The retreat

Winter in the Lithuanian forest

An hour and a half from Vilnius, deep in the Labanoras Forest, our house sits on a peninsula with private access to the lake. In winter the lake freezes – and becomes the place for an ice bath you will not forget.

An experienced coach guides you through preparation, breathwork and the step into the ice. Sauna master Inga leads the traditional Lithuanian sauna ritual “Pirtis” with birch branches, herbs, steam and honey.

In between: yoga in the yoga shala with large windows and a fireplace, journaling, forest walks and vegetarian-vegan food that reinterprets traditional Lithuanian dishes.
