A four-day New Year Forrest Yoga and Energy Medicine Retreat
Nøsen · 28–31 January 2027
Intention into Form is a four-day immersion using Forrest Yoga, Energy Medicine, meditation and journalling to help you take what you sense inwardly and begin to live it outwardly.
This offering is an invitation for those of you who feel called to make an effort towards a physical and spiritual reset: to declutter what has become outdated, heavy or restrictive; to make space for a deeper connection to Spirit; and, through that connection, to hear your own authentic, intuitive voice more clearly.
Positive change and evolution often require us to move against unconscious patterns. These patterns can become so familiar that we stop recognising them as patterns at all—they simply become how we think, react, and move through life. Breaking through the autopilot barrier can feel overwhelming and, quite frankly, difficult to do alone. Things can feel even darker during winter darkness, which can intensify feelings of being lost and helpless.
This retreat is for those who genuinely wish to make an effort to grow and who would value proper support and guidance along the way. It is for those who want the new year to mark the beginning of a new era and to dream their life into being.
Forrest Yoga and Energy Medicine
Each morning will begin with a juicy and intensive Forrest Yoga practice, interwoven with Ceremony to strengthen the power of the intent. The physical practices will be strong and engaging, yet accessible to all levels. Accessible does not mean passive or easy. You will be offered choices so that you can work intelligently with your own body, while still being invited to explore beyond what is familiar.
The purpose is not to perform advanced poses to prove anything. You will be offered a sacred space to use breath, sensation, and movement to notice where you hold back, you disconnect, or force—and what becomes possible when you choose to remain present.
In the afternoon, through Energy Medicine, you will learn another language to listen within. We will use practical exercises to explore how energy moves through the body, what may be depleting you, and how you can reconnect with a greater sense of vitality, presence and internal direction.
Together, Forrest Yoga and Energy Medicine invite us to work with both the visible and invisible aspects of our experience: the body we can feel and move, the patterns underneath our choices, and the inner signals we may have learned to ignore as well as the wisdom residing in our energy field.
Alongside these practices, there will be guided meditative journeys, vision questing and journalling. These will help us quiet some of the cloudiness of the mind, access creativity and imagination, and create the conditions in which the voice of Spirit may become easier to perceive.
From clarity into action
But clarity alone is not enough. Many of us arrive at the edge of meaningful action and stop. We know what we want. We may even know what needs to change. Yet, taking the first step can feel frightening, inconvenient or simply too far outside our established identity.
My aspiration is that the work we do together will offer you a gentle but persuasive push towards action—not by telling you how you should live, but by helping you recognise what is genuinely yours and what you are prepared to do about it.
Through journalling and reflection, you will begin forming your own course of action: identifying what you want to release, what you wish to nurture, and which tangible first steps can support the life your heart yearns to live.
This retreat is about beginning to loosen what restricts your relationship with who you already are—and allowing your intention to take form through your choices, your actions and the way you live.
Come if you are willing to make an effort, receive support and participate honestly. Come with the parts of you that feel clear, hopeful, confused or resistant.
We will begin there.
