Private healing & soul-embodiment retreat

Rise into the fullness of who you are

7 day Healing journey in Sweden

An individual Retreat that brings you back to the essence

During this private retreat, you will have my personal guidance for an entire week. Transformative excursions, intuitive practices, meditations, rest, and nature will help you create a new inner foundation, deeply connected with yourself. Experience inner harmony, love, clarity, and joy as you reconnect with your Soul Essence and the Divine Source — a presence that becomes even more tangible in the natural world.

Enjoy the pleasures of simple, slow, and natural living — back to the Essence — while becoming fully present in the moment, captivated by the beauty of life.

You are meant to flourish and thrive, rise into the fullness of who you are. I’m here to guide, activate, and remind you of your soul’s true expression – while making this journey down-to-earth, easy, and enjoyable for you.

Sweden retreats
Demi Maatman Retreats

Our cozy retreat center, nestled in the midst of Swedish nature and surrounded by mossy rocks, trees, and lakes, offers a safe haven where you can rest, recharge, and reconnect with your own energy. Simply being in nature, slowing down, and enjoying the small (or actually ‘big’) moments in life opens you to new ways of living – like sitting under a tree and feeling fully present, noticing a butterfly land on your hand, feeling the warmth of the sun, listening to the peaceful sound of rain, wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket while writing new insights in your notebook, discovering nourishing recipes, or tasting a freshly picked blueberry in the forest.

You will experience what true self-care and well-being mean, and how to live more aligned with yourself. I will support you with tools and guidance to integrate this new way of being into your everyday life.

Together, we will go on excursions, explore practices that help you reconnect with yourself, and I will share exercises to work with during your free time. This week shows that reconnecting with yourself and letting go of what no longer serves you can be gentle, enjoyable, and deeply transformative.

~ Immerse yourself in the wonders of nature with a morning walk around the property, join me on an excursion to one of my favorite spots in nature, take a break in the hammock in our forest garden and write down your new insights in your journal, enjoy a healthy dinner, and fall peacefully asleep (surrounded by animal sounds) during the night, recharging and rejuvenating your body – while waking up to the sounds of birds. ~

7-Day Journey

The retreat experience will be customized to your energy and wishes. It’s a balance between free time for relaxation and rest, personal time with practices and tools you receive from me, and 1-on-1 excursions/practices we do together. The kind of activities we’ll do together really depend on your wishes for this retreat. Some examples of my 1-on-1 activities:

  • Guided meditations

  • Healing sessions (including family systems)

  • Intuitive nature experiences

  • Intuitive exercises

  • Creative explorations (like drawing, painting, creating something)

  • Coaching & deep talk sessions

  • Swimming in a peaceful lake, working with the water element

  • Creating a fire ceremony together
  • Little tea gatherings with brainstorming and discussing a topic you bring in
  • Other spontaneous intuitive things that come up in our co-creation!

Besides the activities we’ll do together, you will get self-study materials, tools, and practices to do in your free time.

More information about my way of working you can find on my page ‘1-on-1 healing sessions’ (click here). This gives you an idea of the sessions/topics during the retreat. Additional retreat-information can be found in my blog ‘Spiritual retreat in Sweden – how can it help you?‘

Small-scale Retreat Centre

In the retreat building, there are 3 private rooms, allowing for a maximum of 2 other guests to be present (who, like you, are also seeking tranquility and inspiration). It’s also entirely possible that you’re the only guest during your retreat. There is a big shared area in the building with multiple places to sit, 2 toilets, one bathroom and a kitchen with meadow-view. If you book the caravan, you have your own private space, including your own kitchen and acces to a separate bathroom outside of the retreat building (so you don’t have to enter the building). Around the retreat-center we have created various relax spots in our forest-garden and around the property you will find forests and lakes where you can roam around or drink your cup of tea.

Food

You will cook your own meals in your private caravan kitchen or in the kitchen of the retreatbuilding (both have fridge, freezer and oven).

The ‘back to basic’ version of €2295,- has no meals included, which means that you will bring your own food. If you come by airplane and then train, you will arrive in Hovmantorp. On the other side of the road there is a grocery store. You can buy enough food for the whole week and once you’re ready I will pick you up there and bring you to the retreatcenter.

The ‘All inclusive’ package of €2595,-has all the meals included, which means that I have prepared a personal menu for you and have bought all the ingrediënts. You will find all the food in the kitchen and you will have the recipes ready (you will make your own food). I will take into account the things you don’t eat/allergies and buy as much as possible organic.

