A soul sanctuary for the woman who knows there’s something more.
February 12–15, 2026
Søsætra Retreat Center, Norwegian Forest
Dear woman with the wise heart,
You’ve walked the path.
You’ve held others.
You’ve done the deep work.
And still, something inside whispers…
“There’s something more to be lived. Something that is mine.”
I want to personally invite you to The Golden Heart Retreat, a 4-day, 3-night soul sanctuary in the snowy stillness of the Norwegian forest. A space designed not to teach you more, but to help you remember what you already know.
There’s no fixed itinerary here. No schedule packed with back-to-back workshops.
Instead, you’ll be met with:
Ceremony, silence, and snow
Luscious food, sacred ritual, and deep rest
Kintsugi and ceramic heart work, cacao and oils, meditations and movement
The transformation happens in the moment, in the presence of women who feel called to gather. We co-create the field. We follow the golden threads of truth. We return to the fire within.
This is not about fixing.
It’s about remembering.
It's about softening the noise, meeting your own heart, and hearing your soul again.
We’ll be waiting in the woods-
With open arms and a warm fire.
Are you coming?
A 4 days, 3 nights, soul sanctuary for visionary women ready to embody their truth.

This is a retreat for the woman who knows she came here for more.
You've walked the path. Held others. Done the work. But your inner voice is still whispering: "There's something more to be lived."
This is your space to hear it.
To soften the noise.
To land in your body.
To meet your heart.
To remember the truth beneath your brilliance.
In the snow-kissed silence of the Nordic winter, we invite you to lay it all down.
The performance.
The mental overworking.
The spiritual pressure.
Come back to the fire within.
This is for you if...
You’re a visionary, coach, healer, guide or entrepreneur who’s on your personal development journey, but your message, purpose, or inner voice still feels fuzzy
You feel emotionally deep, mentally tired, and crave nervous system peace, not more “tools”
You long to feel safe in your full self-expression and clear in your inner authority
You want to integrate everything you’ve learned into your body, not just your mind
You want to be held in a space where you can finally put down the weight of “doing it right” and REST in the unknown
The Heart Ritual by Open Your Heart Studio
An artful, transformative journey using handcrafted ceramic hearts and the golden Japanese art of Kintsugi. Through ritual, reflection, and sacred play, you’ll:
Honour your lived story, cracks and all
Reclaim the wisdom in your wounds
Reignite the flame of purpose hidden in your past
Trust Restoration with Essential Oils
Using the profound modality of Aroma Point Therapy, we’ll recalibrate your energetic boundaries, gently releasing, purging, and reweaving what’s ready to shift. This sequence helps you:
Rebuild internal safety
Reopen to intimacy
Restore deep self-trust as a foundation for connection
Sacred Cacao Ceremony
In circle, in guided meditation, in ritual we’ll gather to drink ceremonial cacao, drop into our bodies, and open the heart space together.
Embodied Stillness + Nourishment
Sauna by the lake, winter lake plunges, warm indoor swimmingpool, nourishing organic meals, deep rest in cozy luxury beds, and the stillness of forest and snow. Everything is curated for you to land in your frequency again.

Her insights, intuition, and deep presence helped me release years of confusion and step into my voice and purpose with clarity.”

Absolutely. Many women find that coming solo allows them to fully surrender into their own process, without needing to manage others’ needs or energy.
Most of our retreat work is individual, even though we’re in sacred community.
And trust us, deep, authentic connections tend to form organically when we meet each other in openness and truth.Single rooms are available for those who wish to have private space.

Change makers.. Visionary women. Heart-led entrepreneurs. Coaches, healers, teachers, space-holders, empaths.

Not at all. Everything we offer is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
