Are you ready for some Hygge?

First of all, it's pronounced "hoo-gah"

Now that's out the way, WHAT is it?!


Hygge is a Danish concept that encompasses a feeling of coziness, contentment, & well-being. This is very much a vibe we are aiming to foster with our retreats.


It's a way of living that emphasizes the importance of creating a warm, comfortable environment & enjoying the simple pleasures of life.


Key Elements of Hygge:


  1. Cozy Atmosphere: This involves creating a warm and inviting space, often through soft lighting , comfortable furnishings, & natural materials.

  2. Comfort Food & Drink: Indulging in comforting foods and drinks, such as hot chocolate, baked goods, & warm meals, is central to the hygge experience.

  3. Togetherness: Spending quality time with loved ones, whether it's through a small gathering, sharing a meal, or simply sitting together in a comfortable silence, is a big part of hygge.

  4. Mindfulness & Presence: Hygge encourages being present in the moment, appreciating the simple things, & slowing down.

  5. Nature & Simplicity: Incorporating elements of nature into the home, like plants, wood, or natural fabrics, & embracing a simple, clutter-free lifestyle are also important aspects of hygge.



Psychological Benefits:

Hygge is often linked to the high levels of happiness reported in Denmark. It's about taking pleasure in the small, everyday moments & creating a lifestyle that fosters contentment.


We absolutely adore the concept of Hygge as everything we do here at Natural Health Retreats is centered around creating a lifestyle that you adore, one that is sustainable & keeps you thriving rather than surviving. There are so many elements of our retreat that utilize the concepts of Hygge to really drive home the feel good.
