Retreat packages
Retreat by definition means “to backdown”, which is exactly what Länka can be for you – a place where you pause, take a few steps back and then come back from a different perspective. All packages include three preparatory talks, a retreat experience and a follow-up talk. You wake up in a fantastic glassed-in room with natural forest that surrounds you like a warm embrace and you are served breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. The Länka house with surrounding nature becomes part of your journey, as it is built and designed to stimulate the senses, challenge prevailing reality and offer a safe place to land and rise from.
The Reset
A stimulating and at the same time grounding day with us at Länka. During the preparatory talks, we make an assessment of your needs to determine which reset services we can offer you. During the follow-up conversation, we help you integrate your lessons from the retreat day and provide guidance on how you can continue forward.

The Mirror
This package is for couples who need help to, for example, deepen their relationship or move on from a locked position. It is common to focus more on changing something in one’s partner than in oneself, which tends to exacerbate an already problematic dynamic.
At Länka, you can get help to direct the focus inward and to take responsibility for what everyone can take responsibility for, starting with yourselves. You get help using each other as a mirror to learn something about yourselves. The package has similar content to The reset package, with the difference that the services are aimed at couples instead of a single person. It tends to be a transformative experience regardless of whether your goal is to deepen or end the relationship.
See The Reset for content and schedule.

The Silence
Welcome to spend one to several days in silence with Länka. When the voices fall silent, the mind can turn its attention to what really matters in this life – how your body and surroundings feel and how it feels to exist at all in the world you’re in. You close one door but open another. Länka’s surrounding natural environment is perfect for spending time with the inner silence and instead paying attention to subtle sounds outside of you. Perhaps you notice how the inner and outer sounds are finally experienced as the same thing. You are invited to meditative sittings and walks, but otherwise have great freedom to arrange your day as you wish. At the end of the retreat when the silence is broken, you have the opportunity for an integrative conversation to share and understand your experiences.

Therapy packages
Trial therapy
2-3 hours
During the first visit, we circle your problem, its perpetuating driving forces and what you wish to achieve in a treatment. If you enjoy being with us, we will book more visits.
Price:
1 600 SEK/h
Follow up
60-90 min
Depending on your needs, you choose the length of the session and how often you want to go. Discuss with us what is best for you after the trial therapy. Some notice a big change already after the trial therapy. Some are satisfied after 4-6 visits. Others go 10-20 visits or longer.
Price:
1 600 SEK/h
Block therapy
If you live further away or don’t want to go regularly, there is an option for an intensive “therapy block”. This means that we meet for a total of seven hours, spread over three days (three hours on day 1, three hours on day 2 and one hour after about a week). This arrangement suits you who do not have too difficult problems and who feel you are sufficiently ready to work intensively for change in a short period of time. If you want to make it a holistic experience, we offer accommodation during the therapy days in the Länka house.
Price:
1 600 SEK/h
Method
Psycholytic therapy
This form of therapy is a term coined by Stanislov Grof and means that the patient goes into talk therapy in connection with taking a very low dose of psychedelic medication. The low dose of psychedelics facilitates a more open mind and heart, without the state of consciousness changing, which can give a somewhat more intense and deep experience of a customary talk therapy treatment. As psychedelics are still illegal in Sweden, the patient would have to procure the psychedelic medicine on their own, in a country where it is legal, for example Holland. From there, they can call in via Zoom to be offered the therapy.
Coaching
Länka’s coaching is based on the principles we describe here when we break down a problem to solve it together with the client. It suits you who have a defined problem that you wish to gain new perspectives on so that you can move forward. We first listen to what you have to say and how you say it, in order to then create a hypothesis about which factors contribute to your being stuck. We test the hypothesis together with you and give you tools that will help you work on your problem even after the session with us.
ISTDP
ISTDP (intensive short-term psychotherapy) is an affect-focused psychodynamic therapy method that is adapted to different people’s needs and conditions. ISTDP is especially helpful for those with relationship problems, depression, psychosomatic problems and anxiety, for those who have difficulty dealing with emotions/are not in touch with their emotions. The treatment has a clear focus and the therapist is constantly challenging in relation to the defenses the patient uses to avoid feeling certain emotions, but with an ever-present empathy for the functioning of the defenses and the patient’s painful feelings.
The method is called affect-focused as a goal in the therapy is to make it easier for the patient to fully experience his feelings. At the same time, the method is insight-focused as an understanding of the cause of the problems contributes to both an increased chance for a breakthrough of emotions and a more lasting change. ISTDP is an intensive method that can lead to lasting changes in a short time when therapist and patient fully engage in the work. The method has growing research support and has been effective even for complex, long-term problems and psychosomatic conditions. Please visit www.istdpsweden.se for more information.
Psychedelic integration
With a psychedelic substance as a catalyst, you can access larger parts of your consciousness, and break out of the repetitive patterns your brain may be stuck in. It can help you get back to the openness your consciousness was in as a child, and you get the opportunity to see yourself from a more open, flexible and loving perspective.
In addition to a potentially spiritual and highly meaningful experience, sessions with a psychedelic substance can help you move on from a stagnant state such as depression and anxiety. Like usual psychotherapy, it’s not about quick solutions, but in-depth work to get closer to yourself and how you want to live your life. The time after a psychedelic experience is particularly significant as the new insights may need to be processed and integrated with one’s previous ways of looking at oneself and life.
At Länka, we have the skills to help you better understand and integrate a psychedelic experience, which you have had on your own or in a country where psychedelic medicine is legal. You can read more about psychedelic assisted therapy at www.psychedeliskvetenskap.org.
