Join us to amazing Lofoten for meditation, summit hikes and kayaking at Lofoten Apartments in beautiful Hopen on September 25 - 29, 2024

 

More adventure - Breathe In Lofoten! Join us to what might be the world’s most beautiful place for meditation, summit hikes and great food at the beautiful Lofoten Apartments. Did we mention the sauna and kayaks?

Meditation - During the trip we’ll learn to be more awake, aware and compassionate through meditation. Axel will guide the meditations during the retreat and you’re welcome regardless if you’re a beginner or a seasoned meditator. You’ll get to try lots of meditations that will help you to be present both on the trip and when you’re back home.

Nature - Lofoten Apartments is a hidden gem in Hopen, between Henningsvær and Kabelvåg. It’s an old fishery that our friends rebuilt into modern standard with a jetty facing the water and with several balconies. Wherever you look you’ll see stunning mountain peaks, ready to be climbed. The surroundings cannot really be described as anything other than amazing.

Adventure - As said, more adventure! Where do we start? On the mountain tops of course. We’ll explore different peaks around Lofoten. Weather permitting, we eat our lunch outside. When we are not meditating, hiking or just being, there is the opportunity to paddle out into the bay water directly from the pier. The hikes are of varying difficulty and really makes us see Lofoten. But, the journey is for you and you decide how adventurous you want to be. Adventures are different for everyone!

Some good things to know before you go on a retreat with us:

 

Our ambition is that our retreats help you become more present, both during the trip and when you return home. We aim to create a space where you can feel safe and be yourself. We (Gustav and Axel) are also involved in most of the activities because we know that it helps us to be present. Welcome!

  • It's your retreat – Through experience we’ve developed a schedule that we know helps us feel grounded and in the present moment. But only you know what you truly need. Therefore we have no rules, no musts and no should. You do what you want and what you need.

  • We’ll go out regardless of the weather – We have discovered that nature helps us to be more present, regardless of the weather. And we can really recommend packing clothes so that you both can come out and come home to yourself in mother nature.

  • Digital detox As said, there are no rules at our retreats. But maybe this is a perfect opportunity for you to put away your phone and instead of focusing on what everyone else is doing, just focus on you? If you want to leave your phone behind, we’ll take care of it for you during the retreat.

  • The food – Our chef Zuzana serves amazing food for tired but happy guests and prepares our packed lunches for the days we’re out exploring. There will be a vegetarian base with elements of seafood. We do not serve alcohol on our trips, however there is no ban. Did we mention homemade bread?

  • Who can book – Of course everyone can come to our retreats, but Lofoten Apartments is unfortunately not accessible for handicapped. It’s also good if you contact us before you book if you have an injury or illness that may be relevant to us. Especially since the summit hikes will be challenging.

 
 

The mountains are calling!

Come on an adventure you’ll never forget.

Lofoten Apartments

“Our story started in 2014 when we bought this hidden gem of a house in Hopen, that for years was left empty and abandoned. We renovated it and made it into a vacation rental getaway. Our vision and drive has always been the possibility to give other people a firsthand experience of how incredibly wild and beautiful this place is – which is also the reason we fell in love with Lofoten many years ago.” – Erik & Fredrikke
