Sometimes life calls for a retreat; it’s often not a loud call, but rather an inner feeling that it’s time to step back, break away from the familiar, and find a different rhythm for a few days.
In a place far removed from everyday life, to remember what is alive within you—without roles, without distractions, just you, nature, and what within you longs to be seen.
Are you ready to embark on a shamanic journey amidst powerful nature?
To open yourself to the whisper of the wind, to bring your rhythm back into harmony with the heartbeat of the Earth, and to encounter your primal power?
This retreat is an invitation to step out of your familiar spaces and roles for a few days, to a place out in nature, amidst forests, mountains, water, and fire, and to embark on a shamanic journey with me, listening inward.
Shamanism is rooted in a global tradition dating back thousands of years. In many cultures, shamans were seen as “guardians of the soul,” whose role was to help people reconnect with themselves when they felt lost or disconnected. It is not a concept that one must “understand,” but rather a space of experience, beyond mere explanations, into which one enters to gain access to one’s inner self through nature, images, symbols, or rituals.
And it is precisely on this journey to your inner self that I will take you on this retreat.
✦ What you can look forward to with me
Together, we will explore that invisible world beyond the everyday visible, those spaces where you can encounter inner images, power animals, and spirits that hold messages for your life and can give you strength.
Nature will be our companion on this journey. As we walk through the forest, sit by the fire, and experience silence and conscious solitude in nature, something often reveals itself that is overlooked or overthought in everyday life. An inner resonance that cannot be planned, when the mind no longer occupies the entire stage and inner images become increasingly clear, and you reconnect with your intuition.
Drum journeys and shamanic rituals, which I conduct for you and together with you, can be part of your retreat, always arising from the moment, from what is present and revealing itself. Some people experience that something very old, which had long been bound, is allowed to release, or that something that seemed lost for a long time is rediscovered.
During these days, I am exclusively and continuously by your side. Without rigid structures, whatever emerges can unfold in its own rhythm. Amidst nature, silence, conversation, and ritual elements, a space for experience emerges—one that is both intuitive and grounded.
Perhaps you are at a crossroads or carry a question within you to which you can no longer find an answer on your own. Or you long for a deeper connection to yourself and to nature. No matter what call leads you to this retreat, everything will unfold as it should, carried by nature, touched by ancient rituals, and accompanied in a safe, loving space.
Many people leave this retreat not with a single answer, but with something far more valuable: less in the head and more clarity gained through experience and feeling, reconnecting with their own energy, and feeling strengthened, nourished, and protected.

✦ How I Work
My name is Sabine. I am a trained shaman and guide you with an intuitive, clear, and grounded approach. My work combines experiences in nature, ritual practice, and energy work into a space where things are not explained but experienced.
Nature is an essential part of this process. Through walking in the forest, connecting with fire, earth, water, and silence, and consciously “being outdoors,” a space emerges where inner issues can reveal themselves and reorganize in a way that is immediately tangible.
I consciously work with only a small number of women and men per season (June–October) so that I can devote the necessary depth and presence to each process.
My foundation is built on training in European, Siberian, and Core Shamanism, Human Energetics, nature and wilderness education, as well as life and social counseling, couples and sex therapy, and bodywork.
✦ The Location
My lovingly maintained retreat is located in the Styrian Murtal valley, nestled among mountains, forests, and water, which I open to guests in the summer. A place to take a deep breath, without TV or radio noise, without the constant clamour that pulls you into the world while you’re actually trying to find yourself.
Instead, nature’s cinema with the murmur of a stream and a chorus of birds. No Wi-Fi, but a full connection to nature and to yourself.
✦ What your days with me will look like
Throughout the entire retreat, you’ll be in an exclusive one-on-one setting. Over three days, a clear, personalized space for experience will emerge, guiding you step by step out of your daily routine and into a slower, more natural rhythm toward yourself.
What may be part of your retreat:
• Drum journeys
• Smudging rituals & plant allies
• Medicine wheel & nature constellations
• Medicine walk & vision quest
• Shamanic extraction & soul retrieval
• Powerful rituals, fire ceremonies
• Forest bathing, sitting meditation & journaling
Day 1 – Arrival
Arrival from 3:00 PM, and you’re welcome to settle in first.
Afterward, we’ll get to know each other during a walk & talk in nature, and you’ll be gently guided into the process. The evening is intentionally kept quiet and concludes with dinner.
Day 2 – Shamanic Journey
The second day forms the core of the process. After a quiet breakfast, the shamanic guidance unfolds in and with nature. Between the sessions, there is always enough space for retreat and integration. The day ends in calm and grounding over dinner and by the fire.
Day 3 – Integration
After breakfast, the final shamanic elements are incorporated into the process, with a focus on consciously carrying forward what has shifted over these days. Around 10:00 a.m., your retreat concludes, and you return to your daily life.

It was a great, varied and insightful time out in the green heart of Austria - Styria. Sabine has created this loving, peaceful place and is also wholeheartedly and passionately involved in the retreat. I can only recommend the retreat, I can now build on it and shape my future path in life with courage and joie de vivre.
