BLOOM:
MidsummER
retreat
JUNE 18th-21st
Shambala Gatherings, Sweden
An ecstatic midsummer retreat blending sacred ceremony, yoga, kirtan, nature immersion and ancient wisdom to celebrate Earth’s abundance & creative power.
Not a typical midsummer
MIDSUMMER is the highlight of the summer in Shambala, and we warmly invite you to join us in an ecstatic celebration of all that the Earth bestows upon us.
During the summer solstice, a unique window of opportunity opens, allowing us to fully blossom in all aspects of our being.
Nature envelops us with her vibrant creative energy, while the harmonious union of masculine and feminine forces reveals nature’s abundance, beauty, and fertility—a time to revel in Mother Earth’s generosity.
This is not your typical Swedish Midsummer; it’s a sacred, multidimensional ceremony that intertwines ancient pagan traditions with Eastern spirituality.
Let this be a moment of joy, stillness, and devotion—a sacred space to rest, sing, and express your true self.
Experience nourishment for the body through somatic movement therapy, immersive nature healing practices, uplifting kirtans with our musician friends, gentle yoga, and endless swims in the tranquil waters of our lake.
Together, we will gather in circles adorned with flowers and receive blessings from the four elements.
Through yoga, Vedic art, and music, we will embody the essence of life, love, and creative expression.
We will honour Mother Earth’s most fertile season while guiding you into a deep, embodied presence with yourself.

SOMATIC MOVEMENT THERAPY
A way of being with yourself and your body that regulates your nervous system and brings you into deeper presence in your body. In movement therapy you let go of tensions, integrate life, and express what your body holds on to so that it can be released from your body.
YOGA
In our Yoga classes, we find the grounding and rest needed to balance this time of fullness and high frequency. We’ll be journeying through gentle hatha yoga classes and restful sooting afternoons, with meditative yoga, Yoga Nidra and puja.
KIRTAN
Kirtan (ecstatic singing) is a way to connect your heart with others, and then feel the divine presence together. We cleanse the dust we all gathered on top of our pure being and channel our emotions towards higher power and blissfulness.
VEDIC ART
Vedic art is a way to explore your inner world of visions, longings and emotions on a canvas. You don’t have to have any previous experience of painting. On the contrary, the less ideas about how to paint the better. You will be gently guided into expressing whatever wants to flow from your heart onto the canvas.
NATURE IMMERSION & RITUALS
You will be guided in nervous system regulating practices that deeply soothe your body and brings you in deep connection with the earth as a spiritual being.
