A day for clarity, direction, and inner expansion.

We are approaching a new year. 2026 – the year that astrologers describe as a year of development and new beginnings. A year that promises growth, change, and the opportunity to direct your energy where it truly belongs.

This unique Sankalpa Day is an invitation to pause, reflect, and recalibrate your compass. Take stock of the past year—and with a gentle hand and new inspiration, begin to shape what is to come.

During this day, yoga master Ulrica Norberg will guide you through a powerful yet gently guided process to:
✨ Strengthen your connection with your inner purpose
✨ Release mental blocks and old patterns
✨ Clarify your intention and focus your energy for the year ahead
✨ Reawaken your creativity, balance, and zest for life

Sankalpa means "to dissolve" in Sanskrit, and is an ancient method for creating conscious direction. Through yoga, meditation, breathing, visualization, relaxation, writing, and creative exercises, you will gain the tools to formulate and manifest your personal intention for 2026. Whether you are an experienced yogi, meditator, or beginner, you will find something deeply meaningful here.
For three decades, Ulrica has guided leaders, creators, athletes, and change agents around the world to find focus, meaning, and direction through her unique combination of yogic wisdom, creative coaching, and personal leadership.

This is a wonderful opportunity to start the year in the best possible way—with clarity, presence, and inspiration.
A day for those who want to live more in line with what really matters.

In the early 1900s, within the walls of Stockholm's own Grand Hotel, hotel manager Wilhelmina Skogh envisioned the creation of an evergreen garden to compensate for the barren cold outside. Her career continued to flourish, and in 1910 she named her newly built property on Lidingö "Villa Foresta," inspired by the forest and the old knight's castles that beautifully lined the Rehn River. Wilhelmina Skogh's presence has left its mark on every corner of Villa Foresta, and following in her footsteps opens new doors to a rich past.

Villa Foresta loves books! You will notice this in the cozy interior filled with bookshelves surrounded by greenery. Books @ Foresta book club celebrates the enchanting world of books. A good book works wonders for the soul.

Just a stone's throw from Villa Foresta is the iconic Millesgården, created by world-renowned sculptor Carl Mille and his wife Olga. Here you can experience hundreds of sculptures, lush gardens, and inspiring exhibitions in the Art Gallery.

Yoga teacher, author, and creative inspiration Ulrica Norberg is passionately interested in human inner development and potential. She is an internationally recognized Yogiraj (Yoga Master)—a title that has only been awarded to nine Westerners before her—and has trained hundreds of teachers around the world.

In addition to being one of the most influential voices in yoga and meditation in the Nordic region, Ulrica is also an author, dramaturge, creative coach, and lecturer, as well as being active in the fields of health, art, and nature. In 2018, she was named Yogi of the Year at the Yoga Gala in Stockholm for her groundbreaking work in bringing the philosophy and practice of yoga into the modern world.
