Retreat with Ellen Engvall – a unique weekend at Bokenäset
We are proud to welcome Ellen Engvall – midwife, yoga therapist and founder of HormonyYoga – to Destination Bokenäset. Ellen is a pioneer and source of inspiration in women’s health and personal development. With over 20 years of experience and thousands of women trained through her Women’s Academy, she has become a leading voice for women’s inner balance, hormonal health and joy of life. Her warmth, deep knowledge and ability to guide women back to their own power make every meeting with her something very special.

Land in yourself – your inner garden
This weekend is an invitation to step out of doing and return to being. A reminder that there is a place where we can always find peace and recovery – within ourselves, in our inner garden.
The last month of the year, when darkness falls early and the pace around us quickens, it's easy to lose yourself. Especially for us women who often try to meet the needs and expectations of others. We are pulled away from our inner truth and live in a constant struggle between what is expected of us and what our body and soul really need.
When we are not present within ourselves, our energy is scattered and stress increases. Neuroscience shows that prolonged stress and lack of inner presence activate the body's stress system, which leads to hormonal imbalance, increased inflammation and reduced well-being. For women, this imbalance is particularly complex, because our hormones follow cyclical, rhythmic patterns that are crucial for our physical, mental and emotional health. This applies to women of all ages, from puberty and throughout life. Landing within oneself in presence is therefore a fundamental prerequisite for health and quality of life. A path back to vitality and joy of life.
With the help of HormonyYoga – Medical Yoga for Women, Yoga Nidra, knowledge and conversation and you get time to land in depth. Here you get to recover, recharge and listen to what is really important - for you. You get the opportunity to create clarity about who you are and what you want to be for yourself and others.
This weekend is an ending – and a beginning. A break that reminds you of who you are, beyond all roles. A weekend that will strengthen your ability to remain within yourself – safe, true and whole.
Welcome to land in your body, in your heart and in your natural place!
