Finnskogen Retreat

Finnskogen Retreat is a great place for finding peace and looking inside. I have been there three times and it always feels like coming home. I love the tasteful decorated old cabins, the kitchen and the meditation room, heated with a fireplace in the cold season. The place is located in the middle of the large woods, with lots of possibilities for hiking, and the beach of a great forest lake is only a couple of hundred meters down the road. I have received profound meditation instruction here, met open minded and welcoming people and Bodil who runs the place is a really warm and friendly host. I’m coming back!

Nydelig sted med historiske bygninger og fantastisk atmosfære! Her finner en roen midt i skogen. Fokus på nærhet til naturen med delikate, enkle og funksjonelle fasiliteter. Bodil er en fasinerende og klok kvinne med et varmt hjerte. Rik på livserfaring og visdom. Anbefales på det varmeste!

Et fantastisk sted med nydelig atmosfære. Alltid en glede å være der, og det er som regel noen flotte mennesker til stede. Lokasjonen er fantastisk; selve senteret er for seg selv, nært vann og omkranset av vakker skog - anbefales på det sterkeste.

This place is pure magic <3 Its like time traveling and at the same time going to a life style I felt was timeless. Simple and full of beauty, regenerative and harmonic with its surroundings.They hold many types of events and spaces, yet all in alignment with connection to your self and harmony... The center spins around service, its something you can feel and see. If you look for silence, own space, reflect, simplicity, deep connection and ease this place carries you there since the first moment you get there the attunement starts.Knowing so many that has been there and come home feeling so good, I finally can testify this is real, this place and Bodil (the guardian, keeper, owner and light of the place) are pure medisin... a statement of love <3I feel so blessed to have been there, and I am really looking forward for next time being there... hopefully soon <3sending love to Bodil, Finnskogen Retreat and all the family around it,dearly,yasmin

Jeg har holdt flere retreater på Finnskogen Retreat, og elsker stemningen, de gode og vakre tre-bygningene, badstuen, innsjøen like ved og den støttende naturen rundt. Er perfekt sted for å gå i dybden av seg selv og utforske ekspanderende praksiser sammen. Bodil Skadberg som har bygd opp og eier stedet er varm, inspirerende og imøtekommende og hennes bidrag til den deilige atmosfæren på stedet er uvurderlig. Jeg føler meg alltid trygg, velkommen og ivaretatt på Finnskogen Retreat. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

A magic land! One of my favourite places in this world! I feel so grateful I traveled from the other side of the world but I found such a wonderful place and met beautiful people and their supportive community. The place is surrounded by endless nature and wildlife and I can see how much love their put in a land, so if you love a peaceful place to clear your mind, love listening to the silence of nature, you will fall in love with this place like I do. :) Simple but very cozy rooms and cabins, with delicious nutritious vegetarian food, everything is prepared with their love and care for every beings and for nature as well. Many good programs for meditations, yoga or inner explorations, you can also go for a hike in the forests (i loved it! :) I felt calm, relaxed and also energized during my stay here and felt like home with their warmest welcome from the kindest owner with her sincerest heart and their motivated and caring team ❤Heartfelt thanks to Bodil and every beings on her beautiful retreat for making this became one of my most precious moments in my life, hope to be back so soon! ❤

I love this place!Each visit brings me closer to my innermost sense of peace and self-love.Finnskogen Retreat has been created carefully by an amazing woman, Bodil, who together with the people she attracts has managed to make every little corner of this place ooze natural beauty.Love and presence live in the walls — which I experience here as fine lines between the natural beauty that lives deep inside us all and in the nature around us/the retreat.

Jeg er så takknemlig for dette stedet og hva det har gitt meg når jeg har behøvd det. Et rom der fokus flyttes til her og nå, et rom for ro og hvile, for stimuli, for å være stille, for å le, danse og synge, for å si det en tenker og mener, eller tiden til å skrive det ned. Her kan følelsene og tankene få plass. Ærlighet og åpenhet. Trygghet. Det varme hjertet til Bodil verner om stedet og naturen minner oss på hvem vi egentlig er. Takk <3

Et fantastisk sted hvor man virkelig kan senke skuldrene og finne ro fred!
