Program
This weekend retreat will offer several different yoga meditation sessions, beautiful nature, a vegan cooking class with wild plants, riding on Icelandic horses, live music, maybe a dip in the ocean, laughter, reflection, a warming fire, and probably some sore muscles. Your yoga meditation classes will be guided by Rebecka Magnusson, an experienced yoga teacher who has taught for over 15 years. Liv och Lotus has nice, well-trained Icelandic horses coached by the experienced and knowledgeable Camilla Persson.
Your vegan cooking course over an open fire will be guided by chef Amanda Besedes who previously ran her own food truck. There is a music and drum circle with singer and songwriter Mikael Ela-Vinda. If you are coming a long way and want to check in already on Friday evening, it is fine for a small supplement so please send an inquiry if needed. On Saturday, Liv och Lotus will divide the rides into two groups to get as much out of it as possible.
