WTF IS THE MAMA VILLAGE RETREAT?

 

We’ve been dreaming about gathering at Shambala Gatherings for 3 years now. We got Covided (yes, it’s a verb).

And now we need this more than ever and IT’S HAPPENING!!!

This is a playdate for mamas.

It is a transformative experience designed to get you back to feeling YOU.

You will move, breathe, eat, share, connect, reflect, stretch, go inward, go outward + experience the magic that happens when a small group of rad mamas get together and create space for each other.

Our intention is that you get a chance to rest, digest & restore. In nature.
We hope that you leave feeling nourished, mentally awake, physically leaner & lighter, emotionally and socially supported, and spiritually teased with future visions.

Not so into the woo-woo stuff and only wanna come for the food and the pampering? That’s totally acceptable, as it will be delicious!

Yes, come connect with nature in the breathtaking beauty of the Swedish forests of Bergslagen.

Enjoy connecting with a community of like-minded mamas.

Take some quiet time for yourself for some self-reflection.

Getting There...


The dense forests of Bergslagen around Skinnskatteberg, are a fantastic place to encounter the very best of Sweden’s wildlife. Other than enjoying its abundant flaura and lush beds of moss, the magnificent ”king of the Swedish forest”, moose – otherwise known as elk – can be seen here in its natural habitat, and the many lakes and watercourses are home to the beaver.

The area has also proven to be one of the best regions in Sweden to see other wildlife such as wolves, bears, lynx and owls. Being located just two hours away from Stockholm, the area is easily accessible and makes a great option for a short break wildlife destination.

*(OPTIONAL)
Additional Pampering Services

 

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (CST)

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. Using a soft touch, this deeply relaxing treatment guides you into a profoundly healing state, where your body and mind are allowed to unwind and clear long held tensions.

Cost: 750kr

Duration: 1 hour

WATER MEDITATION

When you are going into a floating tank, you have no senses to relate to. It’s completely black with no sounds; you are floating in saltwater with warm skin temperature so you relax totally – this brings you faster to a deeper meditative state, strong connection to yourself and a very deep relaxation. Floating decreases stress hormones in the blood and increases the excretion of endorphins that control pain and stress.

Cost: 300Kr

Duration: 1 hour

FAQS:

 

Normally the term retreat kinda makes me gag. Why should I join? 

Because the food will be yummy and the post retreat effects are better than napping. We really just want to create a space to treat you.

Can I bring my kids?

We recommend you to come solo, to take this as a time to disconnect from them and connect with you. But if that is not possible, feel free to email us: wearemotherwild@gmail.com to see if we can find an accommodation that will work well for you and your babe <3