A holistic well-being experience asks for healthy and vibrant food that nourishes body, mind and soul. That’s why I buy fresh and as much as possible organic food. If it’s the right time in the season you can enjoy your own fresh herbs in the little garden next to the retreatbuilding.

I will ask about your dietary preferences and any allergies you have. Based on this, I will create a personalized menu for you and print out all the recipes.

I’ve met so many different people with different kind of food wishes, from vegan to eating meat. That’s why I tried to make different menu options that suits most people. The menu options are as follows:

  • Combination of vegetarian, (organic) meat and fish/shrimps.
  • Combination of vegetarian and (organic) meat.
  • Combination of vegetarian and fish/shrimps.
  • A complete vegetarian menu.
  • A complete vegan menu.
  • Optional: menu free of gluten/dairy or other allergens (let me know)

In case you choose meat or fish in your menu, I will always buy organic/local meat and wild-caught fish or shrimps.

Immerse yourself in swedish nature

Stay in a forest-caravan or in one of our cosy rooms in the adjacent retreat centre

On the property in the woods, we have a cozy private spot with caravan and hammock, where you can settle down. Or choose a cozy room in the retreat-building with acces to a shared relaxation area.

Swedish nature

Swedish nature has lots of places where you can just ‘be’ on your own. Hearing your own inner voice. Besides that, Swedish nature has a powerful grounding energy that brings you back in your body.

Organic food

The food you get is organic as much as possible. Should there be an abundant harvest, then you will get vegetables or herbs from our own vegetable garden.

Relax spots

On our terrain in the middle of the forest we have created enough places to sit or lay down. So you can deeply relax and recharge after an inspirational day.

The accomodation

The idyllic retreat centre was formerly a carpentry factory. Later, it was transformed into a small café selling organic vegetables, and now it is a small-scale retreat centre where people experience the energy as ‘special, grounding & enlightening’.

Often, they notice an inner change just by being present in this place, even before we have started the sessions! This place amidst the Swedish forests, with moss and large stones everywhere, is indeed a true power spot.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Best Christmas Gift to Myself - For several months, I had this voice telling me that there is more that I can give to the world and I need to find my purpose. I was also finding a solution to my lifelong autoimmune disease, which I think is directly related to my work and lifestyle. I was called to this place instead of going to popular locations with the sea and sand. It was cold during Christmas but I knew it was not just a retreat to find relaxation. It promised healing and a deeper connection with our inner self through nature and uncovering our own wisdom, and hopefully reveal the secret to healing and transformation. My time with Demi and with myself in the forest was precious. She connects deeply with my struggles and offers various frameworks to work with for me to find my answers. I unveiled all the layers and see clarity in what I am able to give to the world. What an amazing experience. The retreat was not just a beautiful pause from daily life — it was a turning point that continues to ripple through me months later. I am deeply grateful for her presence and highly recommend her retreats to anyone seeking depth, healing, and authentic connection.

A life-changing experience that brought me back to myself. Attending Demi’s retreat in Sweden was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I came during a time of deep transition, seeking clarity and peace, and I left with so much more than I ever expected. Demi’s guidance helped me make peace with old traumas and reconnect with a sense of inner calm I had lost. I returned home with practical tools I can use every day—even in the middle of my busy life as a mom and professional—to stay grounded, confident, and surrounded by positive energy. Demi is a truly genuine soul—full of light, never judgmental, and always present. She reminded me that joy is everywhere, even in the smallest moments, and helped me trust myself again. I came back with a stronger sense of who I am and no longer fear being alone. The setting itself is absolutely beautiful—peaceful forests, quiet lakes, and walking trails that invite deep reflection. The food was incredible: high-quality, nourishing ingredients that also inspired my creativity in the kitchen. I’m deeply grateful for this experience and for Demi’s warm, intuitive presence. This retreat has left a lasting imprint on my heart.

Words can’t describe how wonderful my retreat with Demi was! I felt like I could relax from the first moment I met her. She’s an amazing therapist and an incredibly kind and warm hearted human. She helped me reconnect with my body and harmonize the relationship between my mind and body. What a gift ♥️ I experienced art therapy, animal therapy, nature therapy etc and my inner child was SO happy to do more than just talk therapy. The retreat center that Demi and her family created is one of the coziest and most welcoming retreat centers I’ve been to. I wasn’t even fazed by the cold Swedish winter because of how safe, warm and comfortable I felt in the retreat building. I can’t wait to go back !!!♥️

