the beat of your
WILD WOLF HEART
This summer, step into a world where nature, community, and deep transformation come together.
Join us for 4 unforgettable nights in the heart of the Swedish wilderness gathering as a village, a tribe, a family.
Under the endless Nordic sky by a lake, we’ll live off the grid, guided by the wisdom of the land . Rooted in the forest school philosophy, we’ll embrace hands-on learning, deep nature connection, and the art of slowing down.
Imagine mornings will begin with the scent of damp earth, burning herbs & resins as we gather in circle, breathing with the forest, stretching into the day with yoga and meditation.
Through barefoot explorations, fire-making, cooking over fire and foraging, we’ll rekindle our primal connection to nature—through learning embodied practical skills. Sound healing will echo through the trees, while the meditative strokes of nature art invite stillness, reflection and presence.
One day will be dedicated to a powerful journey of Grof Breathwork, a psychedelic (without substances), non-ordinary state of consciousness experience guided by breath & music. This profound practice will allow you to access deep layers of your psyche, release stored emotions, and awaken insights beyond the thinking mind. Held in a safe and supportive space, with 3 years trained Grof Breath work specialist Basia. This is a real exclusive special offering of this retreat that can help you immensely in your healing journey.
As the sun begins to set, we’ll gather around the fire, preparing meals together with our hands—chopping, stirring, and sharing stories as flames flicker and embers glow. Cooking over the open fire will be a ritual in itself, a return to simplicity and presence as we nourish both body and spirit with wholesome, grounding food.
We will fire up the Sauna, swim in the clean fresh lake, watch the millions of stars, howl to the moon.
Story telling gazing into the flames of the fire, drums will pulse, voices will rise in song, and music will carry us into the night, creating a sacred space of rhythm, laughter and deep connection.
Day by day we’ll return to a simpler, truer way of being—one that awakens the senses, nourishes the soul, and reminds us of our place in the the great web of life & in the VILLAGE.

The Land
In the deep forest of Småland, 15 km north of Växjö. Ebba's grandparents summer "place" given so many people a taste of true freedom & nature.
Here we are completely surrounded by nature, with no neighbors and located by the beautiful lake 'Innaren'.
Here everything slows down, off-the-grid living with no electricity or running water. We do the dishes by hand and wash ourselves in the lake. Compost toilets. Simple life!

The Embodied Village
A lot of people talking about wanting to connect with nature, sustainability & living in community. We offer a taste of this, an actual REAL, hands on the earth, embodiment of THE VILLAGE.
This is not a retreat, where things are done for you. This is a gathering where you are a part fully a part of the experience. This is a return to the body, to the instinctual knowing of what it means to live in connection—with the land, with each other, with the elements. Together, we step into the pulse of the village, where every action is a felt experience, every moment an opportunity to drop deeper into presence, into belonging.
The Connection —it’s something we feel. It’s the warmth of fire on our skin, the rhythm of hands working together, the scent of woodsmoke curling into the air.
Fire-making is not just about lighting a flame; it’s the crackle of dry bark in our hands, the focused breath coaxing embers to glow, the primal satisfaction of warmth spreading through our fingertips.
Cooking over flames is not just about nourishment; it’s about presence—feeling the weight of the knife, the textures of food, the shared rhythm of preparation. Preparing the food sharing knowledge & stories.
Tarin will share his nutritional recipes, we are sure you have great things to share aswell!
Foraging awakens our senses, guiding us to read the land, listen with our bodies, and trust our instincts.
You will be expected to help

