When you take the gravel road away from civilization and you manage to choose the right direction at the fork in the road, you will find yourself on the edge of meadows and an old forest. You have arrived at Studio Burdąg - a farm that exudes peace and good energy. You will be greeted by silence, the sky painted with clouds and sunsets, and our female dog, Szajba, wagging her tail. The studio is full of life most of the time: there is a place to work, make new friends, talk about life and a lot of emotions. But there is always a moment of silence. Due to the fact that we rent Burdąg for the organization of workshops, over the years we have hosted many extraordinary people here and we have seen really different things. From the experimental choreography that started it all, through bonfire rituals, acro yoga, swimming in our pond, to the directing course.

The owners of Studio Burdąg are Olga and Janusz Stokłos. When in the 1990s they bought a neglected post-German farm, no one expected that a creative workhouse would be built there. The current shape of the Studio is the result of many years of their efforts. Olga and Janusz come from time to time to rest or work, and we - the team - live in Burdąg a bit out of time. And we invite our guests to do so. Here you will be able to take a breath and spend a few days in harmony with nature, the season and sunrises. Each of us cares about Burdąg and its energy in our own way - we would like to share this place with you.

Studio Burdąg is located right next to a forest, in a quiet and green setting, far from neighbors, roads, and civilization. Initially, the owners created a family home there, later adding a dance hall and sleeping quarters, and today it's a thriving space dedicated to creative work and development workshops.

We invite event organizers looking for a place for a multi-day retreat to collaborate. Here, you're sure to find peace, positive energy, and plenty of space (inside and out) for your classes. The studio is available for exclusive use.

In two buildings, we can accommodate 22 people in double and triple rooms, 26 with mattresses.

The studio consists of:

The Barn

– on the first floor, 4 rooms: 1 room with a private bathroom and a double bed, and 3 double rooms with a shared bathroom. The Barn
– This is where the dining room and gastronomic kitchen are located, where our team cooks for you.
– On the ground floor, there's a living room with a stove and a kitchenette.
– On the first floor, there are 6 rooms: 1 double and 1 triple room with private bathrooms, and 1 single, 1 double, and 2 triple rooms with two shared bathrooms.

We also have:
– a swimming pool where you can cool off in the summer and swim in the winter.
– a pond with goldfish and frogs.
– an orchard and vegetable garden, which provides seasonal vegetables used in our kitchen.
– and two buildings where some of the team live, as well as the owners, who occasionally visit from Warsaw.

We also have pets: two canine companions, Krystyna and Stefa. We love all wet noses, so you can bring your four-legged friends here too. Just remember to read the regulations and ensure the comfort of our animals and other guests.

Winter in Burdąg
Temperatures in the buildings will hover around 19-20°C, so remember to bring warm tracksuits and woolen socks. Winter in the countryside is not the tropics. For those who feel cold, we have fireplaces where you can bask in the sun as much as you like.

We serve vegetarian and vegan meals, seasonal and aromatic. Sylwia, or Full of Flavor, creates more than just meals – her food is the art of health and harmony with nature. All the dishes she serves are based on seasonal, plant-based ingredients and are prepared with love, tenderness, and positive energy.
Sylwia cooks intuitively, using Chinese medicine, ensuring that the food supports workshop participants throughout every process. It's important to her that the food complements the workshop's goals, harmonizing body and mind.
Sylwia's cuisine combines various flavors – sweet, bitter, sour, spicy, and umami. Colorful, plant-based meals resemble small masterpieces, but above all, they allow you to relax and release tensions stored in the body.
Sylwia uses the highest quality ingredients. In the summer, she is further supported by her extraordinary garden, which produces the sweetest tomatoes, beautiful vegetables, and aromatic herbs – these give all dishes a unique flavor. We discuss the menu individually with each organizer to fully tailor it to the group's needs. We truly care about ensuring you can recharge with a nutritious meal during your busy day. In addition to vegetarian options, we can also offer vegan or gluten-free options. We prioritize the quality, provenance, and environmental impact of our products. In the summer, we use vegetables from our own garden.

Our full-day meals include: a buffet breakfast with oatmeal or millet porridge + a two-course lunch with dessert + a buffet dinner with a hot dish.

If you need a snack between meals, a fully equipped communal kitchen is at your disposal.

Our offer is addressed to the organizers of various types of events and it is them who take care of filling the time of our guests. We know from experience that there are a lot of activities and sometimes there is not enough time to take full advantage of the charms of the area.

Our workshop room gives space for organizing very diverse activities: dance classes, movement classes, martial arts, yoga practices, women's circles, soft skills workshops or stage and acting workshops. We also have a lot of common spaces where our guests can make friends and exchange experiences between classes. However, if someone prefers to take a break from all kinds of stimuli and interactions, he will always find a secluded place to retreat.

In your free time - should such a thing happen - you can always:
– go for walks in the forest, which is only a few steps away,
– go to the nearby Świątajno lake, one of the cleanest in Masuria,
– read books in a hammock (you can choose something from our library),
– soak your feet in the pond while lying on the platform,
– swim in the pool in the summer and swim in the winter,
– play ping-pong and badminton matches,
- sit in the evening by the fire,
– ride a bike, if you happen to have it with you,
- go sledding when it snows,
– pick raspberries, blueberries and mushrooms in autumn

It's rare that someone goes out to explore the area during their stay, but if...
– Olsztyn is an hour away from here, so you can go on a trip: a walk around the old town, a beautiful university campus by the lake or for a good coffee at Bless Coffee Roasters,
– in Szczytno, in addition to the ruins of the Teutonic castle, Masurian Pofajdoki and the Masurian Museum are waiting for you,
– in the charming nearby towns and villages: Pasym (the oldest town in Masuria), Grom, Barczewo or Dźwierzuty, you can admire the post-war architecture and move into the past for a moment,
– the nearby Dłużek Lake and the village of Dłużek (such in traditional Prussian street buildings) Melchior Wańkowicz describes in the book “Na tropach Smętka” as the most beautiful in Masuria,
– we are almost in the Napiwodzko-Ramucka Forest, and here there are: impenetrable forests, nature reserves, a refuge of wild birds, a war cemetery in Orłowo from World War I or an abandoned Warmian village of Orzechowo.

We are a workshop place for adults. Here you will take care of yourself to come back from the kids after updating the system.
