Recieve a complete shift in mindset, emotional heart and physical being. While being surrounded by the supportive landscape of the Arctic. Re-awaken your full DNA, your full potential as a human by the insights given by the Northern Lights and Nature.
The Northern Lights as co-creators
Aurora Borealis, how the Northern Lights are officially called, are not only beautiful and breathtaking to watch. They are energized particles from the sun, redirected towards the Poles, by Earth’s Magnetic Field. Creating unique patterns, colors and frequencies regenerating your body, mind and soul.
According to the Northern Lights, exposure to these particles is beneficial for your entire system and as a result unlock more of your DNA, allowing you to become your full potential as a human being.

6 days & 6 Nights
In the book the Northern Lights mention that the ideal time to be under them to have a positive effect is 10 minutes per day for 2 months. This is based on the fact that the temperature in many areas here is very cold (-20 / – 30 degrees Celcius)
Here on the coast where the retreats will be held, temperatures are much higher (0 / -10 degrees Celcius) and therefore its easier to be outside longer at once. We will be around 1-2 hours outside each night which will equalize the same exposure. And yes if its cold, there will be a place to warm up or a cosy bonfire.
Once a Month
The Aurora Retreats are held once a month in coordination with the Northern Lights.

Each morning you have time to be on your own to wander, reflect, contemplate & intergrate.

GUIDANCE
Guided by Marieke Anna
The human guidance is in the hands of Marieke Anna, Interspecies Communicator, Shamanic Practitioner & Retreat Facilitator. And as mentioned before, fully co-designed by the Northern Lights. As they asked Marieke to set up these retreats to let people experience first hand the result if you actively and consiously work with the Northern Lights. Marieke has been downloading their exceptional knowledge and worldview for the last 2 years and the conversations still continues. The book ‘Natureconomy – A Northern Lights Vision’ is the result of their collaboration, which is the base of these Retreats.
In complete co-creation they lead this retreat. Marieke connects with them constantly – with the Northern Lights and Nature – to recieve their input about what is needed for this specific group to benefit the most.
The feedback we have recieved from the Aurora Retreats held last year, is that it is for many a life changing experience which cannot be compared with anything else and the effects are still palpable.
As on this moment Marieke Anna is the only one offering these Retreats in collaboration with the Northern Lights but each participant is encouraged to continue their own unique relationship with the Northern Lights on the level of communication and collaboration they feel comfortable with. As its time that the knowledge the Northern Lights possess, becomes common knowlegde again.
GOOD TO KNOW
As the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, its not guaranteed they will be showing themselves each night, however, they are most nights present, varying in intensity.
Are not included as many people come from different places all over the world. To give an indication. Amsterdam or Düsseldorf has one way tickets starting from € 130,-.
Arrival & Departure Airport: Tromso Airport, Bardufoss Airport or Salangen Airport.
Traveling here goes much slower and relaxed than in most countries.
There are several public transportation options. Like busses and ferries but it will only be available a few times a day. And there is no train or metro in this part of the World.
The name of the busstop here is: Verket (right in front of the house) and the little town is called: Hamn.
Check the local travel planner
Or the local public information center
Renting a car at one of the airports is also a possibilty and quite the scenic route.
The hotel next door also has a pickup service from Finnsnes that you also can book.
In the last years we had a few occasions where the luggage of guests didn't arrive on time.
There is a rule not many people are aware of, that your luggage will not always be send automatically through if you transfer through Oslo.
Please check if the following rule applies to you and if so, calculate more time between arriving on Oslo and departure to here.
"If you arrive in Norway with an airline other than SAS, Norwegian, Widerøe or Emirates and are going to fly further with a domestic flight, you must go down to the arrival hall, collect and deliver any luggage, and go through the security check in the departure hall.This also applies to passengers who only travel with hand luggage."

There are a few possibilities where you can stay. We will have 1 rustic cabin here on the coast in Hamn where we will come together for lunch, dinner and teachings. Here there is also space for 6 people max. (3 bedrooms) but you can also book any hotel or airbnb yourself in the area of Hamn and join us during the retreat activities.
All meals and beverages during the meals are included. Any other are for your own cost.
Lunch and dinner will be prepared by us all together. Breakfast supplies will be provided based on individual preferences.

To benefit the most of this retreat, alcohol and plant medicine are not allowed.
All planned excursions as mentioned in the trip descriptions are included. Its all in walking distance.
The cabin is a traditional Norwegian cabin, which means it has no running water or plumming. Beeing here will give you a new perspective on how much water you use and you will become full aware.
Ofcourse there is water in jerrycans for drinking, doing the dishes, washing yourself by the sink and brushing your teeth.
All water comes straight of the mountain and is of high quality.
Showers can be used on those moments you visit the sauna (in the hotel) or can be booked seperately through the hotel. (approx € 15,-)
There is an indoor toilet in the cabin that works with burning the urine & feces into ashes. (cinderella toilet)
As each group is different, and we get to know you a little bit towards and during the actual retreat, we adjust organically our teachings to your needs and wishes as much as possible.
A family with children might have a different reason to participate and hope to experience then an individual.
So eventhough its a group experience there is much space for personal & individual growth and reflection.
