Kintsugi Lifestyle Resort – The beginning

In 2020, we had far-reaching plans to organise a retreat in Spain for people, who, like us, sometimes got stuck in life. We had to abandon those plans because of the Covid-19 outbreak. However, the idea did not leave us. After we got married in 2022, the plans kept bubbling and slowly the idea of leaving the Netherlands and setting up a centre elsewhere took off. Finally, in April 2025, we settled down in Furudal, right in the heart of Sweden. Here we bought our dream house and are working on building our dream: a centre for retreats where everyone can disconnect from the stresses of everyday life and reconnect with nature and themselves. Thus was born Kintsugi Lifestyle Resort, a centre for slowing down and healing. Here we have found the ultimate place to connect and heal. The name Kintsugi comes from the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. This is also how we see life. Everyone suffers cracks and fissures in life, and we believe the art in life is to embrace them and see them as part of yourself. Only through complete self-acceptance can you develop into the best version of yourself. We look forward to welcoming you to our piece of paradise and helping you on this journey. Vi ses i Furudal!

What is a retreat?

What is a retreat?

A retreat offers individuals the opportunity to withdraw from their daily lives and focus on spiritual growth and personal reflection. This can take place in serene natural areas or religious centers that provide a peaceful atmosphere. Participants can engage in activities such as meditation, yoga, or workshops aimed at self-discovery and inner peace, allowing them to escape daily distractions.

A morning in silence

How silence in the Swedish forests provides space for new insights. The unspoiled nature and vast forests of Sweden create a unique environment for reflection and contemplation. In this serene space, far away from daily chaos, thoughts can flow freely. The calm sounds of nature, such as rustling leaves, birdsong, and the babbling of a brook, contribute to peace and relaxation.
