Register now with the early bird discount
MOTHERING THE MOTHER ALONGSIDE OF HER CHILD A retreat designed for mothers with their young child. She who easily takes care of others and now it is time to let herself be taken care of. Five days of dwelling into the feminine while receiving the most soft and gentle treatments. Creating the exhalation she has been longing for without needing to separate from her young child. A time to unwind, reconnect, soften, create and receive while your young child gets the chance to explore, play, create and be outdoors in the most magnificent natural surroundings.
This retreat will take place on the fertile soil of Sweden on a 74-hectare ecological regenerative farm, a haven for diverse ecosystems. This retreat will take place far away from everyday life and close to nature. It is a retreat for you to regenerate from within. An invitation to nourish your soul, mind and body deeply.
WHY A RETREAT FOR MOTHERS & THEIR CHILDREN?
Young children are still very much wired to the nervous system of their mother. As such, proximity to the mother feels like a basic need to them, and the same goes for the mother who naturally feels the need to keep her child close as well. Yet somehow nowadays society decided to break mothers away from their children during the early years, which leaves many mothers feeling empty, depleted and mostly thorn apart.
May this retreat be an opportunity and experience to feel nourished without needing to leave your child behind. Children for this retreat are welcome from 7 months - 3,5 years.
Some love notes about the location
Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Sweden, you will find a magnificent yoga shala with a view over the lake, a sauna with stunning views and a natural swimming pond. What a dream. Wholesome and nourishing food that is prepared by the farm’s chef, comes straight from the organic farm into your belly. The food will be served in their incredible orangery which will leave you in a dreamy state full of gratitude and love.
Sustainability is a number one’s priority of this retreat accommodation. In all they do, they strive to go beyond sustainability to a net-positive impact. Not only do they want to reduce their environmental footprint, nor do they want to be neutral. Here you will experience innovative solutions that contribute positively to the environment around us. The future of your children.
Around the retreat accommodation you will find blossoming and diverse gardens with pond environments, a variety of different edible plants, bee hives, flower meadows, insect hotels, butterfly restaurants and much more. Their goal is to surround you with an ecosystem as rich and inspiring as possible that also provides the key ingredients to the organic food that will be served.
5 days of receiving, creating and celebrating
And so you arrive. Finally. Finally there is time away from the doing. You arrive and everything is been taken care of. From the gorgeous location surrounded by nature, to the belly nourishing local, organic and seasonal food. You discover the lasting change that happens from spending time in nature. You are nourishing your foundation, the soil and the earth as you firmly root your feet in the ground.
Summer is deeply represented by both the Mother’s archetype. A deeply creative and nurturing time to devote yourself to connection in a supportive field of women. It is a time represented by unconditional love and a time to express yourself authentically.
What better way to discover what it feels like to live in community with other mothers, where your children roam and explore freely in nature, are guided through creative activities and free play while you get a chance to rest and replenish yourself.
Through sensory experiences like a sound journey, soft movement, yoga, sauna, gentle touch and belly nourishing food, your whole nervous system will instantly calm down. Allowing yourself to dwell into a receptive state. Receiving never was so easy before. Time for you. Time to reconnect, time to breathe.
Inviting intuitive creation through a diversity of creative workshops and ritual experiences while letting your soul be carried away by the depths of ceremony and the breathtaking presence of nature.
Your child will get the chance to explore life in nature with other children under the presence of a trained Steiner/Waldorf teacher who’ll organise the most amazing activities for your child’s development and sense of satisfaction while you get to have some time for yourself while still being in close proximity of your child.
The days will be organised in such a way that there is enough free time, ‘me’ time and ‘together’ time. Meaning that there will be activities for the mothers only, activities for the children only, activities for yourself and activities for everyone all together. Creating a rhythm that feels most natural, rejuvenating and comforting to mind, body and soul for both you and your child.

Moika ・ Sita Navbir
Moika invites you to a slower and more conscious way of living, where there is space to follow your natural rhythm as a woman, where there is space to breathe, to to be.
She invites you to reconnect with nature, in a way you may have forgotten.
Her unique alchemy of subconscious work combined with conscious work while interweaving tao and tantric practices immediately puts you in a different field of receiving.
She invites you to explore the subtle realms of pleasure, deepening your experience for more overall joy and satisfaction in your life.
Through her calming auric field she has a natural tendency to make you feel grounded and at ease.
Having been able to hold space for over 600 women the past few years, she has gathered so many insights and knowledge and is eager to inspire you while being inspired by you at the same time.
Additionally, her love expands from women to their children, having worked in a Steiner school and experiencing first hand how creating a new future starts with our children.
Caro Dewilde
Meet Ines. Mother. Doula, bodyworker and yoga teacher.
Ines ・ Studio Moed
I am Ines—a doula, bodyworker, and yoga teacher. But really, at my core, I have always been someone who feels deeply.
As a child, I was often told I was too sensitive, too soft—that I let things affect me too deeply. Today, that very quality has become one of my greatest strengths.
My pregnancy and motherhood opened up so much in this regard. They held up a mirror to me and brought me closer to something I had known all along as a child: that feeling can also be a form of knowing.
In my work, I guide people in reconnecting with their bodies through touch, massage, breath, and movement. I focus heavily on the nervous system and fascia, tuning in to where the body is holding tension, protecting itself, or seeking space. It is not about forcing anything, but rather slowing down and listening to what is happening beneath the surface.
I remain deeply curious about this process. Why does the body react the way it does? What changes when you breathe, move, or are touched differently? I don’t want to know the answers simply because they are written somewhere; I want to feel and experience them.
That is precisely where my work lies: at the intersection of body, nervous system, and intuition.
Ines will provide each mother joining with a 1-1 mama treatment bodywork session with rebozo.
On top of that, she’ll guide you through a workshop NeuroGlow Facial Massage where you’ll learn techniques like cupping and gua sha to come to a deep relaxation yourself.
A ritual which can accompany you throughout the season of motherhood.

FAQ
I have never practiced yoga before, can I join? Of course, all levels are welcome.
Will there be enough free time? Yes. We will provide some activities, but will leave enough breathing space for you to simply enjoy spending time by yourself, your child, or socialising with the others as well. For all activities: you can choose to do whatever feels right for you in that specific moment so you are not required to participate if you don’t feel like it.
How many mothers and children will participate? Max 6 mothers and max 8 children so the Steiner-Waldorf teacher is able to facilitate each child in their own personal experience and development.
What if I have allergies? All food will be 100% plant based, organic and mostly from the farm. There will be enough options to explore for your child as well. If you have allergies, you can inform us beforehand and we will let our chef know.
How do I reach the location? When you are flying into Stockholm Arlanda Airport, we suggest taking the fast train (Arlanda Express) from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Stockholm. From Stockholm take a train to the city of Nyköping (1 hour). Once you have arrived in Nyköping we can help you arrange a taxi to the location which is a 15 min drive and can be shared with other participants. Let us know if you need any help with the transport, we are happy to help you out to make sure your journey flows smoothly.
How do I travel with my young child? Once the group is complete, we’ll create a WhatsApp group in case you’d like to share your travel journey with other mothers who will be joining to make things easier for you.
