Women of all ages – warmly welcome to an exciting retreat where we get to know the feminine energy on a deeper level!
The feminine. She is Creative. Powerful. Protective. Wild. Playful. Brave. Flowing. So much more than what we may have learned is “feminine”.
Within every woman there is an infinite power, a natural connection to nature, and passionate creativity. Different things in life may have contributed to not having deep contact with ourselves and our full potential.
What if everything we need, everything we want to be, everything we want to give… already exists within us? Ready to be unleashed. This retreat is an introduction to opening up to and inhabiting the wholeness of ourselves, where all parts are allowed. So that we can use all our power to operate in this world. A world that needs us more than ever.

”I can warmly recommend this retreat with Anna! It has been 4 days of so much inspiration, wisdom and love. I feel re-charged, grounded and inspired to continue working on my self-care, rituals, dance and to explore the Feminine and spirituality. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
During this retreat, YOU will, among other things:
- Start your day with a soft flowing form of yoga that includes meditation, intention setting, movement, breathing, chanting and relaxation.
- Learn more about the different cycles that affect your life such as the seasons in nature, the moon cycle and your own menstrual cycle (even if you are in menopause).
- Participate in embodiment workshops where we explore how we can deepen our acceptance respect and honor of the body.
- Explore pleasure, sensuality and playfulness as a valuable and important part of feminine energy and self-care
- Dance to the rhythm of music that goes into the soul! No choreography is needed when we let the music and our body communicate directly with each other. We practice letting go of the mind and being in our body. And if we are lucky, we will be able to dance barefoot in the woods!!
- Enhance your relationship with the breath through Connected Breathwork, a powerful breathing exercise that is a natural way to get into a state of flow, let go of stagnant energy and tension in the body and become clear in the mind.
And much more! It is also an opportunity to share and be vulnerable with other women. These will be days where we take off our masks, and can feel a deep togetherness and community. You don’t need any preparation to participate in this retreat.
A warm welcome just the way YOU ARE!
Please note that this retreat will be taught in Swedish.

Anna Wikfalk
Anna has been teaching yoga since 2007 when she became a certified yoga teacher from Yoga Thailand and since then has taken many other yoga trainings.
She has a deep passion for mindfulness mediation and self-compassion, which she has been teaching since 2010. She is trained in many mindfulness programs such as MBSR, MBCT, MBCPP, MB-EAT, MECL, MSC, Self-compassion for teens (MFY) etc.
In the last years her main interest and subject for deepening has been and still is the divine feminine energy. She has attended various trainings based on both the Tantra and Taoist traditions as well as modern science.
In February 2022 she is (hopefully!) a certified Somatic Sex and Pleasure Coach in the VITA method by Layla Martin. Anna is running a yoga and meditation studio in Aspudden, Stockholm since 2007.
”An incredibly valuable, energy-giving, insightful, loving retreat together with like-minded women at an incredibly beautiful location. You will be re-born!”
”Just go to this retreat! It has been incredible on all levels: physical, emotional and on a soul-level. And held in a very inclusive, respectful and loving way. It was like going into another world, a world of its own. Deep thank you.”
