Private retreat

Unlock Your Potential

7 day Healing journey in Sweden

An individual self-discovery and soul-embodiment journey in nature

During this private retreat, you will have my personal guidance for an entire week. Transformative excursions, practices, meditations, rest, and nature will help you create a new inner foundation, deeply connected with yourself. Experience inner harmony, love, clarity, and joy – guided by the energies of the earth and nature. Enjoy the pleasures of simple, slow, and natural living – back to the Essence – while anchoring deeper into your body and becoming fully present in the moment, captivated by the beauty of life.

You are meant to flourish and thrive, living to your full potential. 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 awaken your life force energy. Just ‘being’ in nature, slowing down, and enjoying the little (or actually ‘big’) things in life will open you up to new ways of living and being – like sitting under a tree and feeling one with nature, a butterfly landing on your hand while your body gets energized by the power of the sun, the peaceful sound of rain, and the warmth of a cozy blanket while you write new insights in your notebook, discovering new ways to nourish your body with healthy recipes and natural ingredients, or enjoying the taste of a freshly picked blueberry in the forest!

You will discover what true self-care, well-being, and self-empowerment really are. You will experience that you can be your own healer and guide – on all levels. I will give you the tools and practices you need to integrate this new way of being into your daily life.

We will go on excursions together, I will guide you through soul-activating experiences in nature, and I will give you personal exercises and tools to work with in your free time. During this week, you will experience that reconnecting with yourself and letting go of things that no longer serve you can be a journey that is enjoyable.

~ 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 soul meditations (with or without music)
  • Intuitive nature walks
  • Practices or intuitive exercises
  • Creative explorations (like drawing, painting, creating something)
  • Working with nature’s energies and ceremony
  • Intuitive energy work (adjusted to your needs)
  • Little spontaneous adventures, led by intuition
  • Swimming in a magical lake, working with the water element
  • Creating a fire ceremony together
  • Intuitive healing activation sessions (if you wish to go deeper into certain themes)
  • 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.

* I will ask you about your diet wishes and allergies. We make sure you have all the ingredients and recipes ready at the start of the retreat so you can cook your own food in the kitchen of the retreat-building, or in your private kitchen in the caravan. We buy as much as possible organic.

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

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’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.

Don’t want to make your own dinner during your retreat?

It’s possible to add this extra option to your retreat when you don’t feel like cooking your own meals. What do you get?

  • Breakfast is self-catered: you select your choices before the start of the retreat and the ingredients are ready in the kitchen.
  • Lunch is partly self-catered: I will bring you a fresh home-made soup the day before. You can warm up your soup, and in addition, there will be bread, toppings and some fresh vegetables available.
  • I will make you a home-cooked dinner every evening.

This option will cost an additional Є495 on top of the retreat price.

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

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.

Eline van der Hoeven - Netherlands

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.

Individual Retreat

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.

Individual Retreat

I arrived friday 29th September late afternoon/evening very tired, bad back & feeling negative & exhausted with health & emotional issues rampaging me all through from 69+ years of "LIFE'S TROUBLES"! And slowly, surely, competently & carefully with sensitivity, love, intelligence & persistence Demi taught/showed/guided me to see and integrate the path I am now able to take and follow for total reconciliation & health in every aspect! What a woman... Demi is wonderful and thank you is not enough. Love & Blessings.

Individual Retreat

Demi, you are an angel. I truly believe we were meant to meet, you have taught me so much. I came here a broken woman, now I return to England, the very best version of myself. You have brought my creative spark back to life, and I can now really see the beauty in simplicity. I return home with a mended heart, healed from trauma, right and a positive outlook on life. And even better mum to my two children. The week has been a beautiful healing journey. We have laughed together, cried together, exchanged energy's, burned away the evil, I have written a book, Yoga, painted, cooked new recipes, and found who Chloe is again. Never stop being who you are Demi, you're an inspiration, and such a pure human, ♥ and a blessing. A Quote for future guests. "Sometimes when you’re in a dark place, you think you have been burried, but actually you've been planted". Peace & Love.

Individual Retreat

What a great investment in, and gift for, yourself when you book the private retreat with Demi. The space, tranquility and nature did a lot with me. Just take a break from your busy life and relax and recharge in Sweden's nature. During the 5 days of the program of the retreat, Demi takes the time to guide you during certain sessions. Guided meditations, intuitive walks, in-depth conversations or a creative session. Demi senses very well what is needed at that moment, and knows what you need in regards to certain themes. What I especially like about this retreat, and find powerful about Demi, is that it's not just a week where Demi does all the work and you just 'receive'. Usually after such a week you have all kinds of intentions, but it is impossible to keep it up at home. That is different with this retreat. Demi shows you that you can do a lot of things yourself. You can work with energy yourself, provide healing & apply the things learned during the week very practically in your daily life. Demi really empowers you during this week. I've been home for a while, but I already feel great changes in my energy and I can practically apply my insights in my daily life.

Wieke Ristimaki – Netherlands

Individual Retreat

I went to the Anneberg Center for a 7-day private retreat with the expectation of finding something new, I actually found myself back. Nature all around will provide the resources for your journey, whether it be physical or spiritual. Regardless of the moment of your life and the answers you are looking for, be sure that Demi will be more than your host, she will be your perfect terrestrial guide. A spiritual retreat is a beautiful parenthesis in life, a suspended moment to recharge, reset, restart…a life changing experience and a love gift to ourselves.

Tina Nguyen – France

Individual Retreat

A week in the forest in beautiful Sweden, a dream came true. My intention for this retreat was to find more peace and to connect with myself again. And I found it! The location of the retreat is so peaceful and the centre itself amplifies this. It feels very safe and secure. I took this journey with two beautiful women. From day one it just felt right. It felt safe and secure, eventhough we all have a completely different life back home. It was meant to be. Lots of support, laughs and tears were shared. And we could do our own thing. Demi was very intune with the group and process. Her energy brought this group and place together. She gave us exactly what we needed, even if it is was different then what we thought. She spoiled us with good food, amazing meditations and deep inner work. I found the peace in myself I was looking for. And I connected with myself on a deeper level. By embracing the ‘weirdness’ in myself and sharing this with the others. This retreat gave me so much more then I expected. Demi's tips gave me the support I need to keep this going at home. Thank you Demi for this beautiful week and your support on this amazing journey 🧡
