Ignite
Your Inner Light

Our cozy retreat center, nestled in the midst of Swedish nature and surrounded by mossy rocks, trees, and lakes, offers a ‘safe haven’ for a small-scale group retreat with a maximum of 4 women. This is a place where you can rest, recharge, and awaken your inner light. Experience the art of slowing down, connect with your feminine and creative energy, and become captivated by the beauty of nature – fully present in the moment.

This retreat is about ‘igniting your inner light’: remembering and activating your true potential, from which you can create your most beautiful life. It’s a rediscovery of your own wisdom, gifts, (self)love, and soul purpose.

If you’re honest, to what extent are you living your potential? Where are you still keeping yourself small, repeating old patterns and getting caught up in all kinds of distractions? To what extent do you live in alignment with your soul’s essence? And where do you not yet dare to trust your own intuition and the flow of life?

You will rediscover who YOU are, what you are here to do, and how you can embody this in your daily life. Your ‘Inner Light’: that is ready to shine!

The pillars of this retreat

Safety

In such a small group, where nobody knows each other and all women come from different parts of the world with their own unique stories and energies, it’s beautiful to witness how much respect and support there is for each other. Women who truly see each other and give each other space, allowing each other to blossom and open up in their most authentic ways.

Nature and Grounding

Nature and working with nature’s energies will be a big focus during this retreat. You will experience how you’re part of nature, how nature heals and guides you, and the importance of true grounding and bodywork for your inner process, allowing your soul to anchor deeper into your body.

Self-Discovery

Who am I deep inside? What is my soul’s purpose? What are my unique gifts, and how can I use them more powerfully? You will find that the real feeling of ‘homecoming’ and inner harmony can only be experienced through the rediscovery and reconnection with your own soul essence.

Intuitive Work

Through intuitive (healing) sessions, excursions, creative exercises, and working with the elements and nature’s energies, you will be guided in your inner process, releasing limiting beliefs, fears, and patterns that no longer serve you. Additionally, you will receive tools and practices that you can use in your daily life to continue on this journey.

The retreat experience

The retreat experience will be customized to the energy of the individuals and the group. 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 as a group.

Examples of what my group-excursions/activities could look like.

  • Guided soul meditations (with or without music)
  • Intuitive nature walks
  • Practices or intuitive exercises in nature
  • Creative explorations (like drawing, painting, creating something)
  • Working with nature’s energies and ceremony
  • Intuitive energy work
  • Little spontaneous adventures, led by intuition
  • Swimming in a magical lake, working with the water element
  • Creating a fire ceremony together
  • Other magical spontaneous things that come up….

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

What does the program look like?

Before the retreat starts, I will have a rough structure for the retreat, but until now, every retreat has turned out to be very different, aligned with the group energy and different persons. The moment the retreat starts, I will sit with the group and tune into the energy. Depending on the sessions of the day itself, I will check in with the group and intuitively decide what we’re going to do the next day. So I will tell you the day before what time we will have our activities the next day. In order for you to have an idea about what a week ‘could’ look like, I made an example scheme:

15.00: Discovering the forests around the terrain, unpacking, drinking tea, little group circle with grounding practices and meditation, and setting intentions for the week (approximately 2 hours).
Evening: Healthy dinner, mindful private walk while spotting some animals, befriending some trees, writing some reflections in your notebook, and falling peacefully asleep in your bedroom with the silence of the countryside.

Morning: Waking up with the sounds of birds and going outside to ground (barefoot on the earth), while breathing in some fresh Scandinavian air.
10.00: Group excursion/activity (approximately 2.5 hours).
15.00: You will go out in nature by yourself to do an individual practice. 
Evening: After a nourishing dinner, you will have free time for relaxation, exploration, or creativity: whatever you feel attracted to. Then, you will have a good night of sleep that recharges your body.

Morning: Waking up and feeling the wish to go outside and drink your cup of tea/coffee in a private spot in the forest, while bringing your notebook for some intuitive writing.
9.30: Yin yoga class.
15.00: Group excursion/activity (approximately 2.5 hours).

Evening: After dinner, you will do some personal practices and further explore the art of grounding and connecting with your feminine energy, after which another peaceful night follows.

Morning: Waking up with a new sense of energy streaming through your body, preparing yourself a nourishing breakfast.
10.00 – until dinner: Silent day for deep self-connection, grounding, and receiving new clarity. You will get practices, tools, and creative exercises (like painting or creating something else) to further deepen the experience of this day.
19.00: After dinner, we will have a group ceremony in the evening (approximately 2 hours).

Morning: Feeling a new foundation within after waking up, with a body and nervous system that feels balanced and strong, going out to connect with nature and your body.
After that, you will have some free time to reflect and integrate all the new energies and insights you’ve received.
15.00: Group activity (approximately 2.5 hours), finishing with practical tools and practices you will bring home to further deepen this beautiful new inner foundation and relationship with yourself.
Evening: After a nourishing dinner, you have time to relax and ground, writing down all the new insights and tools in your notebook.

Waking up feeling recharged, peaceful, and balanced. You are confident about going home, ready to further deepen your inner process with new inspiration, a sense of clarity and joy, and your new practical tools.

This is just an example; the program can be different from this one. And of course, the examples I gave of your personal free time can be adjusted to your personal wishes. But this example will give you an idea about the way I try to balance between free time/individual exercises and group activities.
