Silent retreat in the south of Sweden

Escape the noise. Embrace the silence. Rediscover yourself on deeper layers and find new clarity and direction.

Power of silence

Silence is not the absence of something, but the presence of everything.

Why a silence retreat?

This retreat is for you if you feel the need to BE with yourself for a week. Without all the distractions at home. Without other people telling you what to do, or how to be. Maybe there are certain life choices you are about to make, maybe you need clarity, new inspiration, or just SILENCE.

Is it long ago that you felt connected to your own body and intuition? Is it hard to feel the difference between the noise of the mind and your own wisdom? Maybe you’re tired, or even burned-out. Or you’re missing a sense of deeper meaning in your life. You want to feel again who you are, deep inside. And you know that you can reach that inner core by being in silence, with yourself.

  • You’re looking for answers or new inspiration
  • You’re longing for rest and inner peace
  • You want to experience your own inner strength
  • You feel the need to deeply connect with yourself
  • You want to have time to process certain things or emotions

Moments of reflection

Guidance during your retreat

During this journey you will receive guidance on the first day of your retreat, and on the last day. The days in between you will be with yourself, in silence. You have plenty of time to relax, meditate, roam around in the forests around the property, visit a lake, drink your tea on a rock, cook your own food, and draw or write in your notebook.

The sessions will be adjusted to where you are right now and what your focus points are. So it can be a combination of coaching, healing, guided inner meditation, intuitive exercises, or just talking or being in nature together – whatever you prefer and need.

On the last session we will also take time to make all the insights you’ve received practical, so you will have tools to work with in your daily life. In this way, you can take your next steps from a place of self-confidence and inner strength when you are at home.

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.

SOME NICE WORDS ABOUT MY RETREATS

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Hello from Australia! If you are reading this review, wondering if Working with Demi is for you, then THIS is the sign you have been looking for. My 6 days with Demi, and the wonderful other participants was mind changing. I learned so much about myself and inner needs, I learned the power of working alongside other, like minded women and I learned that the life I want, as a woman, as ME, is not just possible, but necessary. I learned that self care, and self love, are not just words, but a way of life. Demis knowledge, warm, kindness and openness is visible from the moment you make contact with her. Did I mention the time available to wander in the beautiful Swedish Forrest, REAL time to rest and recharge, and delicious home cooked meals? Working with Demi is all of that and so much more. I am deeply grateful that I found this retreat and made myself a priority. It is a gift that I will never regret giving myself. Thank you Demi, from the bottom of my heart.

  • 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.

  • 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,

Practical and extra information

Food
You will cook your own meals in your private caravan kitchen (fridge, small freezer and oven available – but no microwave), or (in case you’re staying in a private room), in the kitchen of the retreat building (also fridge, freezer and oven available).

The ‘back to basic’ version 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 shop. 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. You will cook your own food.

The ‘All inclusive’ package 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. I will take into account the things you don’t eat/allergies and buy as much as possible organic. You will cook your own food.

Travelling

The entire retreat spans 7 days, including 1 arrival day and 1 departure day.

On the arrival day, you can arrive from 12:00 onwards, and I will pick you up from the train station. On the departure day, you can have a relaxed breakfast, after which I will take you to the train station at a time that suits you best (unless you are arriving by car). Checking out is before 12.00.

You can travel by car, plane, or train. Flying is possible, for instance, to Copenhagen. From there, it’s another 3 hours by train, which on most days has a direct connection from Copenhagen to Hovmantorp. I will pick you up at the Hovmantorp trainstation and bring you there on the day of departure.

Location

Anneberg Retreat-center is located in the middle of the forest between Lessebo and Hovmantorp, and 30 minutes from Växjö city.
