We offer the following signature retreats, each uniquely tailored to a specific theme.
Do you sense a profound calling to delve into the depths of your being for healing and self-discovery?
Are you feeling stuck in your current life situation, grappling with relationship challenges, or seeking healing from a painful experience?
Do you yearn to infuse your life with more vibrancy, inspiration, and a deeper connection to your life's path?
Have you been on a spiritual journey for years and now seek deeper clarity?
Do you hear the call?
In this sacred space, we unite to pay homage to the revered plant medicine, Noya Rao, and embark on a journey to rediscover our true nature while healing the barriers that impede our progress.
It can provide new insights into our identity, facilitate the healing of deep-seated traumas, bring forth profound joy, and offer clarity on our life's purpose. For some, it may be a serene journey, while for others, a potentially daunting experience.
In recognition of this diversity, we are committed to creating a safe and trauma-informed space to honor Grandmother and the sacred master plant, Noya Rao, ensuring a space of preparation, safety, and integration.
Plant medicine has the potential to be one of the most transformative and influential experiences of our lives.
"I bring with me more clarity, insights and new motivation, which is now supporting me in taking new and bigger steps in my process, on my path home to myself.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
A dedicated integration call will take place two weeks after the ceremony. Moreover, you will be part of an online Signal support group with your peers and Pål for three weeks following the event.

As preparation for each of our signature retreats may differ slightly, we always conduct an individual trauma-informed intention-setting call with you prior to the retreat. During this session, we will explore your personal history and traumas, enhancing your awareness of potential blocks in your life. This screening will also offer ongoing support throughout the weekend and, hopefully, beyond. Additionally, we will collaboratively establish a preparation plan (pre-dieta) with practices for the days leading up to the retreat.

MORE THAN A CEREMONY
Before you enter, you will be met by Pål —a guardian of the threshold.
In a tailored one-on-one call, he will guide your preparation, offering insights and practices to attune your system to the medicine's frequency.
Through slowing down…
Through devotion to embodiment…
Through reverence for the medicine…
you will begin to feel what has long been avoided.
And in that feeling —
a transmutation.
The wound becomes the teacher.
The pain becomes the gift.
The scar becomes the song you sing back to the world.
If you are called to walk this path,
know this:
You are not broken.
You are becoming.
Are you ready to return with your whole self? space of preparation, safety, and integration.
It is for those who knows that their personalities are not who they are — it is who they became because of their conditioning in the past.
This journey is for those who is feeling blocked in their lives and feel an inner calling to break free from limitations.
It for those that know that deep change demands not comfort, but courage to confront, embrace and go beyond and live their soul-purpose.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Leave each day behind
like flowing water
free of sadness
yesterday is gone
its tale is told
Today new seeds are growing
The time has come
to turn your heart
into a temple of fire
Your presence is gold
hidden in dust
To reveal its splendor
burn in the fire of love
Burn in this fire of love
Text: Rumi
Song of Shivali
The Temple Of Fire
Sometimes life cracks us open.
A relationship ends.
A career dissolves.
The body breaks down.
The dream we built falls apart.
In those moments, the medicine often calls us.
The Temple of Fire is a place to face the raw truth of life — not to escape it,
but to breathe into it, transform it, and rise stronger on the other side -
living and knowing that we can be untouched by it all.
Here, in the mountains of Portugal,
we gather in sacred ceremony.
We weave ancient wisdom with trauma-informed care,
so awakening is not only profound, but safe.
Through songs, fire, and Grandmother’s guidance,
we are invited to remember who we truly are.
This is not just a retreat.
It is an opportunity to let go of who you are not,
and blow air into your sacred inner fire of who you truly are.

"I was fortunate enough to be in a Sacred Ceremony
held by Pål in 2023.
Throughout the whole experience, I felt safe and secure.
Pål's way of leading the ceremony is excellent.
The trauma-informed approach with a Questionnaire, zoom-talk and other preparations in advance were great.
This focus is a very important but often overlooked process.
The integration afterwards makes this a massive step towards how this has to be done, where there is a chance to be recognized as what it is; a great gift with the potential to help many people overcome traumas and live richer and more fulfilling and emphatic lives.
As far as I know, this will be the best alternative for most people if you consider attending a Sacred Ceremony in Norway."
THOMAS
"A truly magical and transformative weekend. Everything was intuitively and flexibly created.
A perfect mix of different activities and a perfect balance between the activities. The ceremony preparation was fantastic. The food was really good.
Pål and Marijke created a natural, humble, safe and loving space for us all to land and be in. The love and deep relaxation was incredible. I am so GRATEFUL that I could participate.
I bring with me more clarity, insights and new motivation, which is now supporting me in taking new and bigger steps in my process, on my path home to myself.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
JOHANNA
"Dear Paal, I have had the most fantastic and creative week of my life since last weekend. Everything is blooming, and people behave differently towards me, especially the closest ones. They are softer, and there are fewer confrontations.
I have new visions for my new law firm, and today, I wrote a new introduction on the webpage. A text that I have used months to formulate. People (customers and collaboration partners) are naturally attracted to my firm.
I have unlimited energy, am effective, and get things done immediately.
My mind is clear and sharp, and I do tasks I didn't manage to do before. My addictions and temptations have disappeared."
ERLEND
What a wonderful experience!
Pål is a masterful ceremony leader. He has a lightness about him that makes being in his presence a pure joy. He invites humor and creates a safe space for the participants to shine their light and share their gifts with the world. I had a wonderful experience attending one of his weekend retreats. I especially appreciated the touch of luxury; delicious, healthy meals, and my own soft mattress that was my ceremony space. These things may seem small, but for me, they made me feel safe and nurtured. I give Pål my warmest recommendations!
Thank you, shaman!
MARGRETHE
“I have participated in a sacred ceremony retreat with Pål, and I find his approach very sincere and caring.
I got to know him and was able to work with my intention a long time before the ceremony. Pål created an open and safe space for the participants to get to know each other before the ceremonies.
The retreat was deep, and it was challenging to say goodbye to the new friends. It impacted me to see some opening up for something that has been forgotten, maybe their whole life. I have participated in many retreats, and this one was exceptional, and I can heartfully recommend participation.
