​
Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) is a Danish term that means to create a warm and cozy life by doing simple things that enrich your spirit and bring joy.
​
Throughout Scandinavia, Hygge is infused into the way people entertain, cook, dine, exercise, travel, dress, decorate and take care of themselves and others. It’s a gentle way of living that soothes the soul and adds meaning to each day.
What you will learn:
-
How to create Hygge happiness at home: a safe, cozy and inviting space for friends and family - tips and tools to make it inviting, year-round. Colour palette, furniture, accessories, lighting, how to create a spa sanctuary in your bathroom, tips to declutter and so much more!
-
Healthy Hygge foods to warm your heart and hearth: creating cozy, hearty meals to keep the chill at bay and strengthen your immune system. We will be sharing how to make an easy, inexpensive tonic that will warm you to the tips of your toes, and fill your body with Hygge, healthy goodness. We will also discuss how the ingredients boost your immune system.
-
Hygge for your whole being: bring feelings of peace, connection and comfort through all of your senses. People tend to lead busy lives and aren't always at home or in a place where they can have their creature comforts or family and friends around them. We will help you find that place of connection with your inner being so you can find comfort wherever you are.

We think that the more we have, the happier we will be. We never know what tomorrow might bring, so we collect and save as much as we can. But living simply is essential to being able to enjoy abundance, minus the stress.
In Japan the influence of Zen Buddhism instills a desire for simplicity. For them, less is more. The key? If something slows them down or doesn’t ‘spark joy’ (be it a habit, food, people) they simply ditch it.
​
At this workshop learn how to simplify your life through letting go:
​
-
Letting go of possessions: learn how to declutter, get organised and beat the overwhelm
-
Letting go of bad eating habits: learn about how closely diet and longevity are linked
-
Letting go of stressful ways of thinking: Clear mental clutter and find clarity. Discover simple processes you can do in your own space and time.
The workshop is designed to be thought-provoking, uplifting, enriching and fun. You will float out the door with a deeper understanding of how to transform your life... with a gift bag full of goodies tucked under your arm.
​
All workshops include a meditation session and refreshments.
Why are there so many people over the age of 100 living in Sardinia?
Is it what they eat?
Is it their friends and families?
Is it their inner strength and resilience?
​
Join us to discover their secrets and how you can implement them into your own life:
​
-
Adjust your way of eating - Plenty of fish, fresh fruit and vegetables, herbs, greens (even weeds!), beans and lots of extra virgin olive oil. How can you be a 'bit more Sardinian in your eating? Learn how Sardinians respect and honour their food.
-
Connect to your family & friends - Social connections and family are important for a long life. Just the simple act of talking with your neighbours or sharing a coffee with a friend is enough.
-
How to be more productive - Working and feeling that you are contributing is important. This can be a job or other activities such as helping in the home, cooking, shopping, volunteering, helping with family or working on a project.
-
Physical activity and mindfulness - Walking, gardening, shopping, housework – they all count. And don’t forget to get some quiet time during the day for some mindfulness or meditation.
-
Ramp up your goal setting - Give more power to your goals through working in an unconscious space.
