About this Retreat
I was born and raised in the north of Denmark, playing in the meadows, forests, and on the wild northern coast, where the wind, forest, and sea shaped my life and my heart. From an early age, I felt a deep connection to nature and a curiosity about the unseen forces that guide life.
Throughout my journey, I have searched for what we all secretly long for — that missing light, the divine spark of wisdom and presence that feels absent in the modern world, the inner radiance the Gnostics called Sophia: the feminine aspect of the divine, the light that illuminates the soul and calls us home. For years I wandered through mystic places like Spiritual India and Nepal, studying Philosophy, Buddhism, Anthropology, Personal Development, NLP, Spirituality, Reality Transsurfing, and the teachings of figures from Socrates and Aurelius to Jesus, Rumi, Buddha, and the oldest Sumerian texts. Yet it was through deep immersion in Norse wisdom, the cosmology of Yggdrasil, and the transformative path of Inner Alchemy that I finally found it — not as an external doctrine, but as the living light within, the reconnection to our true core.
My professional path in design and game development, including 3D modeling for firms like LEGO, unexpectedly deepened my understanding of how consciousness manifests in the physical world. Later, I held highly demanding marketing roles, managing multi-million budgets in collaboration with global tech companies such as Sony and Apple — experiences that taught me structure, creativity, and the flow of energy in human systems.
For decades, I have studied the work shared by shamans, wise women, and seiðr-workers — a winding theme full of surprises, yet always guiding me back to myself and to that eternal light. I do not teach in the traditional sense; I hold space, share stories, and facilitate inner exploration, helping guests reconnect with their own inner wisdom, presence, and the Sophia-light that has always been there, waiting to be remembered through the ancient map of Yggdrasil.
Only Retreats that includes Sweat Lodge ceremony!
Claus, known as The Norse Sharman, is the experienced guide leading the shamanic sweat lodge ceremony in Yxenskoven. With deep respect for the powers of earth and fire, he facilitates a powerful rite of passage inside the sacred sweat lodge – an earth-bound womb of renewal and the alchemical stage of Fermentation.
In four rounds, each dedicated to a cardinal direction and its totem animal, participants are invited to surrender to the waves of heat and steam, entering a profound state of inner stillness and potential. Here, old traumas, suppressed emotions, and hidden shadows are gently brought to the surface, met with courage and presence, and released in safety. Claus holds the space with calm precision and compassion, ensuring that only those who choose to remain through all four rounds complete the full ritual, emerging cleansed, lighter, and deeply renewed.
After the ceremony, he gathers the group around the open fire for a true Viking feast – prepared with ancient ingredients such as hearty meats, wild herbs, root vegetables, and freshly baked flatbread. Together, under the stars, stories are shared and the courage to face the shadows is celebrated, awakening new vitality within.
This day in Yxenskoven is more than a ceremony – it is a living journey through darkness and light, a profound invitation to embrace wholeness, and a celebration of rebirth in the wild heart of the North.

KORNBLÓT Retreat 2026 – Harvest Moon & Long Vision
In the soft light of late summer, when fields are turning gold and the year begins to tilt toward a new season, KORNBLÓT is your sacred pause between “summer mode” and what comes next. This 5‑day retreat is for those who have run hard through the year—or through July—and now want to harvest insight, integrate experiences, and make clear, grounded decisions about work, love, and long‑term life projects.
Centered on Harvest & Integration, KORNBLÓT weaves embodiment, reflection, and practical visioning. You step away from noise and urgency to ask: What has this year really brought me? What is ready to be kept, released, or reshaped? Under the wide Nordic sky, you work with the seven inner alchemy steps to turn raw experience into long‑vision clarity.
One key ceremony is a sweat lodge as harvest rite, where you symbolically lay old roles, doubts, and worn‑out commitments on the altar of heat, song, and prayer—emerging lighter, clearer, and more aligned. Around this, there are guided journaling sessions, slow walking meditations in the late‑summer landscape, and concrete planning and prioritisation exercises so you do not just feel inspired, but leave with a living, realistic roadmap for the coming season.
Your 5-Day Harvest & Long Vision Journey
✓ Harvest sweat lodge – A powerful late‑summer ritual to release what is done and call in what you are truly ready to grow.
✓ Writing & reflection circles – Gentle but focused prompts on career, love, and life projects so you can hear what you actually want.
✓ Slow walks & nature presence – Land in your body, regulate your nervous system, and let the landscape mirror your next chapter.
✓ Long‑vision planning sessions – Practical tools to translate insight into a clear, grounded plan for autumn and beyond.
All-inclusive: Meals, lodging, 1,5 hour window Aalborg bus pickup + drop-off. Max 8 guests.
Spots limited – hello@norseheart.com
Price Includes: Accommodation, wholesome meals, all materials, and spiritual guidance.
Practical Info: Transportation arrangements, recommended packing list, and participation requirements provided upon booking.