These are not just tasks—they are pathways back to ourselves. By engaging fully, we reclaim ancestral wisdom, strengthen our resilience, and rediscover the deep satisfaction of living in harmony with nature and each other.
The Team of Facilitators
Ebba - Yoga Teacher, Space Holder & Ritualist
I’m Ebba, a devoted yogi, retreat leader, and aspiring forest school guide from Sweden, now based in East London with my partner and two children. My journey with yoga and healing began in 2010, leading me across the world to explore movement, breathwork, meditation, sound healing, shamanism, and the deep wisdom of nature.
My teaching blends Hatha, Prana Vinyasa, Breathwork, and sound healing, infused with my passion for ceremony, dance, and embodiment practices. I’ve led over 25 life-transforming retreats across Ibiza, Thailand, Morocco, Sweden, and beyond, I feel very called to creating memorable experience along side self exploration.
Rooted in my Forest School training, I weave nature into my work—guiding others to rewild, remember, and return home to themselves. Whether through yoga, circles, or deep nature immersion, my intention is to hold space for transformation, joy, and belonging.
Basia Zieniewicz – Breathwork & Yoga Nidra Facilitator
Co-founder of Yoga In the Stars, Basia works with Technologies of the Sacred to gently guide people into liminal realms, supporting deep healing and self-discovery.
An accredited coach and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist under Dr. Stanislav Grof, she is in her final year of Grof®️ Breathwork training, specializing in expanded states of consciousness.
At the gathering, Basia will share Breathwork, Yoga and Yoga Nidra—powerful practices for unraveling, dissolving, and remembering.
Breathwork invites the body’s deep stories to unfold, bridging the seen and unseen, while Yoga Nidra creates a state of profound rest, unlocking creativity and inner wisdom. Through these transformative modalities, she holds space for you to reconnect with your essence and awaken to your wholeness.
With her warmth, kindness & special knowledge she will guide you HOME to yourself.
Tarin – Movement Alchemist, Nature Guide & Fire Cook
Co-founder of Yoga in the Stars, Tarin is a visionary dedicated to empowering love, freedom, and wild self-expression. For over a decade, he has explored the art of reconnection—using yoga, movement, play, music, martial arts and nature immersion to rediscover our most natural state.
At the gathering, Tarin will guide dynamic movement practices, inviting playfulness, spontaneity, and deep embodiment. Expect mud baths, nature play, and joyful explorations, embracing the untamed magic of the elements. As a superb outdoor chef, he will also lead fire-cooking sessions, sharing nourishing recipes that bring people together in ritual and community.
Beyond movement and food, Tarin will weave music and storytelling into the experience, using rhythm, voice, and shared tales to create moments of deep connection around the fire. With an unconventional, experimental approach, he holds space for laughter, presence, and a return to the wild joy of being truly alive.

Laura is a nature-loving soul with a warm, charismatic presence that instantly makes you feel at home.

Beyond that, Laura is our all-around vibe coordinator—bringing warmth, energy, and her laughter will echo in the woods! Whether tending the fire, offering a helping hand, have a heart felt conversation or simply spreading good energy, she’s here to help you enjoy this experience!
Eating & Cooking Workshops at the Wolf Gathering
Cooking, eating, and sharing are at the heart of Wolf Heart Gatherings. Living wild means eating wild—crackling fires, the rich aroma of roasting nuts, and the vibrant colors of fresh, live foods. It’s about relearning how to nourish ourselves naturally.
In our primal past, our diet centred on leaves, nuts, seeds, and fruits—nutrient-dense foods that require less consumption than grains or meats. As your body adapts, digestion becomes more efficient, your stomach returns to its natural size, and growth hormones balance. With movement and mindful eating, your body strengthens, your confidence grows, and one day—you wake a super-hero-warrior wizard.
Daily Eating Flow:
-
Morning: A nourishing, hearty brunch will be prepared for you so you can ease into the day.
-
Afternoon: Healthy snacks will be served to keep you energised.
-
Evening: We gather to cook together—chopping, mixing, and tending the fire, with the scent of spices curling into the air. Interactive Wild Cooking.
We’ll explore recipes built around nuts, seeds, and legumes, drawing inspiration from street foods across five continents. Cooking is a communal experience—experimenting, learning, and taking home a taste of nature to weave into daily life.

How off the grid is the Wolf Heart Gathering?
Phones_
We encourage unplugging as much as possible to fully immerse yourself in the experience. While you’re free to use your phone if necessary, we ask that you keep it away from communal spaces to maintain presence and respect other peoples silence.
Studies show that even a quick glance at your phone can interrupt your flow state, taking up to 8 minutes to regain focus. Disconnecting helps reduce stress, improve mindfulness, and deepen connections with those around you.
If you’d like to capture moments, a communal content phone is available, and all photos will be shared afterward. And don’t forget—keep some battery for the journey home! If you feeling nervous about not having enough battery, bring a power bank.
We also have a brilliant Leica Camera to use for taking pictures.
