WINTER RETREAT
18 – 23 feb 2024 | Rendalen, Norway
Nordic winter. Tundra and forests are deeply covered with snow. Silence reigns. An ideal setting to come to contemplation. To pause and turn inward. To gain new insights by reflecting in silence. And to develop personal leadership and new momentum from these insights.
Contemplation in Winter Silence
On Traditional Wooden Skis
We seek winter, its silence and clarity, far away from the comfortable, yet hectic everyday life. We live simply and come to rest: six days without watches, phones and computers. The program is a journey of discovery into silence. To become aware of what has shaped us, where we are in life and what drives us. To clarify and integrate thoughts, feelings and desires. To gain clarity, and to come to terms with ourselves.
We encounter winter silence during day trips on traditional wooden skis and even more during a starry night in the snow. Hours of silence alternate with reflections around the fireplace of our accommodation, a historic Norwegian mountain hut.

WINTER RETREAT
Itinerary & Location
You get to the 6-day winter retreat via Oslo Airport and a train connection to Hanestad. A joint taxi trensfer will take the group from there to the accommodation lodge. The program will start already in the evening of the arrival day.
The following day there is an introduction to skiing on traditional wooden skis and first tour into the silence of nordic winter. Three more day tours follow. For one night we set up a cold camp in the snow. The lodge is at our disposal during the whole stay.
On departure day, the retreat ends with a joint return transfer to Hanestad station and a corresponding train ride back to Oslo airport.
The retreat is preceeded by an intake interview and a foundation workshop, and followed by an integration workshop and a final coaching session. Additionally, a membership in the FNL-community is included.
