4 days Autumn Medicine Retreat or 8 days Plant Quest/Dieta

A Journey into the Embrace of Nature, Spirit and Your Own Soul

This autumn, we reopen the gates to the ancient temple of plants — and invite you to step inside. To slow down. Listen deeply. And remember who you truly are.

At its heart, the Autumn Medicine Retreat is a 4-day prayer to the earth:
A time to let go of what no longer serves, receive the teachings of the plants and the forest, and welcome new energies in sacred ceremony.

For those who feel called, the journey can be extended into an 8-day Quest/Dieta — a time of silence, solitude, and communion with nature. (see more at the end of this page)

What we offer

Like the temples of old, we guide you in and out of the sacred grove:
✨ Supporting you to find your question to sit with
✨ Cleansing and preparing you for ceremony
✨ Holding space for the ceremonies themselves
✨ And helping you listen for, receive and integrate the answers

As Autumn slowly lands in our garden and our body, the draw towards earth becomes stronger. The draw inwards & downwards. This is a time to come back to yourself. Back to the backbone of your truth, your being and what you truly are in alignment with.

In alignment with the energy of the seasons, each year in November we have a intimate healing retreat with jungle medicine. As always when we work with these potent medicines we have preparation and integration sessions as part of the journey.

Preparation & Integration

We believe the time before and after ceremony is as important as the ceremonies themselves.
That’s why your journey includes:

• Online preparation circle: 6th of November, 16.00–18.00

• Online integration circle: 3rd of December, 16.00–18.00

• 1 x individual preparation session (in-person or online)

• 1 x individual integration session (in-person or online)

These circles and sessions offer a breathing space — to reflect, root, and bring the wisdom of the forest home to your everyday life.

The sessions can become a reflective space, a breathing space for you to reflect on your journey, dive deeper into your current state and support your direction in life - bridging the magic of the forest and the ceremonies with everyday life.

FAQ

• What kind of “medicine” do you work with?

  In our retreats, “medicine” means more than a substance.
  It is everything that helps you remember who you are: the breath of the forest, the warmth of the fire, the silence of the night sky, your own song.
  We will work with local plant medicines through e.g. plant treatments, oils and herbal extracts.
  
  We also hold two deep plant-guided meditation ceremonies with jungle medicine, offered with great care, humility, and intention. The plants are our teachers; we are simply their keepers.
  
  If you do join the Plant/Song Quest, you might also have a ceremony wiht Ceremonial Cacao.

• I’ve never joined a retreat like this before. Do I need experience?

  No. What matters most is your openness and your willingness to listen deeply.
  We hold space for both experienced travelers and those meeting this path for the first time. You will be guided, supported and never left alone with what arises.

• What is the difference between the 4-day retreat and the 8-day Quest?

  The 4-day retreat is a shared journey of ceremony, reflection and reconnection — a space to slow down, release and receive.
  The 8-day Quest extends this into a personal pilgrimage: time in solitude, deeper nature practices, and listening for your question, vision or song.
  The Quest is not a strict dieta, but draws on similar principles of stillness, simplicity and communion with the living world.

• Why do you work with such small groups and include preparation & integration?

  Because true healing and transformation need time, space and care. By keeping our circles intimate (max. 8 participants), each person’s journey can be seen and supported.
  The preparation and integration sessions are there to help you arrive more fully, dive deeper, and carry what you receive into your daily life — grounding the magic into something real and lived.

• What if something comes up during ceremony?

  This work can touch deep places. And that is exactly why we keep our groups small and intimate — so there is space for every individual process to unfold gently and with care.

  With many years of combined experience in nature-based therapy, shamanic practices and trauma-informed care, we create a safe, non-judgmental space where everything is welcome. We meet you where you are, help you integrate what arises, and remind you: you are not alone.

  This is also why preparation and integration are woven into the retreat itself:

  • An online group preparation circle before we meet

  • An online group integration circle afterwards

  • Individual preparation and integration sessions with us

  These spaces help you land in yourself before ceremony, deepen your experience during, and bring the plant wisdom home into your everyday life — so it doesn’t remain just a memory, but becomes part of how you live and walk in the world.

• What does a typical day look like?

  Every day we move between gathering together and resting/meditating apart. There are morning grounding practices, nature meditations, plant treatments, ceremonies, sharing circles and long pauses to simply be.
  No two retreats are alike — we follow the rhythm of nature and the needs of the circle.

• Where will we sleep?

  In cozy shared rooms at the beautiful country estate surrounded by fields and forest. Accommodation is simple yet warm, supporting you to slow down and be close to nature.

  We do have a few options for people sleeping in their own room alone. This will be prioritized for the participants of the Plant/Song Quest.

• What about food?

  We serve organic, biodynamic, local and vegetarian meals — nourishing body and spirit alike. Meals are part of the medicine: shared, mindful, grounding.

• Can I come if I take medication or have health considerations?

  Please reach out to us directly. We take your health seriously and will speak with you to understand your situation and see if this retreat is the right fit at this time.

• How do I sign up?

  Send us an email or message — we’ll arrange a short conversation to ensure it feels aligned for you (and for us).
  Then you secure your spot by paying the deposit.
  If you’re curious about the longer Quest, we’ll talk through your intention and practical details together.

Extension: The 8-Day Quest/Dieta

For those wishing to go deeper, the 4-day retreat can be extended into a full 8-day journey (Sunday 16th – Sunday 23rd November).

This intimate continuation includes everything from the Retreat plus:

• 4 additional days of solitude, silence, and communion with nature

• 1 additional plant ceremony (total of 3)

• Potential Sweatlodge Ceremony (depending on group size)

The Pathways within the 8 day-Quest

🌿 Plant Quest
Inspired by Nordic Udesidning (sitting out in nature), you’ll spend time in solitude, prayer, or visioning — perhaps with a plant ally. This is a space to listen for your soul song, walk with your question, and carry your medicine home.

🌿 Song Quest
A chance to apprentice more closely with the medicine of song — exploring icaros, healing songs, protection, and the art of holding ceremonial space.

🌿 Nordic Dieta
A time of quiet and communion with a single plant ally. Step back from daily life, live simply, and enter into dialogue with the living world around you. Supported by local plants, treatments, and ceremony.

With love and softness,

Stephan and Eva Maria
