Golden Heart Winter Retreat
Gro & Claire
12 -15 February 2026

Ritual. Realness. Restoration.
A sacred space to soften, listen, and remember the truth of who you are.
You were born with a golden thread inside you.
A soul-seed. A spark. A knowing.
It whispered your purpose long before the world taught you who to be.
​
But along the way, you were told to be realistic. To be nice. To fit in.
You learned to protect your heart.
To survive instead of shine.
To carry it all, even when it wasn’t yours to hold.
​
We’re here to tell you: it does not have to be this way.
There is another path. One that’s soft, sacred, and entirely your own.
​
This retreat is a remembering.
A return to your inner flame.
A space where your soul is not just welcomed, but witnessed.
​
We will gather in the deep winter woods of Norway, where the silence is sacred and the snow holds the seen and unseen partsof you safely..
​
We’ll breathe. Move. Melt. Accept. Reclaim.
We’ll speak to the parts of you that got left behind, and invite them back with gold.
​
This is not a performance.
It’s a ritual of wholeness.
A celebration of your becoming.​​
​
This retreat is for the woman who…
​
-
Feels a quiet ache she can’t name, a longing to reconnect with her own soul.
-
Has supported others, held space, given her all… but is ready to be held.
-
Yearns for silence, slowness, beauty, and ritual.
-
Feels something stirring - a call to live from truth, not trauma.
-
Wants to remember the spark she came here with.
-
Desires a sisterhood that sees beyond the mask, and meets her as her authentic self.
-
Is tired of fixing, forcing, and figuring it all out.
-
Is ready to soften, open, and come home to her heart.

​​​​This space is not about doing more. It’s about remembering who you are beneath it all. It’s a sacred pause. A place to feel what’s true, and let your golden thread guide you forward.
​
Meet your guides: Gro & Claire
​​
Gro: is a truth-teller, pattern-seer, and guide of identity reclamation. She works through voice, beauty, precision, and presence. Gro creates a field of deep emotional safety where you remember who you really are, beneath conditioning, beyond performance.
She has walked through heartbreak, betrayal, deep rage, and emerged with a sacred map back to the heart. Her presence is an anchor. Her work is a mirror. Her retreats are a return to soul.
​
“Gro created a safe, magical container where I could finally hear my own voice again. Her guidance brought me home to myself in a way I didn’t know I needed.”
​
Claire: is an intuitive initiator, emotional alchemist, and pattern translator. She’s here to disrupt performance culture and rewire women back to emotional truth, body-led wisdom, and sustainable devotion.
​
Claire’s clients say they feel “emotionally safe, seen, and strong” in her presence. She doesn’t fix. She reminds. She meets you in the feeling before the figuring. Together, you create coherence, where the nervous system can finally exhale, and your soul can speak.
“Claire combined deep expertise in EFT and Aroma Point Therapy with a compassionate approach, creating a supportive environment for healing and growth.”
​
Together, we hold a space that is both soft and focused. Playful and powerful with ritual and realness. We bring the frequency of “you don’t need to be ready. You just need to arrive.”
​
The Golden Heart Experience
​
Welcome to a soul sanctuary with grounded scaffolding.
This is not a program. Not a performance.
It’s a sacred field for what is ready to emerge in you.
​
You’ll arrive in the snow-draped forest of Sørskogbygda, Norway, where winter wraps around you like a quiet blessing. The retreat space is a sanctuary of contrasts: ancient timber buildings, softened by candlelight. Sleek Danish design, held within centuries-old timber walls. Lush beds. Grounding beauty. Thoughtful details that embody the knowing sensation that: you are safe here.
​
From the moment you enter the Yoga Shala, a cathedral of oak, crowned with a window that frames the lake and forest like a magical portal, you’ll feel it: your nervous system exhaling. Your soul arriving. Your truth stirring.
​
Each day is emergent and intentional.
We honour rhythm, not rigidity.
Meals will anchor our time together: nourishing, plant-based creations from our in-house chef, served with care and delight.
