Pädaste Self Care Weekend in April

15 April until 16 April 2023
Pädaste Manor on Muhu Island, Estonia

The Pädaste Retreats takes place twice a year, in early spring when life on Muhu Islands awakens and in the peace of early autumn, when the Indian Summer on Muhu Island invites to contemplate and seek serenity.


Corpus+Spiritum
The Pädaste Self Care Weekends is one in a series of retreats in the Corpus+Spiritum philosophy by Pädaste Manor


Yoga, meditation and a quiet journey on the Pädaste estate provide a gentle start to the day activities, while afternoon is devoted to breathing session which will end with sauna ritual. Sustenance comes in the form of balanced meals prepared by the hotel’s Chef de Cuisine famed for the estate’s pure and locally sourced Nordic Islands’ Cuisine.

Meeli Laidvee, a creative and dedicated host with a unique handwriting, will be your companion on this journey, supported by Pädaste's wellness experts.

During the two days, participants will reconnect to nature, sweat out toxins, sharpen their senses and regain a conscious presence. The sense of shared achievement nourished among the group is no small part of the retreat’s appeal and the lasting impression it leaves.
