RETREATS AND TRAININGS IN SCANDINAVIA

TEAM
Kontemplation is shaped by the contribution of people with diverse skills and experience. We share an interest in approaches to contemplative practice and sustainable living that make sense in a contemporary context.
Our contemplative practice library is mainly in Scandinavian language, but we work on making it more inclusive also embracing our international students. Please bear with us while we gradually update the library with audio files and videos in English and German.
The practices can be streamed or downloaded to support and inspire your home practice.

We are based in Denmark, but our activities extend on a regular basis to Norway, Germany and the US.
Our retreats are primarily set on the wild shore of the North Sea, in the beautiful retreat center Øster Løkke. Our urban contemplative programs are based in the city of Aarhus and our weekend programs take place in the meditation community Vækstcenteret in Nørre Snede.
