Rise & Root is a six-day retreat in the Novanta valley that welcomes nature as a metaphor for inner renewal
During our retreats, we invite you to soften, to feel what the land gives you. Here, transformation doesn’t need to be loud. Sometimes a tiny seed is enough to shift your whole direction. Back to the essentials, rediscover what truly matters to you and what you want to create.
Through yoga, creative workshops, mindful cooking, and nature rituals, participants reconnect with themselves and the rhythm of the season.
DARE, (DAY)DREAM and TRANSFORM.
- Providing fresh, seasonal, and nourishing food, with opportunities to participate in cooking experiences.
- Offering yoga, meditation, and mindful movement in diverse natural settings.
- Facilitating creative and connecting activities that support personal growth and group bonding.

About the teachers
Nienke
My first introduction to yoga came when I was 18 and travelling through India. What started as a way to find balance gradually became a meaningful part of my life – a practice that helps me to breathe, feel grounded and reconnect with what truly matters. Six years ago, I experienced something on this mountain that changed me. Novanta showed me that life doesn’t always need to be in fast forward. Here, time slows down. Nature speaks. And when you allow yourself to pause, something inside begins to shift.
“I want participants to feel what the mountain can give to you and allow themselves to experience transformation, big or small”

This valley has always felt like a homecoming to me, a place to slow down, breathe deeper, and return to what truly matters. Here, surrounded by the mountains, I have learned, grown, and gently stepped beyond my comfort zone. I believe in the transformational power of this land: its grounding nature, the way it invites connection, trust, and curiosity. It reminds us that growth doesn’t have to be rushed — it can be soft, spacious, and supported.
