Gathering 2025: Where Nature Meets Community

Below post is written by Yvonne Iwi Lehnert - participant of Lithica 2024 and 2025.

Last year’s Lithica Gathering in Sweden was one of my absolute favorite experiences of 2025.

That week among wild-minded souls had everything that truly enriches life. It is a place where everyone shares their skills, knowledge, and stories—not for admiration, but from a genuine wish to contribute with integrity and respect. Lithica is a space where you can simply be yourself and feel appreciated for who you are, and for the unique gifts you bring.

What I loved most was the diversity of people — different backgrounds, cultures, and generations all coming together. There was always something to learn and exchange: during workshops, nature walks, or while sitting around the fire under the Scandinavian sky.

As a returning participant (after my first Lithica in Norway), I could really see how this community evolves each year—adapting, growing, and learning from past gatherings. I especially enjoyed the unscheduled “free day”, a beautiful space to let creativity unfold naturally. It turned out to be one of the most playful and inspiring days of the week!

The location itself was wild and stunning — nestled between a river and a lake perfect for swimming, canoeing, and fishing. Evenings were crowned by delicious dinners we all shared together. I particularly loved joining the team one afternoon for the creative process behind what I like to call “Outdoor Haute Cuisine.”

In short: I can wholeheartedly recommend joining the Lithica Gathering next summer.
📅 Save the date: 5–12 July 2026.
I’ll definitely be back — come rewild with us!
