We invite you to experience this unique initiatory journey in the mythical forests of northern Sweden, where you will meet the Sami people, guardians of ancestral shamanic traditions.
On the occasion of New Year’s Eve 2026, we will take part in powerful fire ceremonies, guided by the rhythm of the drums, to honor the living wisdom of the forest and mountain Sami — traditional reindeer herders.
This journey, set at the threshold of the New Year, marks a sacred passage between two cycles — a powerful time to initiate deep personal renewal. Welcomed above the Arctic Circle, you will experience a magical week of exploration, meaningful connection, and reconnection to yourself and the sacred.
Your Sacred Journey
Highlights
During this journey, we will have the privilege of being guided by a Sami shaman, Peter Fourbears Armstrand, a lineage holder of his tradition, who will share with us the foundations of his culture and spirituality.
We will also be accompanied by his partner, Christelle Andréa, Fourhorses Ajna, a shaman initiated by the Sami and Nordic spirits.
Through rituals, teachings, and moments of deep connection, we will explore the spiritual heritage of this people and the Arctic North — in profound relationship with nature, the spirits, and the elements.
This experience takes place during the Northern Lights season, offering a magical atmosphere that naturally invites introspection and wonder. The wisdom of nomadic peoples, their deep connection to life, and their vision of the world will be at the heart of this transformative journey.
You will be guided by Peter, who will accompany the group through meditation practices, energy healing sessions, spiritual guidance, and the transmission of his knowledge — anchoring each step of the journey in a process of inner transformation.
This journey is open to all, whether you are already familiar with these practices or simply curious to deepen your understanding of energy and shamanism.
A note about Lapland: this is a wild and remote territory, covered in snow, where temperatures remain cold during this time of year. While the days gradually grow longer — creating beautiful conditions for evening fire ceremonies — it is essential to bring very warm clothing. Unlike summer, this season is free from mosquitoes and insects.
We will stay immersed in nature, in a small house located near the forest. Bedrooms with single beds will be shared, as well as the common areas (bathroom, living room, etc.), offering a simple and authentic experience close to the natural environment.
DAILY LIFE
Regular moments of rest will be included throughout the journey, although most of each day will be spent together as a group, engaged in the proposed practices.
We will be staying in a warm and welcoming house, where we will share our meals and accommodation. However, rituals will mainly take place outdoors, allowing us to fully connect with the energy of the wild natural environment.
Network coverage is limited and there is no Wi-Fi — a beautiful invitation to disconnect and return to what truly matters.
Life on site is based on a spirit of community: everyone is invited to contribute to maintaining the harmony and cleanliness of the space. A cook will prepare the meals, though occasional help may be appreciated.

December 28, 2026 — Arrival in Kiruna, at the gateway to the Far North
Welcome to Swedish Lapland, a land of snow, silence, and northern lights.
You will book your flight to Kiruna, where we will welcome you directly at the airport. We recommend traveling in two stages: Paris → Stockholm, then Stockholm → Kiruna (recommended airlines: SAS or Norwegian).
We advise booking directly through official airline websites and avoiding third-party platforms (such as Opodo, Govoyage, etc.).
Upon arrival, you will settle into our Nordic retreat: a warm and welcoming house nestled in nature, with shared rooms and common spaces.
In the evening, we will gather for a convivial dinner at a local restaurant — a moment to meet, connect, and begin immersing ourselves in the magic of the North. Here, there is no rigid schedule: the journey unfolds in harmony with light, cold, fire, and the heart.
December 29, 2026 — Opening Ceremony & Nordic Shamanic Practices
Breakfast on site, followed by a sharing circle to set your intentions.
We will then move into nature for a Nordic shamanic ceremony guided by Peter and Christelle, inspired by ancestral traditions of the Far North.
This day is dedicated to opening, connection, and grounding into the energy of the land. Mount Kebnekaise radiates an ancient and powerful presence — a deep earth energy that Peter, as a devoted guardian, honors and channels to bridge Earth and Sky.
December 30 & 31, 2026 — Ritual Creation & Celebration of Renewal

On December 31:
In the morning, we will enter the forest to gather sacred wood for the creation of your personal shamanic rattle.
A guided workshop will allow each participant to imprint their symbol, breath, and vibration into their creation.
In the evening, we will come together for a collective ritual and celebration of the New Year, to the rhythm of the drums and under the Northern Lights — a moment of pure magic, where renewal awakens within each heart.
