Mindfulness Retreat at the Silver Birch Resort

The Mindfulness Retreat happens on our own private peninsula, and invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the present moment through yoga, relaxation techniques, a tranquil canoe excursion and a visit to a serene reindeer farm.

Set against a backdrop of unrivaled natural beauty and 24-hour sunlight and warmth, days unfold gently with guided meditation, mindful movement, and nourishing cuisine crafted to support both body and mind. Upon arrival, the retreat starts with Yin Yoga & singing bowls - sink into deep relaxation with a nourishing Yin Yoga practice, where long, gentle postures invite stillness, openness, and release.

The following morning, the day opens with Gentle Flow before we sit down together for breakfast, after which the day continues with a Mindfulness Workshop, where through reflection and group sharing, you’ll gain practical tools to carry mindfulness into everyday moments, cultivating greater balance, focus, and ease. The morning concludes with a mindful walk in nature focusing on sensory awareness practices.

After a free afternoon, the evening is spent drifting through gentle lake waters on a relaxing canoe trip where time slows down and nature surrounds you. Let the rhythm of your paddle quiet the mind as you take in the soft sounds of birdsong and the peacefulness of the local lake. A perfect escape to unwind, reconnect, and simply be, it sets you up for a restful night ready for your final morning and a visit to a traditional reindeer farm located on the shore of Sierijärvi Lake. This quintessential Lappish reindeer farm instils one with calmness and bliss, leaving you in awe of these majestic animals.

Whether you’re seeking to release stress, deepen your practice, reconnect with yourself, or simply rediscover a sense of inner calm, this retreat offers the space to pause, reflect, and realign. Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected — ready to carry mindfulness into your everyday life.
