A heartwarming transition towards summer with conscious breathwork, cold exposure training, nature immersion, playful movement, yoga nidra, ecstatic dance and cacao ceremony.
In spring, we experience the beginning of a new cycle in nature. Nature comes back to life and a strong primal force comes out again. Energy shifts from yin to yang. As part of the ecosystem we feel that too.
Nature is now pre-eminently the place to connect your own inner strength with this primal force of the earth and to become aware of this new cycle.
Do you want to retreat yourself for a few days to indulge in well-deserved self-care, surrounded by like-minded people and breathtaking Norwegian mountains, while learning some ways to turn inward, relax, optimize your body & mind, light your inner fire and become more resilient towards daily life challenges?
Then this retreat is your perfect match!
You’ll enjoy 6 days full of exploration, reflection, connection and relaxation through invigorating breathwork, meditation, yoga nidra, playful and mindful movement, cold exposure training, ecstatic dance, cacao ceremony and delicious vegetarian food, but you’ll also have free time for yourself to let it all digest and to meet with the other participants.
During the retreat you’ll be in the expert hands of Dirk Janssen (Belgium). He has experience with arranging workshops and retreats centered around cold exposure, breathwork, nature immersion, playful movement and general well being. He already organized 3 retreats at Nøsen, which were very well received by the participants.
Enriching, energizing, refreshing, invigorating, nurturing, amazing, fun, magical, dream, healthy, social, playful, empowering, challenging, community, sharing, informative, connective, growth and inner peace are some of the words with which participants of previous editions summarize their experiences.
About Dirk Janssen
Dirk is an experienced wild wellness guide and breathwork facilitator from Belgium, with an innate love for nature and its elements. He loves to coach individuals, teams and companies on their own journey by letting them experience different ways to optimize their connection with their inner nature and their innate full potential. He applies nature-based wellness practices for this, with the breath as great connector.
His own experience with life and training (Wim Hof Method instructor, forest bathing guide, breathwork facilitator, nature-based coaching and playful movement) make him the ideal guide on the way to a happy, strong and healthy life. Not only for people who are tired and looking for new energy, but also people who are curious about their strength and focus. Don't expect escapism, a floaty approach or an escape from society with him. He shows you the power of nature as a complement to everyday life and gives you practical tools to guide you through the rat race.

In a number of exceptional cases, however, it is better not to participate in the cold training. As a precaution, it is advised not to participate if you are pregnant or suffer from epilepsy or Raynaud’s syndrome type 2. If you have a cardiovascular condition or other serious health problems (adrenal exhaustion and kidney disorders, uncontrolled thyroid disorders, recent surgical procedures or injuries, burnout, etc.), you should consult your GP before taking part.
