Into Presence – New Year’s Retreat

Yoga, Meditation & Rejunevation

Dec 29, 2026 – Jan 1, 2027

near Rørvig (Nakke hage) in Denmark (1h30 outside Copenhagen)

Step into 2027 feeling fresh, clear, and inspired.

The end of the year is the opportunity to reflect and integrate what has happened in the last year and make space for the new one.

For this new year’s threshold, you’re invited to spend four days & three nights in the peaceful and nature scenery, resourcing yourself with daily yoga, meditation, sauna, nature walks, and time to “just be” – away from the frantic celebrations of the city!  

Quietude, rejuvenation, and a warm heartfelt presence will be the key qualities you can expect to experience and cultivate during your retreat.

The retreat takes place over four days and three nights, rhythmed by daily yoga, meditation, personal reflection, outdoor sauna & hot tub, 3 delicious vegetarian meals, and free time for you to rest or walk around the area.

Your guides, Cédric & Cecilie

You will be hosted by Cédric, warm-hearted and experienced yoga and meditation teacher based in Copenhagen and the main facilitator for the entire retreat. Returning for his already fourth new year’s retreat at Kirsebærgården, Cédric will facilitate a space in which you can awaken to your presence, using the intersection of body, mind, and heart as a doorway.

Cecilie Sofie Svensson will join us for one day. Together, we will cultivate an experience of presence through harmony between feminine and masculine, surrender and action, giving and receiving, yin and yang.

Our intention is for you to step into 2027 present with what matters to you, and in touch with your wisdom; able to discern when to initiate and when to yield.

The venue

“Kirsebærgården” is a remodeled Danish farm, located on the Nakke peninsula (a protected nature reserve Northwest of Copenhagen), app. 1h30 outside Copenhagen. The retreat buildings were completely renovated a few years ago with organic, high-quality material, and decorated for a harmonious, minimalistic, and comfortable interior. The yoga room is beautiful and spacious, with high ceilings, heated floor, and big windows overlooking the surrounding nature.
