Spirit of Woman Retreat

Unlock Your True Essence

Dawn Albinger and Mette Sorensen, co-creators of Spirit of Woman Retreat since 2005, envisioned a Retreat for women to authentically rediscover themselves. Their shared passion birthed a sanctuary, empowering women to embrace inner voices, reclaim freedom, and cherish the essence of womanhood. This heartfelt endeavor aimed to nurture self-acceptance, offering a safe and sacred space where each woman could unfold, listen, and celebrate her unique journey. Through this retreat, Dawn and Mette cultivated a haven where women found solace in truth, reclaimed their voices, and danced freely to the rhythm of their existence. 45 circles so 900 or more women joined now.
