Awaken your life force
Retreat at Søsætra, June 5-7, 2026
For those who wish to awaken their life force, strengthen their intuition, and live more authentically through kundalini activation and energy work.
A weekend to come deeper into your body, release tensions, and more clearly feel your own inner compass – and find your way forward.
Kundalini is described as a fundamental life energy found in all human beings. When the energy is awakened and allowed to move more freely in the body, it can provide more inner peace, increased clarity, and a deeper contact with yourself, often accompanied by sudden insights.
Through kundalini activation, breathwork, meditation, and simple body-based exercises, we invite the body to open up to this energy. Many experience that old tensions release, intuition becomes clearer, and a stronger sense of direction and presence in their own lives arises.
During the weekend you will, among other things, experience:
- Group kundalini activation
- Guided breathwork
- Meditation and presence practice
- Body and energy practices
- Integration in safe surroundings

The retreat is held at Søsætra, a warm and peaceful place surrounded by forest. Nature and silence invite deeper breathing, presence, and new energy. We enjoy healthy and warm meals, and have time for both sauna and refreshing swims in the pond. We are very much looking forward to sharing this experience with you at this place!
Between sessions, there is plenty of time to walk in nature, rest, swim, reflect, or just be.
Who is it for?
The retreats are suitable both for those who have participated in group sessions and retreats before and want to go deeper, as well as those who have never tried kundalini activation or breathwork before. You don't need any prior knowledge – just an open mind and a willingness to explore. We will guide you!
- Those who need a breathing space from everyday life
- Those who wish to come into deeper contact with themselves
- Those who want to explore kundalini activation and breathwork – regardless of experience
- Those who long for peace, nourishment, and inner transformation
The course leaders have good experience in organizing retreats, and we emphasize creating a safe and inclusive atmosphere. We lead the sessions in a down-to-earth way with love and care for both the work, the process, and our participants. Read more about us further down the page

Who are we?
This is the team holding our retreats:
Hawa Saleh
Hawa is responsible for breathwork (transformational and activating breathing exercises) at our retreats. She is a curious soul with a deep love for inner work and conscious presence. Through breathwork, she has found a powerful path to peace, clarity, and connection with the body. For Hawa, the breath is more than a technique – it is a key to life force, freedom, and self-understanding. She facilitates safe and nourishing group breathing journeys where participants get to meet themselves, release tension, and let go of what the body carries. Hawa has taken courses with one of Scandinavia's leading breathwork experts, Jarno Kinnunen.
Joana Granjo Oliveira
Joana is co-responsible for kundalini activation and meditation at our retreats. She is a seeker dedicated to inner transformation and reunion with the self. Joana's path weaves together practices such as kundalini activation, sound healing, meditation, and intuitive movement. As a certified facilitator through KCA, she holds a safe space where you can open up, be activated, and find balance – at your own pace. Through presence, energy flow, and the body's inherent wisdom, you can find clarity and get in touch with your own essence. Joana is Portuguese and communicates in English.
Terje Henden
My name is Terje, and I am the founder of Henden Energy Work. I work with kundalini activation, breathwork, and energy work, and am dedicated to holding a safe and honest space where you can meet yourself, without pressure and without anything needing to be "fixed". For me, this work is about giving your body and system the opportunity to release what stands in the way, so that more of you can emerge. My retreats give you time and space to go deeper into this process – in a down-to-earth and safe way, where you are allowed to be exactly where you are.

What is a retreat?
-with Henden Energy Work
Group sessions in kundalini activation can provide powerful experiences in everyday life – retreats take you even deeper. Here you get time, peace, and safe surroundings to immerse yourself in your own process. Without distractions from daily life, the energy can work more holistically, and you get the opportunity to land, listen inward, and open up. Many experience that retreats provide space for new insights and that they open layers within themselves that can otherwise be difficult to reach.
Why participate in our retreats?
By working with kundalini energy, we can loosen tensions, blockages, and old patterns stored in the body. We release life energy. The energy moves where it's needed and opens up for more flow, peace, and vitality. When blockages loosen, you get in touch with the free, authentic version of yourself – more calm, clear, and alive.
Many experience that the effect lasts long after the retreat.
