Hi there, does anyone know any retreats or spiritual adventures involving the northern lights...can be iceland, denmark, finland, sweden
I will be going alone but would like to join others perhaps for meditation and yoga or just chilling out!
Thank you muchly, bex xx
Hi becka,
I'm not sure anyone can guarantee the Northern Lights. They are not ever-present. For example, I go to Denmark every year or two, and it's hardly further north than us. I've never seen the Lights there at all ... but I did see a stupendous display once from just south of the Scottish border.

Hi Becka,
Ah! the glorious Northern Lights, of course!

As you probably know already, Omega Holidays organise the flights that guarantee a viewing! Here is their website:

You have just missed their 2007 dates but 2008 dates are available.
Unfortunately the aurora that you will see from the flight may be just this:

Hope this helps!

If you simply put "northern lights" into google (advanced settings) there are lots of holiday options. Probably not cheap. Cheaper would simply be to take your own trip far north at the best time of year. The northern lights can't be guaranteed, but they peak for some strange reason in mid-Autumn and mid-Spring. The spectacular display I saw all night near the Scottish border was, I recall, in November.
The displays also differ enormously. Some may not be very spectacular. Again, the one I saw wasn't just on the horizon, but filled the entire sky 360 degrees from the horizon to overhead, all night long. You could read a book by it. Since I didn't think of lying on my back to watch it, I had a bad crick in my neck for 2-3 weeks after hours of looking up! It was bright enough to blot out every star.
Yes, it certainly did feel like a spiritual experience, as the whole thing is moving and shimmering every moment, the colours changing in mini-seconds. For all the world, it looked like a huge angel with robes and wings right overhead. Since we were on a spiritual trip at the time, it was an awesome experience.
Let us know how you get on and if you find something suitable! 🙂
