Pleiadean-Initiations in the Abisko Nationalpark – Sweden
This Northern Lights trip is a highlight in 2023.
Travel with me to the Arctic Circle and experience the Pleiades Initiations in the face of the Northern Lights.
In Stockholm we take the mystical Polar Express and wake up in the snow the next morning.
Experience 8 days of adventure in Abisko National Park, with the legendary Aurora Sky Station – one of the most famous viewing stations for the Aurora Borealis.
A unique program is waiting for you – you experience the Pleiades initiations live – every day we go to our ceremony together while the northern lights appear outside. In the morning we explore nature, hike in the snow, ride husky sleds across frozen mountain lakes, visit a Sami village, pet reindeer, enjoy the Swedish sauna, eat together and have a good time.
Come with me on the Northern Lights journey –
Your spiritual travel experience 2023
Shamanic Retreat
When I saw the Northern Lights for the first time in 2020, this powerful green light in the sky hit my heart directly. The idea was born to one day, right here, offer a spiritual journey with the Pleiades Initiations.
The Northern Lights and the increased electromagnetic influences of Pachamama can be clearly felt in the Arctic Circle and align your inner compass again. The Arctic Circle is truly a place to come back to your heart.
Ancient Wisdom of the Pleiadean Initiations
The Pleiades are a well-known constellation both in our culture and in the Andes. In both cultures, many legends and myths are entwined around the so-called “7 sisters”. The stars of the Pleiades have long been a roadmap for farmers’ sowing and harvesting seasons in Peru. But the importance of the Pleiades goes far beyond a farmer’s calendar.
My Teachers said that we come from the stars and they call the Pleiades their home and portal to the sacred source. As guardians of this star tradition, they have retained the connection to the Pleiades and maintain it in meditations and ceremonies and pass on the connection in energy transmissions. These initiations are called “Karpays” and are personally passed on from generation to generation. Come with me on a journey of remembering your spiritual origins. I share with you the traditional sacred space of the Pleiades initiations and connect you to each and every star of the Pleiades.
When the Pleiades call you, an intensive time awaits you, with steps of growth in your personal life, because the Pleiades help you to align physically, emotionally and spiritually. Each initiation is unique and you enter a space of inner healing.

Program
I am really looking forward to starting this very special spiritual journey with a small group.
During the day time, we enjoy snowy landscapes in Abisko National Park, go dog sledding, visit a Sami village, feed reindeer and hike with snowshoes.
Every afternoon, when the sun goes down, we meet in our small seminar room for our spiritual gatherings. On this journey you will receive the 7 Pleiades initiations from me. For the andean shamans, the Pleiades is their celestial home and they say that each of us is connected to the Pleiades. They are the portal to our spiritual home.
I wish us many northern lights that we can admire outside after our ceremonies. For a one-week stay, the chances of that happening are pretty good. For dark nights there is also a Swedish sauna and rustic comfort in our lodge.

Sustainbale travel
We travel slowly and sustainably by train and light luggage. The two-day journey to the far north is an adventure that we experience together as a group in the rustic carriages of the night train. Sleeping on the train isn’t the most restful, but it’s a slow-travel experience you won’t forget. You consciously perceive the arrival and the changes. The Polar Express travels through snow-covered Swedish forests and takes you to the north of the planet.
