Soul Trails
We are thrilled to host weekend long self-guided personal retreats for those who are seeking new direction in life, or needing rest, renewal and fresh perspective. We invite you to carve out time to unplug, and step into a slower pace of being for a weekend in order to care for your soul, body and mind.
About the Retreat
Our carefully designed retreat guidebook will accompany you through creative practices that invite you to a deep exploration of the landscape of your soul, an encounter with nature, self, and the Divine.
You will be staying at a handmade artisan guest house where both your body and soul will rest. Your on-site hosts will assure all the practical details of your personal weekend away have been worked out for a restful retreat experience. Learn more about your hosts and their guest house here.

Guide
The retreat guidebook has been written and designed by a certified spiritual director and experienced retreat facilitator, Kaisa Stenberg-Lee. Kaisa has several years of experience facilitating soul care experiences and offering spiritual accompaniment to people from all backgrounds. You can learn more about Kaisa here.
Note, she is not currently offering one-to-one Spiritual Direction services due to her maternity leave.
Costs
This retreat is on a "trust" pay-as-you-feel basis. Our suggested donation is 60 euros ( or $ 65 ) to cover the hosting expenses. We truly believe that restorative rhythms, such as a weekend away in nature, are not a luxury for the rich but a necessity for all. Your donation will help cover the hospitality costs, and if you are able, sponsor retreatants who have less resources available.
Trail
Map and directions will be provided. We recommend you to come with a hiking companion, for your safety. Also a good physical condition and good hiking shoes are required. Some hiking experience is preferable. However it is not mandatory to venture for an Alpine hike. We can provide a lighter walk or even a wet weather option for your retreat.
Ages: 18+

Soul Trails are available on weekends from May 26th to September 24th, 2023.
