Experience our exclusive +ReCharge 24-hour wellness retreat, a rare opportunity to enter into total stillness, deep rest, and personal renewal at Candlelight Studios. This is a transformative event for those seeking something truly extraordinary – choose from a morning, evening or a full 24 hours of in-depth practice, expert guidance, and recovery.
Held in the unique space of a former church turned sanctuary in Dalarna, Sweden cultural heartland, this intimate retreat brings together world-leading instructors, powerful methods and nutritious meals in a historic space designed for total recovery.
This is more than a retreat. It is a rare chance to restore, recharge, and step into a new level of well-being. For those that seek a much needed digital detox, we offer an ‘air mail’ service where you can send your phone on a retreat of its own and collect it when the retreat is over.

🌬 Wim Hof Method Fundamentals Workshop
Begin your journey with a guided Wim Hof Method Fundamentals workshop led by international instructor Marta Vera from Dublin, Ireland.
