The Nordisk Witherwill Retreat programme includes:

• How We Weather Life Together – a reflective session with psychotherapist and retreat host Julia Samuel MBE, exploring what helps us navigate life’s inevitable changes and challenges. Drawing on nearly forty years of therapeutic experience, Julia will explore how our relationships, inner resources and connection to others help us adapt, build resilience and find our way through difficult times.
• SaunaGus – Kurhotel Skodsborg’s signature wellness experience by Tania Bill Petersen. An aromatherapy sauna in which a Gusmester uses a swirling towel or fan to infuse the air with pure essential oils giving a mild scent that – combined with the heat – enhances relaxation. Each sauna session ends with a dip in The Sound to juxtapose the extreme heat and push guests’ physical and mental limits.
• Skodsborg Steam – another form of effective contrast therapy, in which Tania Bill Petersen weaves in aromatherapy and soundtracking. Taking place in the steam bath, the Gusmester-cum-apothecary leads an ancient whisking ritual using birch and eucalyptus leaves, followed by a bespoke-made exfoliating face and body scrub of rose, lavender, coconut, aloe vera, salt and sugar. Unlike a traditional sauna, the steam bath offers a more humid heat and a lower temperature: the steam eases breathing, improves circulation and amplifies the effect of the exfoliating treatments. As with SaunaGus, the experience ends with a cold dip in The Sound or the spa’s cold plunge.
• Breathwork and Breathing Body session – a breathwork and movement practice designed to bring inner balance and mental clarity, led by Danish breathwork expert, Kristina Lumens. This session supports relaxation, energy balance and increased body awareness, taking place at a safe and calm pace, at which everyone can participate regardless of experience.
• Full access to Kurhotel Skodsborg’s award-winning 100m² spa offering an impressive 16 different cooling and warming experiences, plus access to all fitness classes (must be booked in advance; T&Cs apply).
• Two nights in a standard double room on a single occupancy basis.
• All meals featured in the retreat itinerary including: breakfast, lunch, drinks and dinner.
