Arctic Hideaway Retreat

There's something truly special and dear to my heart about the smell of the sea, and the sound of seagulls over ocean waves. The wild and untamed nature where steep mountains runs straight down into shorelines, under the midnight-sun or northern-lights depending upon which season. Growing up in such an environment, I think one naturally accepts the worldview that there's only so much in life you can control, and that we're always living our lives at the mercy of nature. However terrifying that might sound for the times that we're going through right now, I'm sure that people before us were equally terrified at the merciless power and rage of nature. But maybe with a little bit more respect and sense of connection to the reality of our existence, than we are capable of today in our modern day of living.

Humbled by the at times brutality of nature, I'm also in awe of its endless beauty and potential. I feel that there's nothing more calming and grounding than to be reminded of how small I am in the great scheme of things. The vast, ever-changing, infinity of nature puts me in my place, connects me to my core and a sense of belonging, makes me remember how utterly co-dependent I am on everything around me... and thats's a relief! I'm not here to run or rule anything. I'm here to coexist, and to just be. I vividly recall how after moving and living in a so-called 'big city' for just a few weeks, I felt completely overwhelmed and had this strong impulse to bring myself down to the dock of the fjord, just to sit and smell the air of saltwater. Deep down I've always known, and I know that this is something I need more than any endless-, mindless-, non-stopping, busy-living, consumer-culture indulgences. Still I often forget, and let myself get pulled into the race of hustling and bustling, trying to get ahead of I don't know what?
