Hilde, Molly & Sam are collaborating once again to bring you a rejuvenating 4 day mountain retreat with sauna ritual, wild swims, mountain walks, yin yoga, breathwork and nourishing food to enrich the soul. In the mountains, there is a space where the body can rest, the breath expands, and the mind becomes quiet. Through these nourishing practices in stillness, movement, and moments of song, Hilde, Molly & Sam invite you to land in yourself and in nature.
These rituals and practices offered are about cultivating presence and connecting to your inner sanctuary. Here, there is no right way, no expectations. Just the mountains, your body, your breath, and whatever unfolds when you give yourself time to slow down and take in the powerful energy of the stunning nature around.
Sauna Rituals
A guided sauna experience with Hilde.
This two-hour ritual includes four sauna sessions, each followed by peaceful breaks with time to rest, breathe, drink tea, and enjoy refreshing cold dips.
Hilde takes you deep into Norwegian nature, into the mountains, and into yourself—a journey through time and place. Hallingskarvet 2.0: an experience with the mountain right at your side.
Guided Mountain Walk
A shared walk through the beautiful landscape surrounding Nøsen.
We walk together—sometimes in silence, sometimes in conversation.
With Hilde, you are invited to look up, look down, lie in the moss, listen to the sounds, observe the colors, and find stillness.
In our busy lives, we often rush through beautiful moments without noticing them.
With Hilde, nature comes close.
Cold Water Bath
A shared bathing experience.
We walk together down to the lake below Nøsen and bathe in cold, clean, fresh Norwegian mountain water. Here, you can swim and drink at the same time.
Blissful Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra & Gentle Breathwork
Join Molly and explore restorative yin yoga postures which you can melt into and completely relax. Using the power of your breath, allow the body to open and let go of any stress, slipping into a restful state of mind. Soothe the nervous system, restore your energy levels by giving yourself the gift of slowing down and turning inwards to honour exactly what your body needs. Tune in to the nature around you, set intentions, move, breathe and simply relax with ease. Enjoy a guided chakra meditation, gentle breathwork to release and reset, and deeply relaxing yoga nidra (yogic sleep). Molly invites you to listen to your body and receive in her blissful restorative practices.
Sauna Ceremony
Sam & Molly from Heal Saunas host invigorating Sauna Ceremonies. An ancient ritual of release, connection and renewal inspired by Scandinavian & Eastern European sauna practices.
A 2 hour guided multi-sensory experience journeying through the seasons, with hot and cold therapies, natural homemade skin treatments, foraged leaf whisks to massage the body, and therapeutic herbal infusions all picked from their herb garden.
Immerse yourself in the contrast of deep heat with multiple 10-15 minute rounds in and out of the sauna, bathe amongst natures healing gifts as the foraged leaf whisks direct the steam around the sauna allowing you to release layers of built up stress and tension. Sam and Molly offer 1:1 bodywork with the whisks creating a safe environment for you to deeply release and let go, dropping into your body's wisdom.
This nourishing sauna ceremony brings you closer to nature, yourself and others. An experience taking you deeper into the possibilities of sauna and ritual. Open your heart & mind and receive the healing benefits of nature, community, and deep heat as Sam & Molly take you on this one of a kind journey.

She knows the mountain, what grows around us, and the animals that live there.