Magical Momentum! I was looking for something indescribable and I felt called to Sweden. Demi's words resonated with me on a deep level. Unlocking my true soul's potential was exactly what happened here. I absolutely adored everything about this retreat. It was magical. My entire life feels like it's moving forward now. I am grounded firmly in my truth and the gears are finally turning in my life. Oh Demi Demi Demi, words cannot begin to describe how irrevocably I have been changed since my experience with her. To say that she helped me transcend limitations, unlock inner knowing, connect to my truth, my light and break patterns that held me back for my entire life... would be an understatement of the century. Her knowledge, energy, intuitive care, and loving attention illuminated the depths of my soul in ways I had hoped for since I was a child. In my eyes, her knowing rivals that of the ancients. She is a pure soul light with wisdom keys for all fortunate enough to encounter her if they take the time to listen. I have been changed indescribably and validated in my soul's incarnation on this planet beyond compare. Before my sanctuary of a retreat with Demi my entire life felt like it was dipped in molasses, and frozen in space, for the longest time. The moment I got back to my corner of the earth where I had made a nest, after my peaceful interlude with Demi's activating spirit, things began to move at an unbelievable pace. Oh how the world opens up for you when you are connected to your truth!!! I CANNOT recommend Demi enough!!! She is a blessing to this planet, and my time with her was a blessing.

As a participant in Demi's group retreat, I can confidently say it was a transformative experience. Demi has an extraordinary talent for creating an environment where growth and self-discovery are encouraged and celebrated. The retreat not only provided a delightful escape from the daily routine, but it was also infused with profound leadership principles. Demi's approach subtly combined adventurous activities with deep reflection and coaching, resulting in a holistic approach to personal development. What inspired me the most was Demi's ability to create a safe space. Her insights and guidance were not only valuable during the retreat but have been invaluable in my daily life and work. The program was well-balanced, offering a mix of challenging activities, soothing moments, and profound conversations. Through Demi's methods, I was able to better understand and develop my own strengths, while also learning valuable techniques to communicate effectively and inspire others. I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in this retreat and to benefit from Demi's expertise and dedication. It has broadened my perspective and strengthened my leadership skills in ways I never imagined possible. Thank you, Demi, for creating an experience that was both enriching and enlightening. I look forward to continuing my journey of growth and leadership, carrying the lessons learned during this extraordinary retreat with me.

Women Group Retreat

In March 2024, I participated in the women's retreat with Demi. Before participating in the retreat, I felt like I had lost myself. Partly due to busy life, commitments and work. I was running away from my feelings. I was looking for a retreat or group retreat and finally ended up with Demi. At that moment I had the feeling: this is what I have to do. During the retreat we did a lot of meditating, talking and walking. In the forest you are completely isolated from the outside world and I had time for myself. Demi is incredibly kind. She could sense what I needed. She helped me a lot with finding myself and my own strength. I rediscovered my own adventurous side and realized how much I have to offer. I am very grateful to her for that. Demi is also very open and caring. The moment there is something or you need something, she is available. You can and may specify what you like to eat, the beds and rooms are good and the retreat center was big enough for the three of us, with a large living room, bathroom and kitchen! I recommend everyone to book a retreat with Demi to get back to yourself, be in a beautiful environment and really choose yourself for once.

Women Group Retreat

Thankyou for an incredible week. You are truly a starseed on this earth, healing humanity one person at a time. You have re-awoken a creativity and connection to the natural world that I feared I would never feel again. You have reminded me of my soul's mission on earth. I am sad to be leaving today. The sanctuary you have created here is so conducive to spiritual growth. But I feel ready to take what I have learned here and incorporate it into my daily life. Thank you for making me believe in magic again. With love,

Women Group Retreat

100/10 Highly Recommend. If I didn’t live in Australia, I would be at Demi’s retreat at every single chance I could take. I found Demi after serious trauma in my life. I was completely detached from my body and really struggling to cope. Demi offered a safe, nurturing space for me to return to my body, and myself. Demi’s combination of holistic intuitive therapy, work out in nature and her own healing essence allowed me to unpack and release years of trauma in a healthy and safe way. Her physical space was just as beautiful and healing as her calm and caring nature. I will never forget Demi and my time at her retreat, and I am so grateful I was able to experience her incredible gifts.

A month has passed since I spent a magical week at Demis Retreat and I´m already longing to return. My intention for the week was surpassed more than I could have imagined thanks to Demi. The place and location, but most of all, Demi herself managed to open up and bringing out so much inner light and strength out of me. She is like this super- excellent spiritually-connection-wi-fi! I left the retreat empowered, with newfound clarity and new perspectives on career paths and long-term happiness. I most definitely will do this again and Demi will forever stay in my heart and empower my mind. All my love.
