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

  • 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.

    Individual Retreat

  • 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.

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.