​
Between those anchors, the field opens and will include:
​
Morning movement, breath, or stillness meeting the body where it is
-
Sacred ceremony: cacao, oils, meditation, voice, ritual
-
The Heart ritual: breaking and mending your own ceramic heart, Kintsugi-style, witnessing the beauty in your cracks. This process and ritual takes place in it’s own rhythm over the course of the weekend
-
Restorative integration: journaling, silence, swimming, firelight conversations, sisterhood
-
Optional cold plunges, warm saunas, swims in the heated pool (for those of us with a cold aversion), slow walks, shared laughter
This is a living retreat. We follow the thread of what is alive, in the group, in your body, in the collective field. Moving with the flow and needs/pace of the group.
​
What wants to move will move.
What wants to be seen will rise.
You don’t have to force. You don’t have to be ready.
Just arrive. And we’ll meet you there.
​
This Is Transformation With a Pulse
​
We don’t lead from performance.
We don’t rush the ritual.
We’re here to co-create a field where truth has space to speak, and your body gets to feel what’s real.
​
This is the art of feminine emergence, wrapped in the arms of structure.
A retreat where every thread leads back to the heart.
Where gold is not something you earn, it’s what’s always been there, hidden beneath your scars and life experience.
​
The Core essence of the retreat
​
The Heart Ritual by Open Your Heart Studio
​
Break open. Mend in gold. Remember your worth.
​
You’ll hold your own ceramic heart, connect with it as being a part of you, break it with intention, and then rebuild it with golden threads through the cracks, while witnessing the beauty of your story. This is not an empty gesture. This is memory. This is recognition of the unique path and wisdom you hold in your life experience.
​
This is medicine.
​
Trust Restoration with Essential Oils
Using the profound modality of Aroma Point Therapy, we’ll recalibrate your energetic boundaries, gently releasing, purging, and reweaving what’s ready to shift. This sequence helps you:
​
-
Rebuild internal safety
-
Reopen to intimacy
-
Restore deep self-trust as a foundation for connection
​​
Sacred Cacao Ceremony
In circle, in guided meditation, in ritual we’ll gather to drink ceremonial cacao, drop into our bodies, and open the heart space together.
​
Embodied Stillness + Nourishment
Sauna by the lake, winter lake plunges, warm indoor swimmingpool, nourishing organic meals, deep rest in cozy luxury beds, and the stillness of forest and snow. Everything is curated for you to land in your frequency again.
​
Daily Flow & Nourishment
​​
Meals anchor the day. Ceremony holds the rest. This retreat doesn’t follow a rigid timetable, we follow what’s alive. There’s time for ritual, rest, laughter, movement, and silence. Everything is woven in the moment, and every detail is held for you.
​
What we will weave with:
​
-
Cacao ceremony & sister circle
-
Aroma point therapy; guided self appliction in circle
-
Optional spinal treatment in group setting with essential oils for whole nervous system nourishment and balancing – applied by hosts
-
Sauna & cold plunge in the lake
-
Storytelling by firelight
-
Meditation, movement, and restorative silence
-
Time for journaling, connection, or simply being
​​
The Location
Søsætra Retreat Centre – Authentic Norwegian Woods
Modern meets ancient. Exquisite design, Love in every detail, forest silence, snow-covered stillness, and a yoga shala that opens to the winter lake.
​
This is not a rustic hut. This is soul-luxury in nature’s raw embrace.
​
Organic linens. Gourmet meals. Swimming pool. Sauna and lake plunges. Spaciousness and beauty designed to hold you.
​
This Is Your Invitation to Come Home
​
There’s a golden thread pulling at your heart.
A quiet whisper.
A yearning to remember.
​
To feel rooted in your body, connected to your heart,
and held in a world that often feels too fast, too loud, too much.
​
You’re not seeking to “fix” yourself.
You’re longing for meaning. Belonging. Peace.
​
To breathe in stillness.
To feel the firelight on your skin.
To hear your own soul again.
​
If your heart is leaning in…
If your body feels the yes…
​
We’ll be here
with open arms, a warm hearth, and the soft hush of the forest,
ready to walk with you into the mystery.
​
Will you join us?
