FINLAND
ancient forest retreat
with Jenn Wooten & Laura Forsyth
March 2027
RESERVATIONS OPEN SOON
As winter begins to soften and daylight stretches longer across Finland’s Arctic forests, a rare stillness fills the air — a balance between the deep rest of winter and the awakening of spring. In this luminous moment, we invite you to journey north to our retreat destination nestled in the pristine spruce forests of Paljakka, Finland.
Here, glass-roofed cabins open to endless skies and ancient trees. By day, light filters through snow-laden branches; by night, the Aurora Borealis often dances above, reminding us of nature’s quiet magnificence.
Space is limited, pleas reserve earl;y.
