A 5-Day Devotional Retreat to Rest, Nourish & Reconnect
28 May – 1 June 2026 | Shambala Gatherings, Sweden

Step away from the busyness of life and into a sacred, held space where your body, mind, and heart can breathe. Ritual of Self is a gentle, five-day retreat designed to nourish, restore, and reconnect you to yourself … through yoga, meditation, ritual, sound, journaling, sauna, and the serene beauty of the Swedish forest.

Both women and men are welcome to join.

Do You Feel the Call?

If there is a subtle pull in your body, a quiet yes in your heart, or a soft longing to pause and be held, this retreat is for you!

Nestled in the serene, magical forests of Sweden, this is a space to:

• Step away from the busyness of everyday life

• Rest deeply and reconnect with your body and inner wisdom

• Explore your presence, devotion, and connection through gentle yoga, meditation, journaling, and ritual

• Immerse yourself in nature’s quiet beauty -the whisper of the trees, the fresh forest air, and the grounding energy of the land

• Feel supported by the warmth and care of a small, intimate group

Trust your heart - it knows the way. If you feel even a small yes, it may be the gentle call of your own rhythm asking for nourishment, care, and devoted time to yourself.

“Listen to the quiet pull of your heart; it knows the path to restoration and presence.”

You are warmly invited to take this pause, to arrive fully in your body, and to dedicate these days to yourself amidst the beauty and stillness of the Swedish forest.

“If you are thinking about going on this retreat, just go. Bella truly is a special woman. Her presence, care, and guidance create a space where you feel safe, held, and inspired to reconnect with yourself. You will leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected than you imagined possible.” - Rosie

What You’ll Experience

Over five days, you will be gently guided into practices that support rest, reflection, and reconnection. Each day carries a theme, allowing the retreat to unfold as a journey through body, mind, and heart:

Day 1 - Grounding
Arrive and settle into the forest’s embrace. Through gentle movement, breathwork, and mindful presence, you will feel your body and senses awaken, anchoring you in the here and now.

Day 2 - Presence
Slow down into the rhythms of your body and mind. Yoga, meditation, and journaling help you cultivate awareness of the subtle currents within and around you, discovering the beauty in simply being.

Day 3 - Devotion
Reconnect to your inner wisdom and life force. Through ritual, sound, and reflective practices, you will honour yourself, your body, and your desires, deepening self-love and acceptance.

Day 4 - Connection
Experience the joy of shared presence and the support of the circle. Workshops, movement, and collective rituals invite you to connect with others and with your own deeper truth.

Day 5 - Integration
Rest, reflect, and weave together your experiences. Time in nature, journaling, and gentle movement help you carry the insights, nourishment, and clarity from the retreat back into your everyday life.

Throughout the retreat, these themes are explored through yoga, meditation, embodied flows, yin practice, sound, journaling, ritual, sauna, and forest immersion, allowing your body and heart to gently open, restore, and integrate.

“I am so grateful for the experience of this past weekend. I returned home feeling more grounded, nourished, and at peace than I have in a long time. Bella’s kindness, warmth, and attentive guidance created a safe space where I could truly soften and be present. I loved how she balanced the uplifting, mindful elements of yoga with a compassionate understanding of life’s challenges. This retreat reminded me of the power of vulnerability, connection, and self-care - and it left a lasting, positive impact on me.” - Mandy
