A weekend retreat through yoga, meditation, embodied awareness, and women's wisdom
18–20 September 2026 | Tjärnö, Sweden
Softening into Being is a weekend retreat created as a space to slow down, listen within, and reconnect with what lives inside you.
​
Throughout the weekend, we will explore softness through yin and gentle yoga, meditation, embodied awareness, journaling, group reflection, and teachings inspired by Women in Love with the Divine. Guided practices will be interspersed with silence, shared meals, rest, and time in nature.
​
You will be guided by Erica Bassani and Erica Högsborn, who bring together two complementary approaches: contemplative inquiry and embodied practice.
​
The retreat will take place at Gullnäsgården, a peaceful retreat centre on the island of Tjärnö, surrounded by the sea and the natural landscape of Sweden’s Bohuslän archipelago.
Softening into Being is not about fixing yourself or forcing transformation. It is an invitation to become present with yourself, listen to what is happening inside you, and learn to be sweet to your own body.
​

We look forward to welcoming you.
