Return of the Light
A Co-Creative Women’s Retreat in Denmark
August 18–22, 2027 | Fyrregaarden, Denmark
Time to reconnect with yourself, find your people, share your gifts, and remember what makes you feel truly alive.
This is more than a retreat schedule. It is an invitation to slow down, breathe more deeply, listen to the wisdom within you, and experience the beauty of being surrounded by women who are also ready to make room for something new.
Across five days, we will weave together meaningful healing experiences, nourishing practices, heartfelt conversations, nature, creativity, laughter, and the simple pleasures of being alive. There will be space to share and space to receive, to explore and to rest, to go inward and to celebrate together.
Our schedule offers a gentle rhythm to guide our time together, while leaving room for spontaneity, personal discoveries, and the magic that naturally emerges when women gather with open hearts.
Please note: This is a tentative schedule. Some activities and times may be adjusted as we continue co-creating the retreat.

May you carry home not the pressure to become someone new, but a deeper connection with who you already are—and have always been.
Thank you for bringing your unique light to The Return of the Light. The magic of this gathering is not created by one woman alone. It emerges through all of us, in the presence we share, the gifts we offer, and the beauty of coming together.
A Gentle Reminder
You are welcome to participate in the ways that feel right for you. You do not need to be experienced in yoga, meditation, healing practices, or group sharing. You do not need to arrive with a particular goal or expectation.
Come as you are. Bring your questions, your curiosity, your laughter, your tenderness, and your unique way of being in the world.
There will be space for meaningful inner work, as well as rest, nature, nourishing food, heartfelt connection, and the joy of simply being alive.
We look forward to discovering what becomes possible when we gather.
