Meet Lene
Founder of The Arctic Villa, Northern Breath, and The STATE Method
After nearly two decades in Los Angeles, I returned to Northern Norway with a simple vision: to create a place where people could slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves.
That vision became The Arctic Villa.
It also became Northern Breath.
Since 2018, I've guided individuals, groups, and organizations through Conscious Connected Breathwork, helping people understand and regulate their nervous systems through breath, awareness, and intentional practice.
Over the years, this work naturally evolved into The STATE Method—a practical framework for understanding our internal state and learning how to work with it rather than against it.
Whether I'm welcoming guests to The Arctic Villa, guiding a private breathwork session, leading a retreat, or teaching online, my intention is always the same:
To create a space where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and presence.
I believe lasting change doesn't come from pushing harder.
It begins by learning how to lead the state we live from.
Because the way we breathe influences the way we live.
Your breath is your inner compass.
