Koto is and old Finnish word meaning shelter, home, nest. That is what this place is for us. And we love to share it with others.

At Ridars we arrange small, tailored retreats, creative workshops, nature experiences and cozy accommodation. And plenty of space for yourself. 

​

In our place we bring together the things and values that are important for us; 

​

An honor and delight for nature and ourselves being a  part of it. A pace that allows one to let go of draining mindsets and constant achievement. A framing that is restorative and vitalizing. 

​

Here you can cherish the small wonders in life. It can be a deeply relaxing yoga session, picking your food in the forest, creating a something out of a lump of clay, making a bonfire in the darkening night, turning off your mobile phone and listening to the silence.  

We feel that this place and all living that is connected to it reflects harmony and meaningfulness A feeling we hope to pass on to our guests.

​

Located 35 km’s east of Helsinki, 30 km west of Porvoo, 20 km from the Helsinki-Vantaa airport you can get close to nature, without having to travel far. You can catch a bus in the center of Helsinki and be installed here one hour later. Otherwise, hours nor minutes don’t count here.
