The experience

Imagine a sacred space where your heart’s whispers meet the ancient pulse of the earth. Through shamanic healing, soul-awakening rituals, and practices that reconnect you to your wild, untamed wisdom, you will release what is been holding you back. Every moment will bring you closer to the truth of who you really are, shedding old fears and stories so your true self can rise.

We will explore those fears and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck, beliefs that may have once served to protect you but no longer align with the path of your truth. Together, we will release these patterns so you can fully step into your own energy and truth and decide to live it fully.

"If everyone would live with an open heart - we would automatically make choices in benefit of all - ourselves, others and the planet"
- Alixe

The Facilitators

Alixe van Ogtrop

Transformational Therapy

Alixe fuses the ancient teachings of shamanism with the most recent discoveries of neuroscience. Her passion lies in holding space for beings to expand their edge, so they can evolve and embody more of themselves. By emanating light she invites the shadow pieces to be seen and transformed into love. She loves to bring you a little bit out of your comfort zone so that we can cut through all the bullshit and storyland and get to the essence and be real!

Cultural anthropologist

Henriette, a cultural anthropologist, worked as a corporate culture specialist in various global locations before her journey into the world of subtle energies. After 15 years abroad, she underwent trainings in family constellations, aura chakra readings , life coaching, aura soma therapy and thus began her exploration of the deeper connections between heaven and earth. Over the past decade she has focused her expertise on medical coaching, utilizing Advanced Clearing Energetics to release trauma and aid clients to get back in balance. Henriette, bringing the wisdom of the body and energy work together (body/mind/soul) will guide you into deep meditations/ visualisations and make your breath your biggest teacher to search for any (possible) blockages in your energy system that keep you from living life to the fullest.

FAQ

We welcome anyone in this experience and we meet you exactly where you are on your journey. Maybe you are just starting, ready to dive deep or maybe you have journeyed long and far and are ready to level up. All we ask for is for you to commit to your inner growth and take responsibility for your inner world. Ready to raise your consciousness and be free!

What makes this retreat truly stand out is its remarkable fusion of ancient wisdom and modern science. Unlike other retreats, we uniquely blend the insights of neuroscience with the wisdom of shamanism. Led by experts in both fields, this program promises not only effectiveness but also transformative power. By harmonizing these two worlds, we provide an experience that goes beyond the ordinary, offering a profound journey of growth and healing that's both impactful and exceptional.

If you are open and curious to explore your inner world. If you feel ready to dive in deep while at the same time feel nourished, held and replenished. If you are looking for a real and authentic experience where you will be encouraged to find your own inner wisdom instead of people telling you what the truth is, this is your place to be!
