3-Day Women’s embodiment journey to Elemental Alchemy
This three-day retreat is a powerful journey into embodiment and therapeutic art, offering women & non-binary beings the opportunity to reconnect with the ancient wisdom of their bodies and tap into a deep well of creativity.
Through these practices, you’ll feel more grounded, expressive, and present, engaging with art as a healing process. By using colors, movement, and your voice, you’ll explore your inner landscape, release emotions, and bring clarity to hidden parts of yourself.
Join us in April for an epic adventure into our truest home and most loyal friend. Together on the path of the heart, we’ll explore the infinite mystery of our divine bodies.
Dear sister, step into Elemental Alchemy, a retreat designed for women seeking to reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the Earth and the creative energy within. Nestled in the heart of Gothenburg in Sweden, this journey unfolds through the four elements—Earth, Water, Fire, and Air—each representing a chapter in the alchemy of personal and spiritual transformation.
Inspired by ancestral knowledge, this retreat guides us to embody the elements as teachers, each holding unique messages for our path. Through somatic movement, dance, voice activation, and therapeutic art painting, we will awaken the body’s innate wisdom, traveling from the root to the crown in a progressive ascent of consciousness. Each practice is designed to facilitate deep inner listening, a return to the ancient knowing held within us, and an immersion into the creative process as a form of healing.
Elemental Alchemy is a journey into your authentic self, using the powerful practices of embodiment and therapeutic art to reconnect with the wisdom within.

Gathering as an intimate sisterhood in a beautiful setting, we’ll create space for authentic expression through voice, free form movement, therapeutic art, and embodiment practices. Together, we’ll celebrate the resilience and strength of women, honoring the beauty and divine essence within each of us.
On the first day, we begin with Earth—grounding, connecting, and rooting ourselves in the present moment. We’ll honour the land beneath our feet and each other, creating a sacred space to journey together as women. Earth invites us to be present, steady, and fully rooted in our truth.
On the morning of the second day, up until lunchtime, we will begin with Water, which guides us to explore the emotional body. We’ll be invited to wade into our inner depths, to honour what lies within, and to soften into vulnerability. Water is a mirror to our emotions, a gentle yet powerful force that helps us cleanse and move beyond old patterns.
In the afternoon of the second day, we’ll move into the transformative power of Fire. Here, we offer what we’re ready to release, calling upon the purifying flames to help us reclaim our power and ignite our inner light. Fire teaches us about resilience, courage, and the strength that arises from embracing our essence.
Our journey will culminate with Air on the last third day, as we open ourselves to breath, spirit, and spaciousness. By this time, we have journeyed through layers of self, allowing energy to flow freely and authentically. With clear minds and open hearts, we align with our soul’s purpose, tapping into the unique creative power within each of us.
Guided by two dedicated facilitators—artists, healers, and guardians of sacred space—Elemental Alchemy is an invitation to reclaim your intuitive, somatic intelligence and to rediscover your voice, creativity, and vision. Come and journey with us as we transform, heal, and rise together. This is a call to live as the artist of your own life, honouring each breath as a sacred creation.

“Today we use sound, visual art and movement primarily for entertainment; but it hasn’t always been this way. Our ancestors gathered in community with the spirits of nature, using sound and movement for healing and journeying deep into the infinite spaces of our inner worlds”.
In this work, we’ll remember and celebrate colours, creative expression, sound and movement —sacred birthrights that connect us to the flow of evolutionary living. This process unlocks doors to self-discovery, community building, and collective healing.
In the amplifying energy of our sisterhood, we’ll embody through practices such as drawing, painting, breath, somatic movement, dance, ritual, voice activation, meditation, intention setting, and authentic relating.
We’ll invoke the ancient energy of the snake to create a container for our ancestral wisdom, helping us release conditioned patterns and reconnect with the deepest forms of expression from the Earth’s wisdom.
Through guided presence, we’ll navigate subconscious resistance with compassion, allowing what arises to inform our authentic expression. This safe and supportive container invites raw, authentic expression, offering the potential for profound revelations and the embodiment of freedom and the true Goddess within you.

About your facilitator Emelie Lund grew up in a small fishing village on the Swedish west coast, but even as a child, she felt a pull to explore beyond it. That early curiosity drove her to leave home at 15 and soon begin traveling the world, expanding her comfort zone—studying, teaching yoga, and growing along the way, embraced by loving communities. These journeys have shaped her deeply, and today, Emelie is passionate about sharing what has brought her peace and strength. Studying Vedanta and Vedic wisdom has become an integral part of her life, profoundly influencing her teachings in recent years. Through her teachers, she has experienced significant transformations, which she now shares with others. Emelie loves creating spaces for women to support one another, heal, and grow together. Her work blends the healing power of therapeutic art, somatic practices, and the wisdom of the Vedic tradition, guiding others to reconnect with their authentic selves. Emelie believes that expressing one’s inner world in different forms is vital to healing. |
