The Forest Sanctuary, our home

The Forest Sanctuary is a venue in Tisvilde, the north of Denmark, one hour from Copenhagen

It is a place to connect, explore and remember what it truly means to be human - in all its complexity and beauty.

This venue has its own private entrance to the forest so you at any moment can step out at be among the trees. Just fifteen minutes’ walk along winding paths through pine, birch, and beech trees will bring you to the ocean.

The newly built Hammam is designed for deep relaxation and connection. It features a sauna, steam room and ice bath. Inspired by the traditions of scandinavian sauna "gus", authentic Russian banya, and, of course, the Moroccan and Turkish Hammam.

Emily, retreat host and facilitator

Emily’s passion for bringing people together is the driving force behind this special retreat.

On the verge of a new beginning, we need to not only set intentions for the future but also process the past. For the last four years, Emily has been facilitating movement and journaling workshops around the New Year; this time, her dream of being intentionally together has expanded into this full retreat experience.

This is a counter-movement to the "New Year, New Me" mentality. It is not about making resolutions just to tick off boxes and feel a sense of achievement, but about the slow transformation that happens silently and almost invisibly

- when we start to appreciate life’s tiny, magical moments, look at the past with compassion, and dream of a future filled with hope and love.
