A Breathwork, Yoga & Inner Exploration Retreat
What if there is more of you waiting to come alive?
Three days of powerful breathwork, energy, movement and inner exploration. An invitation to feel more, discover more and reconnect with what makes you feel truly alive.
Breathwork & Yoga Retreat:
Coming Alive
A Different Kind of Aliveness
Beneath the routines, the expectations, the roles we play and the stories we've come to believe, there is something within us that longs to be felt.
To move. To explore. To express.
Coming Alive is an invitation to reconnect with that part of yourself. Not to become someone new. Not to fix or improve who you are.
But to step beyond the familiar, explore your inner world and rediscover what makes you feel truly alive.

Beyond the Ordinary. Into Yourself.
At the heart of Coming Alive are powerful, deeply immersive breathwork journeys.
Guided with intuition, care and grounded presence, these experiences invite you beyond the analytical mind — into your body, your emotions, your energy and the deeper layers of your inner world.
Sometimes intense. Sometimes unexpected. Often difficult to put into words.
Alongside breathwork, we weave together yoga, movement, meditation, Reiki and inner exploration. Different doorways into the same experience.
A space to feel, discover and explore what becomes possible when you allow yourself to go deeper.
The Exploration
01. The Body - Feeling More
Beyond simply finding calm. Into sensation, movement, energy and expression. Discovering what it means to truly feel alive in your body.
02.The Inner World - Discovering More
Exploring the stories, patterns, intuition and unseen layers within us. Meeting ourselves with curiosity, beyond what we think we know.
03.The Possibilities - Living More
Opening to new perspectives, possibilities and ways of being. Not through striving to become more, but by allowing more of ourselves to emerge.
A Weekend to Feel Alive
Throughout the weekend, we'll move between powerful breathwork journeys, yoga, somatic movement, meditation, Reiki, intuitive exploration and moments of stillness.
We'll explore the body, the nervous system, the conscious and subconscious mind, energy and the sometimes mysterious territory of being human.
There will be depth. There may be intensity, vulnerability and unexpected discoveries.
But also laughter, connection, nourishing food, beautiful surroundings and the simple pleasure of being present.
Because feeling alive isn't only about going deep. It's also about allowing ourselves to experience more of life

