‘Symbiotic Living’ is not just a retreat nor a course, its a deep impact retreat with 3 months intergrational support afterwards.
It emerges you in full collaboration with Nature on an interlectual and emotional level. As you will understand to the fullest that all are equal. That all natural aspects have a spirit, a frequency, an essence, that you can communicate with, collaborate with, co-exsist with as equals. This retreat will help you to intergrate back into your place in the cycle of All life without having to go back to the lifestyle of our ancestors. Yet implement their knowlegde & close bond to Nature, into the now.
The desire to go beyond animal communication, beyond bushcraft is actually living in symbiosis with all that is. Emerging Worlds through common grounds and heart based decicions trusted by the mind. As it starts with that different mindset, a different perspective, emerging many aspects of Indigenous worldviews seamlessly into modern society, comfort and living.
By changing your mind set, your values, your world view, you will start making different choices in life. This will influence all that you desire, do & buy, therefore it influences the markets; supply and demand. Changing the system gradually, decision by decision, from within.
During this retreat you will learn the Language of Creation, the language that all spirits speak, weither they’re in a body or not. Weither that body is a rock, a tree, an animal, human or beyond. You will become aware of the perspective of Nature, how they think, feel, act, react and how this differs from current human kind viewpoints and beliefs.
You learn about our origins. And actually live in symbiosis with all that is, here in the land. Welcome home.
Once a month a group Zoom meeting of approx 1-2 hours in which we will share how the implementation in our every day life goes. Marieke Anna will give feedback & tips.
Unlimited personal support by WhatsApp / Messenger / voice messages & e-mail. During this period of 3 months you can ask Marieke Anna questions & receive support regarding all that came up during the retreat and requires intergration.
Monthly assignments to help you actually live in symbiosis with All-that-IS.
You can book extra private Zooms sessions to support further integration for a reduced price of € 70,- instead of € 90,- for a whole year after the retreat.
Each day we will be at least 1 hour outside during the day and probably at evening again. We will hike here in nature where we will be welcomed by many individuals in the seen and unseen realms. During most hikes it will be walking, connecting, meeting, communicating, sharing what is received, teachings that then come forth etc. So a hike will most likely mean beeing 2-4 hours outside on an easy pace with many stops and duable for all.
At night the evening program will be based on the lights. In November there is a high probability to see the Northern Lights and connect with them. This is mainly in the surroundings within 10 minutes from the hotel. And in June there is a chance to see the Midnight Sun with its magical golden rays and we might even take a special Midnight Sun hike.
During the retreat there will be several shamanic ceremonies & rituals like an opening and closing ceremony, fire ceremony, Northern Lights ceremony, Summer Solstice Ceremony (June), shamanic journeys, visualisations etc. There will be no plant medicine involved. All ceremonies will be in full collaboration with the land and with the support & permission of their ancestors.

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.“
All planned excursions as mentioned in the Retreat descriptions are included. Its all in walking distance.
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 most of the time a group experience there is much space for personal & individual growth and reflection.
