Our
Story
Get to Know Us
In 2022 I got ill. I had worked many years as a teacher and had pushed my limits. I dreamed of rest. All I wanted was to sleep and be alone.
In my sick leave I signed up for a class in art therapy. At last I could allow myself to feel, create and breath.
This year I got a vision: I was going to buy a house at a peaceful and beautiful place.
A breathing space. For me and for other people who need a place to come and feel, create and breath; through a retreat, a workshop, a concert, shared reading, a nice meal and mindful accomodation.
​
My prayers got to be heard. Suddenly I got to buy Torpet.
Now I am renovating this propery together with my loving husband Svein.
​
We are looking forward to seeing you here at Torpet:
Your breathing space.
​
WELCOME
Welcome to Torpet, which is an old tenant farm/croft. Torpet is a peaceful place that invites us to be both creative and relaxed.
We would like to offer various and exciting retreats and workshops, yoga, summer kafè, intimate concerts, book kafè/shared reading and accomodation.
​​​
Our target group are both people and groups who wants to have a breathing space and personal development in beautiful and historic surroundings in the creative and nice village Høylandet in Norway.
​
Hopefully we will be able to open Torpet Retreat and workshop 1st June 2027. Your are welcome to follow our process at Instagram; Torpet_retreat_ workshop.
