The Forest Sanctuary is a venue in Tisvilde, the north of Denmark, one hour from Copenhagen
People gather here from around the world for retreats, experiences and initiations
It is a place to connect, explore and remember what it truly means to be human - in all its complexity and beauty
The Forest Sanctuary has its own private entrance to the forest so you at any moment can step out at be among the trees.
Tisvilde Hegn is a protected forest, home to rich biodiversity. Just fifteen minutes’ walk along winding paths through pine, birch, and beech trees will bring you to the ocean.
Tisvilde is an undisturbed destination. Because the forest is protected, no roads have been built through it. Anyone who drives or arrives here, are meant to come here. No passing through.
This is why the forest stretches all the way to the ocean, creating a rare atmosphere of quiet strength, where nature itself offers balance, peace and vision.
For centuries, Tisvilde has been known as a place of healing. Pilgrims - whether sick, disabled, or seeking spiritual blessings - traveled here to drink from the holy spring, whose power restored and healed.

Our newly built Hammam is designed for deep relaxation and connection. It features a sauna, steam room and ice bath.

The Forest Sanctuary gathers people from all over the world, drawn by something greater than the idea of self:
A shared intention to transform and to live in unconditional love
Here, your unfiltered and authentic expression is not only welcomed, but celebrated
This is a place where unconditioning can unfold - where the unknown and the suppressed are met with curiosity, kindness and presence.
The Forest Sanctuary is founded by three women
All born on this land each with their own way of serving the vision
Felippa
Your contact person, guiding you from the first intentional dialogue to the final execution - aligning energy and structure so your vision comes to life.
“Holding space for differences makes each meeting unique. From a place of no judgement it invites us to meet each other with open minds and therefore being able to see what we might need to learn from one another. By witnessing and understanding each other we grow. The Forest Sanctuary naturally offers a safe environment to do so.”
Ida
The connector and the co-creator of retreats. With her gift for bringing people together, she creates a sense of community where diverse voices and energies meet. Through her co-creation, your retreat becomes not only a program, but a living connection between the sanctuary, you and your participants.
“The Forest Sanctuary is a magnetic field where every person’s growth ripples outward into the world. I began this project to create a space where we can learn the essential things in life that were never taught in school - things that have often become taboos, but still shape our world. Sexuality, for example.”
Rebecka
Your host, will prepare your meals with care and creativity. By nature, she carries an atmosphere of nourishment - through her cooking, her presence, and the way she makes people feel at home. Her food is more than a meal; it is an extension of the love and grounding energy she brings into the space.
“When our survival needs are not only met but honored with love, we can fully step into creation - and when we are in creation, we are in service.”
Together, holding a feminine, nurturing space for you to lean fully into who you are.
You may notice it in the small things - the scent of flowers from the garden in your room, the taste of warm and nourishing food, the touch of fresh sheets, or the sound of wind moving through the trees.
Stuebjerggaard is more than a place to stay - it is a lived experience.
We would love to co-create with you.
