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.

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?
Embark on a transformative and compassionate exploration into the depths of your being, where we strive to align your soul with a trauma-informed approach.
Our mission is to empower you to manifest this alignment in your everyday life.
With the support of Grandmother and powerful Masterplant Noya Rao, we aim to guide you to the core of your heart and soul alignment.
Immerse yourself in a deep residential retreat, accompanied by two encounters with Grandmother, Kambo rituals, and complementary practices that provide unwavering support. Welcome to a sacred voyage of self-discovery and soul alignment.
SOUL ALIGNMENT RETREAT
a pilgrimage into the hidden parts of your being,
where ancient wounds meet ancestral wisdom, and healing becomes a possibility to be reborn.
We begin at the gateway: Kambo —
the warrior’s venom, the fire that burns away illusion.
This purge is no accident — it prepares your vessel,
opening the pain body, sharpening presence,
and forging strength for what lies beyond.
Then, you will meet Grandmother, twice —
the vine of souls, the serpent of remembrance.
She guides not with ease, but with truth —
calling you into the chambers where your story began,
where your nervous system wrote the first scripts of survival.

Kundalini, Icaros & Embodied Voice – awaken the life force through movement and song
Integration Circles – where insights crystallize and soul-threads are rewoven
The Journey Includes:
The Deep Dive is no ordinary retreat —
it is a return to the underworld of the soul, where hidden wounds whisper to be seen
and our conditioning tells the oldest story of all:
how we learned to survive.
Every one carries a sacred imprint —
a tapestry woven with trauma, resilience, attachment, and forgotten power.
To unlock the wisdom beneath the wound, you must understand the map:
Your conditioned patterns
Your nervous system’s language
The primal pain that shaped your form.
Through trauma-informed plant medicine ceremonies and embodied practices,
you will descend to the root. Not to fix — but to alchemize.
Here, the wound becomes the portal. The scar becomes the gift.
There are places within us ancient and untouched.
But Realms shaped by shadow, forgotten memories, and the primal wounds that can block our becoming.

A 5-day Rite to Remember Your Soul Wisdom:
Buried beneath ancestral wounds, survival instincts, and the armor of habit,
your soul’s purpose sleeps—not lost, but forgotten.

In this sacred container, held with deep safety and trauma-informed reverence,
you will walk the ancient path of remembrance.
The Soul Alignment:
A Sacred Rite of Return
This is not just a retreat. It is a rite of passage —
into the personal unconscious, where your soul’s true path lies buried beneath fear, forgetting, and the illusion of separation.

"Thank you Pål and Marjike, for a wonderful ceremony! I am so happy to have been part of your safe, sacred and beautiful space. I have experienced a major shift in my consciousness. Time moves more slowly and my thoughts are less conflicting. I believe the ceremony brought me in touch with my authentic self and I learned some tools to connect with it, not least because I now have a better understanding of myself.
I got this feeling of a higher purpose or path in life and I feel much more relaxed and mindful. The ceremony put put me in a state of deep self inquiery and I had so many insights. My head is still occupied with them two weeks after. I connected with my emotions hidden deep inside and I felt a deep gratitude that still lingers on. Being able to let go during the ceremony was made easier by the safe space I felt included in. It made me accept the truth that I am taken care of by a higher purpose.
Taking part in this wonderfull cermony, engulfed in incence, sacred rituals and inspired singing has made me feeI reborn as a spiritual being.
"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!"
"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."
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!
“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.
"Dear Pål and Marijke
My first meeting with Aya was pretty wild and transformative.
She confirmed something that I suspected. Even after three weeks, I still draw from the experience and gain new insights. The lovely natural place was perfect for my experience of being one with all that is.
Pål was a safe, warm, and present facilitator for me. He is a wise and humble man who leads from his heart. His beloved Marijke also created a nurturing and loving environment where participants could naturally grow.
I am forever grateful for my journey
and would love to travel with them again.
" This ceremony was my first,
and I am so grateful that Pål was the shaman guiding the journey.
I also appreciated his thorough follow-up
on the preparation and integration process.
Pål leads from a grounded and connected place of love,
presence and deep spiritual connection.
On the journey, I met fears and shadows in myself
that were painful and scary to face.
Still, Pål´s obvious capability and loving intentions made it easy for me to surrender and stay open and vulnerable throughout the journey.
This journey was undoubtedly a great inspiration and leap in my spiritual process, and I will definitely go with Pål on my next journey as well."
