Spend the Summer Solstice in the Silence of Nature and Inner Peace

17-22 June 2026
Yoga Monastery, Sweden

A special time of year to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and go deeper

Midsummer Retreat takes place during the summer solstice — the longest and brightest days of summer. In many traditions, this time is considered especially powerful for inner clarity, renewal, and spiritual practice.
Surrounded by Swedish nature, forest, water, light, and silence, you will step out of your usual rhythm of life and enter a space of depth, beauty, and presence in the here and now.
You want to step out of everyday business
You are tired of constant tasks, screens, pressure, and a crowded mind.
You need a deeper kind of rest
Not just a weekend getaway, but a real inner reset.
You feel drawn to nature and simplicity
The forest, the lake, the silence, and the long bright evenings feel more healing to you than yet another packed trip.
You are curious, even if you are new
You can come and benefit from the retreat even if you have no prior experience.
You want to be around people who practise regularly
So that you can feel supported by those who truly live this path.
You want to discover spiritual practice in a living environment
Not as a trend, but as something alive, grounded, and meaningful.

Practice in the company of monks

What makes this retreat special is not only the programme, but also the presence of people for whom meditation, yoga, and spiritual discipline are part of ordinary life. This creates an atmosphere that cannot be imitated — it can only be lived.
You are invited not only to attend practices, but to be present, observe, learn, and feel what this rhythm of life is like from within.
The retreat begins early and unfolds through meditation, asanas, classes, meals, walks, silence, community, and evening rest. This rhythm helps you step out of your usual busyness and enter a more natural, clear, and nourishing state.
