ELVA – our name and our values
The name elva carries roots in both Norse and Irish traditions. In Old Norse, it echoes names linked to mythical, nature-connected beings, while in Irish it means “bright.” Together, these origins reflect a sense of magic, light and connection to the natural world – perfectly aligned with our values of mindfulness, renewal and gentle restoration.
At ELVA Retreats, we hold these qualities at the heart of everything we create.
