THE SPACE BETWEEN

Fire and Water

Human and Land

Stories

Words

Silence

Laughter

Step into the wild embrace of Ryd Forest, land of green moss, ancient trees, serene lakes and a hidden yurt...

Step into The Space Between, an immersive experience rooted in deep ecology and connection.

These times demand that we are certain, but so many of us feel a deep uncertainty. We inhabit a space between those states.

The sense of jumping between being ‘the together one’ and ‘the mess’.

What does this life between competing forces do to our bodies? To our relationship to mystery?

We have questions and unmet longings that have not been met, because where the fuck can they be met?

We will make a space to language the things that are hard to say and, perhaps more importantly, feel the things that can’t be said with words.

We will bring some of these deeper questions to the trees, to the water, to the fire.

We want to welcome moments of stillness and laughter. To play and take time on the land. Create. We will come together around the fire to tell stories.

This retreat invites you to pour water on the sauna coals, leap into the cold lake, come and gather around the fire.

We’ll avoid earnestness and bullshit at every turn. Welcome laughter as a response.

Free from distractions and the need for perfect answers, we’ll challenge, stir, and ground ourselves in this unique space where fire, water and land meet.

During our time together we will work with

The land
Storytelling
Sauna Sessions
Cold Water Immersion
Fire and Water Ritual
Ephemeral Land Art
Natural firelighting
Fingers in the soil

Come, find what waits in The Space Between
