Our Sanctuary: Borgvattnet, Jämtland
We host our retreats at our private family homestead in the beautiful region of Jämtland, Sweden. Surrounded by old-growth pine forests and pristine frozen lakes, this remote location serves as the perfect environment to relax, recharge, and restore your nervous system. As Alexander says, we invite you to experience the Wim Hof Method in one of the most amazing locations imaginable.
Alongside the guidance of local experts, our family welcomes you to experience true Scandinavian high hospitality. We support your immersion by serving highly nutritious, organic meals crafted from wild and locally sourced ingredients, ensuring you actively reclaim your nutrition while you reset your mind.
Whether you are seeking the thrill of a husky sledding adventure or the profound quiet of a snow-covered forest, our home provides the space you need to disconnect.
The Four Elements of Your Recovery
Our programs focus on holistic, biological reconditioning by engaging directly with the natural world around us.
Air (Breathwork)
Our specialists are accredited wilderness survival guides, certified respiratory coaches, and university neurobiology advisors. Safety and biological precision are our foundations
Water (Cold Immersion)
We guide you into the ice-cold waters of Borgvattnet lake. This controlled cold therapy challenges your system safely, helping you build profound physical resilience.
Earth (Nourishment & Movement)
We actively reclaim your nutrition through workshops on wild foraging, fermenting, and organic cooking. We pair this with barefooting, natural movement, and traditional forest bathing (Shinrin-yoku) to ground your body.
Fire (Restoration)
We prioritize deep recovery. Feel the glowing warmth of a traditional fire out on the ice, or restore your muscles in our authentic wood-fired hot tub and sauna.
