SusTra x JYU.Wisdom winter retreat 2027 – Balance

This retreat is a chance to step away from everyday routines and dive deep into your research in a peaceful, inspiring setting. Surrounded by nature and fellow sustainability-focused PhD researchers, you'll have space to write, reflect, connect, and discover balance. The programme combines focused writing sessions in the mornings, creative workshops in the afternoons, and relaxed leisure activities like sauna and yoga. It’s not just about productivity, but also about finding new perspectives, building community, and recharging. The beautiful nature around the research station offers possibilities for outdoor activities, and the structured sessions are designed to enhance participants' productivity and creativity as well as support their well-being and work-life balance.
