lapland, finland, december 7-13th, 2026
Into the Wild lapland is a unique chance to take a moment for you. To dive deep into your wild woman self. To rediscover the wonder and beauty of both earth’s nature and cultures. To gain the experience of enjoying the extremely gorgeous sights of finland’s countryside and villages, being immersed in beauty and experience, and to enjoy this all with other women.
This is not a vacation. It is an exhale.
Come unite in one of the most phenomenal wintry scenes earth: Lapland, Finland! In December, Lapland feels like the world has been gently turned down. Snow softens everything. The light lingers in shades of blue and rose. Even time seems to slow. This retreat is designed for women who are living full, colorful lives and are ready for something rare, beautiful, and quietly exhilarating.
Your days are filled with moments that feel both playful and deeply grounding. Reindeer gliding through silent forests. Sauna heat followed by crisp Arctic air that leaves you buzzing and clear. Dinners where laughter comes easily and conversations can go deeper than usual. And then there are the Northern Lights. Not a performance, not guaranteed, but humbling when they arrive, reminding you how magnificent it feels to be small in the best possible way!
Lapland is different from the trips you have already taken. No packed itineraries. No crowds jostling for photos. No pressure to be anything for anyone. Instead, there is spaciousness, beauty, and a sense of wonder that quietly rewires you. It is adventurous without being exhausting, luxurious without being flashy, and joyful without trying too hard.
This retreat is for women who value comfort, curiosity, and connection. Women who love to laugh, appreciate thoughtful details, and know that the most memorable experiences often come wrapped in stillness, snow, and surprising delight. If you are craving something unforgettable rather than ordinary, this trip to Lapland in December 2026 may be exactly what you have been waiting for.
