MÖLLAN
FOREST NATURE RESERVE: The forest behind Möllan is a protected nature reserve that for almost 200 years has been kept untouched by any kind of forest management and logging. The forest is filled with berries and mushrooms when in season, and there are both paths you can follow or you can go off track. And if you’re lucky, you can spot the occasional moose in here.
LAKES: Möllan lies directly at the shores of a forest lake perfect for swimming in or just sitting and watching the water. The wood-fired sauna hut is also located close to this lake. The lake connects to a larger system of lakes that can be accessed by e.g. canoe or kayak, which are available in the old Mill & Boathouse (read more below).
LAND & GARDEN: Möllan Retreat lies on 2 hectares of land that includes a lushious grass fields, an apple orchard, campsites, a vegetable garden, an outdoor kitchen plus longtable, as well as forests and a river stream running through.

“Having fallen out of many facets of Yoga, I feel ecstatic to have found a teacher who speaks my innate language; Soma-Soul-Psyche in a cyclical yoking. Reflections from our time together continue to reverberate through my days. Thank you for your guidance, Satu, and for showing up human and real. I can’t wait to join another training.”
