Have you ever found yourself feeling overwhelmed or burnt out?
We often think that taking a nap or pouring an extra cup of coffee will get us through, but there is so much more than that. As a professional photographer, burn-out seemed inevitable. After adding some intentional creativity and true rest for the whole self to my routine, I’ve noticed a big change. I want to share these discoveries with you.
Fika Events + Retreats embodies the idea that we all deserve to be nurtured and nourished while navigating through life’s demanding rhythms. Reclaim your inner peace as we create, dine, rest, and grow with one another.
FIKA:
(Swedish) a break from activity during which people drink coffee and relax with others.
Fika Events and Retreats exists to bring women together to connect and create, explore the world through nature and culture, and experience a time of true rest, encouragement, and inspiration.
We want to uplift the creator in you, nurture your whole self, and build foundational relationships in the photography industry.
“If you’re a world traveler, community cultivator, or creatively passionate individual who wants to step out of their comfort zone while still feeling safe connecting with like-minded & hearted people, then these are the retreats for you!
I’ve been on multiple retreats now and have walked away with more knowledge, confidence, creative content, and of course, community than I could ever hope for!
Fika retreats genuinely make you feel like perfect little moments are possible & plentiful. Natalie curates every aspect of the trips with such care - there’s nothing about these retreats and this community that I legitimately do not LOVE.”

I believe that we all have some creativity in us, waiting to be discovered. I believe that we all need real connections. I believe that we all deserve true moments of rest for the whole self to thrive.

The host, Natalie, is so down-to-earth and extremely welcoming! Between the variety of places to explore, new things to try, and the opportunity to meet new people who are interested in sharing different life experiences and talents, these retreats have really helped me grow as a person and helped me tap into my relaxed creative side!

“I’m so so thankful I took the leap to go on an overseas retreat with Natalie! I was hesitant at first but it was absolutely worth it! I still pinch myself when I think back on all that we did in such a dream destination! And I’m so thankful I have such beautiful pictures to remind me of how fun and dreamy and adventurous and crazy it was.”
