“A few years ago, I found myself for the first time in the arctic Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. I felt like I had been dropped down on the moon”- Lise Ulrich in NL1 Magazine

NL1 Magazine

Connected to Nature

The North uncovers the inner calm and hidden truths about ourselves. NL1 Magazine is a guide to better understand how we can nurture and improve our state of mind in relationship with nature, wilderness and solitude.

Nordic winter let you sense the magnitude of the North, its pride, its dominance that let you humbly accept that a single human being is always connected to a sublime and mighty fortitude.
This insight draws you to more inner calm.

We learn to celebrate daily life with all its seemingly negligible details.

Nordic Homes, Gardens & Landscapes

NL3 Magazine explores Nordic Homes, Gardens and Landscapes. Our homes are a symbol for the process of growing, they help us to learn to let go, to rest, to accept. Growing a garden or a home is an ever evolving process, and at the same time a grounding path.

The NL3 Magazine is seeking out the solace & beauty of Nordic homes, gardens & landscapes. At home we set the atmosphere and rhythm of our day, we restore our human balance, far away from the hectic outside world.

The experience of being out in the countryside amongst the fjords and mountains, so close to nature, is beautifully peaceful and healing. I feel I am a sensitive and lost soul, and this is just the place I needed to get close to my own roots and reflect on my own self as a human being. I needed to find home for my own values and my own truths.However hard that might be. I needed this place deep in the fjords.- Lisa Reid Majaavatten in NL3 Magazine
