Befriending Winter: A Hygge Retreat at Sterling Forest Lodge

The danish word, Hygge is about simplicity, presence, and connection. It’s a way of life that celebrates nature, and the simple pleasures of life. Wintertime is a particularly good time to work with hygge, because it also involves coziness.

Hygge is the root of the word “hug” after all.
Imagine a long snowshoe through a winter forest, the trees heavy with snow.
Imagine the quiet of the earth, and the crunch of the snow.
Imagine how good it will feel to come inside and warm up by the fireplace and enjoy big mugs of hot cocoa.
Imagine restorative yoga in the lodge with lots of blankets and cushions, and plenty of time for rest and reflection.
Peppermint tea and lots of time in the sauna and rolling in the snow if you feel adventurous.
Winter can be a season of deep rest, inwardness, community, crafting, and outdoor adventures. With no bugs and snow on the ground, the world is transformed and if we are wearing the right clothes, another beautiful world opens to us.
Together we will:
  • Explore the magical forests around the lodge on an Epic half-day snowshoe
  • Enjoy deep rest and relaxation through restorative yoga and yoga nidra
  • Learn fun winter survival skills like shelter building and fire craft so you will always feel prepared
  • Learn about animal tracking and other fun ways to connect nature in wintertime
  • Enjoy Hydro and sauna therapy in SFL’s legendary sauna
  • Enjoy storytelling and song around the fire with friends

Pricing includes:

  • All programming and luxury accommodations at Sterling Forest Lodge
  • Nourishing meals each day with a focus on local, organic ingredients
  • Sauna + cold plunge session
  • Adventures in the woods
  • Time to relax and explore on your own
