The Program
You’re invited to a transformative experience where we’ll explore the language of your nervous system with curiosity and self-compassion.
Louise’s goal is to help you step back this weekend, lean into yourself, and trust that nature has your back and that your answers are within you. Let go of the urge to push, figure things out, or drive forward. Instead, allow yourself to pause, settle, and surrender, even if just for a brief moment, to simply being.
From this grounded place, your mind will find clarity, and you may discover the courage to listen to your own inner magic. Louise will guide you in understanding your cravings, symptoms, and how you might be standing in your own way.
TRUE retreats offer a safe, intimate, and transformative space with like-minded individuals, so you know you’re not alone on this journey.
The Location
The retreat takes place at the historic Sandsgården in Gopshus, a charming Dala Village located 20 km northwest of Mora. Nestled in the stunning mountain landscape of Dalarna, this privately owned estate features 11 double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and shower. Relax in the sauna and hot tub by the creek, and if you’re feeling adventurous, take a refreshing cold plunge.
This programme is a mindful blend of action and stillness. Experience gentle, intentional body movements alongside mindful exercises that encourage deep inner exploration in your own time. Our hikes through the breathtaking landscape connect us with nature, while evening fire ceremonies provide a space to integrate and reflect on the day’s teachings and insights.
“ Nature's rhythm sets the pace as the morning light touches my eyes. With bare feet on the moist earth I take it all in, I snuggled up in a warm knitted hoodie as I am sipping on a warm cup of tea. I slowly move off the deck and into the main hall. I feel every joint, breath and muscle in my strong body as the morning practice awakens and energizes my body. In a slow yet steady pace, my body then takes me to the kitchen navigated by the freshly made coffee and nourishing omelet. As I enter the kitchen I smile as I notice the colorful smoothies and feel the whole hearted atmosphere. I am held, I am taken care of, I relax.”
What To Expect
As you return home, this retreat will equip you with both practical tools and techniques and, more importantly, a gentler mindset. You’ll leave with a newfound ability to maintain a grounded connection with your nervous system, feeling more centred and at peace. If you seek ongoing support, a welcoming community is ready for you to join.
Food
Our private chef will be serving nourishing meals for both a grounding body and an awakened soul, everything in sync with the season and the local farmers. We are serving dairy and gluten free meals throughout our days together.

See what previous attendees had to say about the last retreat:
“With one foot in biochemistry and the other in energy medicine this was a truly transformative weekend - on many levels. It invited a deep dive within, finding tools to calm myself in the eye of the storm & courage to be in the storm. Guiding me with my heart as the compass to locate where I am today and where I would like to go.”
“This has been both educational but first & foremost an expansion of my senses. I realize that I stand in my own way yet I have gained hope - fascinated by that the body does nothing by chance.”
“This weekend has opened up a whole new world to me. Thank you very much.”
“Louise leads wonderfully from the heart. She is attentive and humble at the same time as she encourages personal responsibility and that the power is within you. The way she sees the big picture is unique.”
