Our renewed website: plan your time in Labanoras Forest

Explore gatherings, guided walks, living traditions and the clay house through the renewed Lithuanian and English Labas Noras website.

The Labas Noras setting in Antaviešė, surrounded by Labanoras Forest

Labas Noras is a place to meet the forest, discover living traditions and spend time together. We want that welcome to begin before you arrive in Antaviešė. That is why we have put care into renewing our website: to give you room to look around, find an experience that appeals to you and picture a visit with the people you would like to bring.

With our website partner Web Aloha, we moved from WordPress to Astro. Our aim was a welcoming, clear and dependable website, where photographs and stories help you prepare for a real visit. Easier, safer maintenance and smooth browsing were part of that decision too.

Find something you would love to try

Some people are drawn to quiet craft; others to singing or learning about plants. Our pages on straw garden making, sutartinės singing and hemp heritage workshops describe what happens in each session. You can browse the photographs and talk with family or friends about what you would enjoy doing together.

Making a small straw garden or twisting hemp fibre into a cord is easier to imagine when you can see the process. If the forest calls more strongly, our guided walks page introduces the sounds, plants and stories you can explore with a local guide. These details give you a starting point for choosing an experience before you contact us.

Join a gathering or plan your own

The events page brings upcoming gatherings together, separately from past events. Open an event to read its programme, date and practical details. Stories from earlier retreats and seasonal celebrations offer a feel for life at Labas Noras and ideas for a gathering of your own.

For a family weekend, creative workshop or small retreat, take a look at the clay house. Photographs show the shared space, kitchen and bedrooms, helping you consider how your group would use them. Up to ten people can stay overnight. Once you have an idea in mind, we can discuss dates and activities together.

An invitation you can share in two languages

The website is available in Lithuanian and English. If you are inviting friends from abroad or planning a visit with English-speaking relatives, you can share a page for them to read in their own time. The language link opens the equivalent workshop, house or event page, so everyone can look at the same experience without you having to translate each detail.

Clear descriptions also support our wish to reach people who have yet to discover Labas Noras, whether they look for traditional crafts and forest experiences through a search engine or an AI assistant. Once someone finds us, we want the next step to feel simple: understand what we offer, see where we are and start a conversation.
