Retreats Hesså, Norway
Most of us experience that our mind is not at peace.
It’s always occupied with something: planning, worrying, regrets and daydreaming.
It prevents us from being truly aware of the present moment.
It prevents us from being truly happy.
In this retreat, we will dive into how we can attain a much more peaceful mind,
in this complicated and busy life we live.

The retreat in Norway in beautiful nature provided the optimal conditions for peace of mind and body. Meditation, walks and eating in silence combined with Frank's presentation on Zen created the optimal conditions for contemplation and clarification in relation to priorities and the pace of everyday life.

At the end of May, I attended the Spring Retreat in Norway with Frank. It was a wonderful and in many ways pivotal experience for me. Frank is an authentic person who truly lives the practice he teaches. The retreat included a lot of practice and less theory—for me, the perfect combination. It gave us participants the opportunity to lay the foundation for new habits and implement practices along with other habits and thought patterns. The beauty and tranquility of nature also helped quiet the mind. Since returning home, I’ve been using some of the things we learned at the retreat daily, and I’ve found the direction in my life that I want to continue working toward. What a gift.

Why Hesså in Norway?
Hesså is the place where Frank himself retreat to, every summer.
He has been there every year for some years now, and the quietness, the astonishing nature, the river and mountains have a huge impact on him, and makes him more calm and happy.
The guys who runs the place are also calm and very loving people.
And it’s so easy to get there from Denmark.
You can leave your car in Hirtshals (Northern Denmark), walk onboard the ferry, and when you set your foot on land in Kristiansand, we will take you right to the door in Hesså, together with the other retreat participants.
Approx 1 hour of driving.
