aurora awakening

retreating under the northern sky

6 days full of soul in the swedish wilderness

I wanted to create something truly special to end this winter… and so it is. Together with Annelotte and Rick from Skandi Camp, I’m hosting Aurora Awakening: a conscious retreat camp under the northern sky.

For six days, we step into nature- within and without.
A unique blend of raw Swedish winter experiences and deep inner exploration through yoga, meditation, breath, ceremony, constellation work and shared presence.

This is not your regular ‘Bali-yoga-retreat’ (hihi): It’s an invitation to fully embrace winter, so we can gently open ourselves to spring; To new life! This is why we gather around the spring equinox, a natural turning point of the year. A moment of balance.
A celebration of the first light.
Of renewal.

A new begin…

Welcome to Aurora Awakening.

This week takes place around the spring equinox- a moment of balance, renewal, and gentle awakening. A time when nature begins to move again, inviting us to do the same.

Sweden, march 2026

Imagine waking up surrounded by cripsy snowy forests.

A warm cabin.

A day that begins with movement, breath and intention.

Then nature.

Sweet smiles.

Sauna heat on your skin.

Cold lake dips that make you feel more alive than ever!

Snowshoeing, singing, fire circles, deep conversations, silence, stars.

And at the center of it all:

connection; with yourself, with each other, with nature.

Let’s end the winter by embracing the dark,
& Welcome in the first light of spring.

Welcome to Aurora Awakening…

What to expect

• Daily yoga (yin + slow flow + vinyasa, accessible for all levels)

• Meditation & breathwork

• Singing circles (my favourite thing ever)

Every day has a gentle rhythm:

a blend of movement, stillness, nature, and connection.

3 pillars of aurora awakening

inside

Through yoga, meditation, breath and song, we create space to turn inward. To slow down. To listen. To feel what’s been quietly waiting beneath the surface.

This pillar is about reconnecting with your inner world; your body, your breath, your emotions, your truth, your story, your creativity, your voice.
Not to fix anything, but to clean the senses & meet yourself with curiosity and kindness.

Balance

Aurora Awakening lives in the meeting point between inner and outer worlds.

This retreat is intentionally playfully designed as a dance between activity and rest, silence and expression, adventure and integration.

By exploring both the inner landscape and the natural world around us, balance and harmony naturally arises. I believe magic is perceived through clean senses. So we won’t make it more ‘holy’ than we need to, but consciously human, real and authentic.

Outside

Nature as our co-guide.

Through snowshoe hikes, winter walks, optional snowmobile rides, natural ice baths and time in the sauna, we immerse ourselves in the raw beauty of the Swedish wilderness.

Surrounded by pristine forests, frozen lakes and vast northern skies, the outside world invites us to breathe deeper, feel clearer, and reconnect with what truly matters. Goodbye dullness, hello aliveness!

reviews

“Furthermore, Tessa is a STAR at tuning into the person in front of her, with a keen sense of what you need. When you are open and honest about your process, she can recalibrate you on your path if you seem to be straying, ensuring you remain true to yourself. Working with you has been impactful and completely turned my year around. It has taught me to dance with my shadow and darkness. It has taught me to embrace all the colors of life. Working with you has restored my trust in myself.”

“Working with you has been a profound journey of self-discovery. I knew it was the right choice, but I never expected it to be so life (me) changing. In each session, you held space with pure presence and spoke through your intuition. I felt truly seen and understood.”
