The Motherland Retreat is a mid-summer gathering on the beautiful island of Styrsö, nestled in the Kattegat off the coast of Western Sweden.
This retreat is a unique blend of Liz Zamorski and Henrik Friberg's signature spiritual styles, weaving together our admiration of this sacred land, our knowledge of various healing modalities, and our loving dedication to creating an inclusive and supportive community (modifications will be made to the program to accommodate all levels of ability and mobility).
Through forest bathing, deep conversations, and fun summer activities that will reactivate your connection to your own spirit, our intention is to guide you back to balance and remove the blocks you've been holding about your life and your purpose.
You can also expect quirky jokes and spontaneous island adventures because that's how we roll!

Retreat Highlights
Accommodation
We will be staying at S:t Olavsgården, the local retreat center on Styrsö.
S:t Olavsgården is located at the end of a quiet dirt road and is just steps away from the ferry stop, beach, and forest.
S:t Olavsgården is traditional European-style accommodation, which means cozy and functional but no frills.
Food & Drinks
What's on the menu?
Fresh summer food that replenishes your soul and nourishes your body! The west coast of Sweden is known for its seafood and abundance of summer vegetables. We'll be incorporating local flavors and produce to give you a full Swedish summer experience.
We will also be hosting a traditional Swedish Midsommar party!
All allergies will be considered, but please note that S:t Olavsgården is not nut-free and it is not a celiac-safe kitchen.
Note: this is not a strictly alcohol-free retreat. You are welcome to imbibe responsibly in the evenings after our sessions have concluded for the day.
