The Taiga Family
Welcome
Welcome to TaigaSchool, our serene sanctuary nestled in the heart of the Finnish wilderness. I am Judith Rink, your dedicated hostess and the guardian of this unique eco-hotel.
Our journey began with a simple desire: to return to an authentic, harmonious way of life, deeply connected with nature. Here in Finland, we found our calling, and it is my greatest pleasure to share this beautiful, balanced lifestyle with you.
TaigaSchool is more than just a place to stay; it is a home away from home, a refuge of tranquility, learning, and self-discovery. As your host, I am committed to ensuring that your experience here is comfortable, enriching, and unforgettable.
Whether you're joining us for our Sisu Wellness Weeks, Singles Escapes, or Family Retreats, or simply to unwind and reconnect with nature, I am here to support and facilitate your journey.
Welcome to our humble haven. Welcome to TaigaSchool.
Warm regards,
Judith Rink
🌲 Meet the Rink Family
Dutch expats who traded city life for the peace of Finnish wilderness.
Driven by a longing for simplicity, connection, and purpose, the Rink family built a new life in the heart of Lapland. Surrounded by forests, lakes, and silence, they live in harmony with nature—embracing slow living, deep community, and mindful routines.
At Taiga School, their eco-friendly group retreat near Ruka and Lake Kitka, they welcome guests to experience this way of life. From yoga and sauna sessions to wild hikes and cold dips, every stay offers space to reconnect—with nature, with others, and with yourself.
Live the Taiga lifestyle. Rediscover what truly matters.
