Sometimes life calls for a retreat. It’s often not a loud call, but a quiet, inner feeling that it’s time to step away from everyday life and find a completely different rhythm.
Far away from all your roles, to remember once again what truly lives within you. Without any distractions: just you, nature, and what finally wants to be seen.
Are you ready to embark on a journey in the midst of powerful nature? To open yourself to the whisper of the wind, to bring your own rhythm into harmony with the heartbeat of the Earth, and to encounter your own primal power?
Shamanism is rooted in a tradition dating back thousands of years. Shamans have always been understood as “guardians of the soul.” They reconnect people with themselves when they feel lost, empty, or cut off. This is not a concept for the mind, but a space of experience that you enter. Through nature, images, symbols, and ancient rituals, you’ll find direct access to your intuition.
I’ll take you on this journey. Over three days in an exclusive one-on-one setting in the Murtal valley of Styria, a safe, profound space will emerge that guides you back to your very own natural rhythm.
✦ What to Expect on Your Journey
Nature will become our closest ally during these days. When your mind no longer dominates the entire scene, your inner images will become clearer. Questions to which you’ve long sought answers in everyday life will suddenly resolve themselves.
* Encounter with your primal power: Together, we’ll explore the shamanic “otherworld”—those realms beyond the visible world of everyday life. You’ll connect with your inner allies, who will give you exactly the energy and answers you need right now on your path.
* Drum journeys & rituals: None of this is rigidly planned. The journeys and rituals unfold intuitively in the moment, exactly as your system needs them at that very moment.
* Shamanic Work: Many people find during these days that something old is finally allowed to let go. Or they describe a feeling as if they’ve rediscovered something they thought was lost.
* Your Path Back to Everyday Life: You’ll leave this retreat less in your head and with greater clarity through genuine experience. You’ll be fully grounded in your own energy again—strengthened, nourished, and protected in life.
✦ Your Next Step
If you found yourself nodding while reading this, something is probably ready to shift.
Take this impulse seriously—to pause your daily routine for a moment and give yourself some space.
You don’t have to book anything today. That’s exactly what my no-obligation 20-minute introductory conversation is for.
Together, we’ll explore what’s on your mind right now and what you’re hoping for.
We’ll see if the chemistry is right between us and if my retreat is your next step.
It’s completely confidential, free, and pressure-free.
Afterward, you’ll have a clear sense of direction for your journey.

✦ How I Work
I’m Sabine, a psychological counselor and shaman, and the woman behind “The Green Couch.” I guide people through life transitions in nature, especially when it comes to reconnecting with themselves, taking their boundaries seriously, and no longer ignoring their own needs.
* With heart, humor, and clarity: I work in a way that’s sensitive to the nervous system and neurodiversity, but also with an honest approach and a willingness to look with you at the places where things get uncomfortable.
* Undivided attention: With me, you’ll receive something that’s become rare: plenty of time. During your retreat, I’m there exclusively and one-on-one just for you and your process.
* No “functioning,” no “performing”: Many experience their time with me as a safe haven from everyday life. Simply be cared for for a few days, take a deep breath, and explore together with someone the burden you’ve been carrying alone for far too long.
* Shamanic Roots & Nature Work: Nature is far more than just a beautiful backdrop: It regulates your overloaded nervous system and is an active part of our shared process.
My guidance incorporates ancient shamanic tools, nature rituals, and subtle energy work. This helps resolve issues where the rational mind often gets stuck—in a deeply grounded and utterly down-to-earth way.
The Foundation of My Work
Training in life and social counseling, couples and sex therapy, bodywork, human energetics, shamanism, and nature and wilderness education. Over the years, this has evolved into my very own style: psychologically grounded, nature-based, and deeply grounding.
✦ The Retreat Location
My lovingly maintained place of power is located in the Murtal valley in Styria. Surrounded by lush green nature and nestled between mountains, forests, and water. It’s a place to take a deep breath, completely free of TV, radio noise, or the constant digital buzz that keeps you constantly disconnected from yourself.
Instead, you’ll find: nature’s cinema with the murmur of a stream and a chorus of birds. No Wi-Fi, but a full connection to yourself.
✦ What Your Days with Me Will Look Like
• Day 1: Arrival & Sowing the Seed
Starting at 12:00 PM, you can settle in at your own pace. In the afternoon, we’ll get to know each other during our first “Walk & Talk” in nature, and I’ll gently guide you into your process. The evening is intentionally kept quiet and wraps up with dinner.
Day 2 – Your Shamanic Journey
Wake up with nature, without an alarm clock. 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’s always enough space for retreat and reflection. The day ends in peace and grounding over dinner by the fire.
Day 3 – Harvest & Integration
Sleep in again and enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Afterward, we’ll take time for further shamanic guidance and to reflect on your experiences and bring in your harvest: What has come to light? What has become clearer, and how will you bring this new strength and clarity back into your everyday life? In between, there will be plenty of breaks and a midday snack. Your retreat ends around 3:00 p.m., and you can depart feeling nourished and at peace. (If you need to leave earlier, that’s certainly possible.)
Follow-up Call: To ensure the shamanic magic doesn’t fade away in your daily life, we’ll meet online two weeks later for a follow-up conversation to help you further anchor your new steps securely in your life.
Sustainable travel by train is possible; the train station is within walking distance.

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.
