Kadermo Retreat

06/12/2025

Wishing you all a peceful independence Day! 💙

As Finland celebrates its independence,
may we each find our own way to return to stillness,
to stand gently in who we are,
and to honor the inner freedom that this practice cultivates in us.

Wishing you a peaceful day from our island sanctuary.

Kadermo is on it's winter rest now, waiting for spring to unfold again.

As the days grow colder, it feels beautiful to return to these memories from last summer at Kadermo Retreat. 🌿

Light on the water. Energetic mornings in the shala. Practice unfolding in its own rhythm.

Smiles and moments of presence that still live in the body.

Thank you for being part of the island’s heartbeat.

Our next retreat will open the season again at Easter — we look forward to welcoming you back to Kadermo!

The island is quiet now. 🍂

After a full season of practice and connection, Kadermo enters its winter rest.
The sea turns still, the oak trees stand bare, and silence fills the shala.

🔸 Our next gatherings will take place during the Easter 🔸 when spring returns and the island awakens again.

Until then, may your practice continue softly and gently.

We're looking forward to seeing you again at Kadermo island!

The Autumn Retreat period is now unfolding on Kadermo island. 😊

And there is still time to join us for the weekend!

The Autumn Weekend Retreat begins on 17.10.
You can stay for 2 or 3 days (17.–19./20.10.) and immerse yourself in Ashtanga yoga, pranayama, and the quiet of the archipelago.

Even a short retreat can be enough to reset, renew, and reconnect.

The retreat begins soon - final call!

From 12.–20.10.2025, Kadermo island becomes a space to pause the demands of daily life.

Here, practice is steady and grounding, not another goal to achieve, but a way to return to yourself.

For many who live with constant deadlines and high expectations, these days bring something rare: simplicity. A chance to breathe without hurry, to move without pressure, to let the practice, sea and forest carry you into stillness.

You may join for the week, the weekend, or the full retreat.
If you feel called, now is the last change to join.

On the island, days are shaped by practice and rest rather than clocks or screens. 🌊
There is a different kind of stillness when you arrive at a place only accessible by boat.

Time unfolds at a quieter pace — through silence, the forest, and the rhythm of the sea.

And if you wish to take it as a work holiday, that is also possible. With Wi-Fi and a cozy library, some choose moments of focus between practices. Others let go completely into rest.

It is your retreat, a space to shape in the way you need most right now.

The next retreat begins already on 12.–20.10.2025.
Now is the moment to reserve your place.
