The Gathering - Co-Creation Retreat

November 1– December 5 , 2026 | DIANI BEACH, KENYA AFRICA

During this period Villa Amani opens as a space for a co-creating retreat experience.

You are welcome to stay here as a guest and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, nature and community. Rooms include breakfast and access to the villa, kitchen, garden and two pools.

If you are a facilitator, therapist, teacher or guide, you are also welcome to offer your own sessions, workshops or treatments during your stay. Each person shares their gifts and sets their own prices.

Together we create the retreat experience that unfolds during the month. Guests staying at the house can join the offerings, and some activities may also be open to people from the local community.

Private session - Living Your Truth

Its time for you to live YOUR Life

There comes a time in life when something inside you refuses to stay quiet any longer. You have given your energy to family, work, responsibilities. But now another question begins to rise

What do I want with the life that is still in front of me?

My work is to help you reconnect with the part of you that already knows.

I listen deeply – beyond the old patterns, the doubts, and the voices that told you to play small. Together we bring your own wisdom forward again.

And when that happens, things start to move.

You stop waiting. You stop holding back. You begin making choices that are true for you.

This is not about becoming someone else.

It is about remembering who you are — and having the courage to live it.

Online sessions – via Zoom, wherever you are in the world!

YOUR GUIDE TO INNER PEACE AND WISDOM

For more than 25 years now, I’ve walked beside people in their most powerful and vulnerable moments. I’ve supported more than a thousand individuals in reconnecting with their strength, clarity, and purpose – helping them remember who they are beyond the layers of conditioning and self-doubt.

Born and raised in Sweden, I once lived a life that looked successful on the outside. I was a partner at a large financial firm, surrounded by achievement, stability, and everything I thought I was supposed to want.

But deep down, I felt disconnected. I had followed a path shaped by societal programming — by the matrix — rather than by my soul.

 In the year 2000 I began a completely new path. A path that has led me here. To Africa, to Kenya, To Villa Amani – and to you.
