Hibernation Hygge - Overnight Rejuvenation Retreat

 

It’s almost time to join the critters as they begin to wake up and welcome the new season!
Are you feeling as if you’ve been living burrowed underground or asleep in a cave somewhere for the past few months? Or maybe you wish you HAD been hibernating?  

 

We’re here to help you prepare to come out of hibernation and re-enter the world refreshed and renewed with Skippack’s first-ever Hibernation Hygge – an overnight rejuvenation retreat.

 

What the heck is a Hygge (pronounced HUE-gah), you ask?
Hygge is the Danish ritual of enjoying life's simple pleasures. The Oxford Dictionary describes hygge as “A quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being.”

“ Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.”
- Maya Angelou
