause and exercise: direct questioning, feedback and exercises are applied in real time so you make decisions on the spot rather than postponing them.

You meet the kennel, spend time learning life with the dogs and take part in husky trekking through forest—practical, tactile experiences that shift perspective and break habitual thinking.

THE FORMAT

A flexible week tuned to your inner process

Rather than a fixed schedule, days 2–6 follow your developing needs: time for stillness and reflection, multi-day hiking with an overnight, and a calm kayak tour—each element used to move your process forward and to integrate decisions.

What the day feels like

What the week feels like

You arrive into the North, meet the dogs and set an intention on day one; the following days alternate movement and quiet so that questions you’ve been avoiding are surfaced during action—trekking, paddling and nights outdoors provide a changing stage for continuous mentoring—and the week ends with a slow morning to integrate what you’ve decided and a clear plan to carry home.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this retreat suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
People at life turning pointsDesigned for those who feel stuck, exhausted or unable to make decisions; the retreat’s continuous mentoring and active formats are intended to produce clarity and concrete next steps.
2
Professionals burned out by indecisionIf you function but lack direction or have postponed important choices, the on‑the‑spot questioning and movement-based exercises aim to break that loop and restore forward motion.
3
Active outdoor participantsParticipants should be prepared to engage in hiking, kayaking and trekking with dogs over several days—this is an outdoors-first, action-oriented retreat rather than a passive vacation.
4
Those seeking a relaxation-only getawayNot a good match: this is explicitly not a retreat to merely ‘switch off.’ The intent is practical work on real issues, not downtime without structure.