At the heart of Coming Alive are powerful, immersive breathwork journeys. Guided with care, intuition and grounded presence, these experiences invite you beyond the analytical mind and into the body, the emotional landscape and deeper layers of consciousness. There may be intensity, release, insight, unexpected discoveries and experiences that are difficult to put into words.
-
Through yoga, various styles, we explore the body as more than something to stretch or strengthen. A place of sensation, energy, expression and possibility. Sometimes slow and inward. Sometimes playful, expansive and full of life.
-
Through meditation, Reiki, visualization, energy work and intuitive practices, we explore the quieter and sometimes less explainable dimensions of our experience. Creating space for intuition, imagery, sensation and the mysteries of our inner world.
-
Some inner exploration happens alone. Some happens in relationship. Within a small group, we create space for vulnerability, honest conversation, laughter and connection — the experience of being witnessed without needing to perform or have everything figured out.
-
There will also be moments when nothing is asked of you. Time in nature, silence, rest, reflection and integration. Space to allow what has been experienced to settle, without needing to immediately understand or explain it.
-
Throughout the weekend, we gather around beautiful, nourishing vegetarian food, shared conversations and moments of simple enjoyment. Because feeling alive isn't only about going deep. It's also about warmth, pleasure, laughter and being together.
Who this this Retreat is for?
Maybe there's a part of you longing for something more. More energy, freedom, curiosity or simply that feeling of being fully present in your own life.
Perhaps you're curious about what lies beyond the familiar — the roles you play, the expectations you live by and the stories you've come to believe about yourself.
Maybe you're navigating change, longing to reconnect with your intuition, creativity or sense of possibility. Or perhaps you simply love going deep, exploring consciousness, energy and the mysteries of being human.
You don't need to be in crisis to want to explore yourself more deeply.
You don't need a problem to solve, something to heal or a clear intention. Sometimes curiosity is enough.
If You Feel the Pull - come as you are.
There may be intensity, vulnerability and unexpected discoveries. There may be laughter, freedom, wonder or something entirely different.
We don't need to know beforehand.
Just bring your curiosity. And a willingness to explore.
A little about the person holding the space…
Hey, I'm Kia.
I've been exploring the inner world for more than twenty years - through breath, meditation, yoga, energy work, Reiki, inner journeys and the endless curiosity of what makes us change, heal and come more fully alive.
Today, I work as a breathwork facilitator, Reiki Master, Coach and transformational guide. But I don't really experience these as separate modalities.
To me, they are different doorways into the same territory.
The body. The nervous system. The conscious and subconscious mind. Our energy. Our patterns and emotions. And sometimes, the parts of human experience that we don't yet fully know how to explain.
My work has always lived somewhere between the grounded and the mysterious.
I love neuroscience and understanding what happens in the brain and nervous system. I'm equally fascinated by altered states of consciousness, intuition, energy and the experiences that don't fit neatly into what we already know.
Before moving fully into this work, I spent more than fifteen years in the business world, leading people and organizations through change. My original training, however, was as a pilot, followed by an engineering degree in product development.
It may sound like a completely different life, but perhaps it isn't.
I've sometimes joked that I used to land planes. Now I help people land within themselves.
And somewhere along the way, the engineer in me never disappeared either. I still want to understand how things work. What happens in the brain? The nervous system? The body? What changes when we breathe differently, shift our state of consciousness or work with energy?
And then there are the experiences we can't quite explain yet.
I'm interested in those too.
Maybe especially those 😊
How do humans actually change?
I don't believe transformation can be forced. And I don't believe my role is to heal you.
My role is to create and hold a space where you can go deep while remaining grounded and supported — and where your own body, breath, energy and inner intelligence are allowed to lead.
I've held retreats for several years now, and every group reminds me that we never quite know what will unfold when we step outside ordinary life together.
That's part of why I still love this work.
I don't know exactly what these three days will open in you.
And I don't think we're supposed to know beforehand.
Our Retreat Space - Luckerstad Gård
-
Luckerstad Guesthouse is a cosy manor environment nestled in the heart of the Östgöta plain. AnnCharlotte is the owner of the farm and everything from food, to garden, to facilities are created with the utmost love which is felt by the whole atmosphere.
During our days we will enjoy all sessions in a beautiful Orangery, we will eat our meals in the main mansion, in the lush fruit garden or by the pool.
-
Two cosy houses, the White Guesthouse and the red Cottage, with fresh and clean rooms. In the white guesthouse every room has its own toilet and shower. In the red house 4 persons shares the whole house of two flors, one bathroom. Each participant shares a room with one other person of the same sex during the retreat (if you do not book a private room).
The sharing of rooms is usually a very nice experience, even if you come alone. Fresh linen and towels included.
-
You will have the most gorgeous view of Lake Vättern, the plain and the fantastic sunrise as well as sunset. You live secluded but still close to the medieval town of Vadstena with its castle, monastery church, monastery museum and picturesque alleys.
To take a walk, a run and maybe end up with a dip in Vättern with its clear water and sandy bottom is highly recommended
There will be free time to spend in the beautiful surrounding nature. Take a walk, a dip in the (very cold) lake.
Food is an important part of the retreat experience - something to gather around, enjoy and be nourished by.
Throughout the weekend, we serve colourful, nourishing vegetarian food, prepared with care and mainly locally sourced ingredients. Together with our head chef Ann-Charlotte, we create meals that are wholesome and nutritious, but just as importantly, genuinely delicious.
Our hope is that you leave the weekend not only nourished, but perhaps with a little inspiration to bring home with you.

Shared rooms are often a really nice experience! If you are booking with a friend, let me know when booking, but otherwise I will use my intuition when I pair the rooms.

Many names… Transformational Breathwork, Breathwork Healing, Circular Connected Breathing, 2-part breath most commonly used. It is a very deep and profound experience. Releasing stagnant energies from the physical, mental and emotional bodies. Visiting the conscious and subconscious realms. This is my personal favorite practice ❤️
Lovely!
