Demi Maatman - your soul's purpose, Kronoberg (2025)

16/09/2025

I've been a bit quiet on social media lately. My relationship with it is… complex.

During my private retreats, I guide people to disconnect, leaving phones behind and simply being. This allows them to discover themselves in deeper ways, explore their creativity, and to feel deeply connected to their body and the natural world. 🫎

And yet… here I am, part of a world where visibility is important. It sometimes feels a bit counterintuitive to spend time behind screens when my work is teaching others to detach a bit more from them. But being visible is necessary, because it’s how the right people find me, and it allows me to share my energy and insights more broadly, which can be joyful too. 🤍

But time is a thing. Life here in Sweden is not just long, relaxed forest walks without stress. Summer has been busy with retreats, and behind the scenes there is a lot of work: emails, website, calls, groceries, creating menus, cleaning. Plus, I work on Holistify with my partner, growing our natural holistic webshop with new product development all the time.

I am also trying to create more online content, so to be able to guide more people, since not everyone can join a retreat in Sweden. But time is limited. When I do have extra time, I’d much rather spend it in the forest, cooking, cuddling with my cats, or being with loved ones.🧚‍♀️ Social media is often the last thing on my list... But I’m going to try to show up here more often, from a creative, heartfelt flow, sharing little pieces of my world and energy. It's something I feel wants to flow naturally now. 🌹

Feel free to share your feelings and thoughts about this topic 🙏

🌲 Fall and winter have more open spots for private retreats. If you feel curious or drawn, just send me a DM!

♡ Beyond theories, into true embodiment

Are you tired of drowning in endless information, spiritual theories, or glittery trends that leave you more confused than connected?

Deep inside, what you’re truly longing for is not another teaching, but to come Home — to walk a journey of true embodiment, where soul and body align. To live from a place of inner wholeness, in direct relationship with the Divine Source.

From this place, transformation unfolds from within, and you begin to embody your gifts. Anchored in your body, in communion with the Divine and with the Earth, you return to who you really are.

Whether this is new to you or you’ve been walking this path for years, the longing remains the same: to rise into the fullness of your being — grounded, sovereign, and free.

~ Let the power of Swedish nature help you return to yourself, connecting with your body and soul. Rediscovering the voice of your intuition and your creativity.

🌳Rest in the silence and fall asleep on our natural beds. Wake up in the morning to the sounds of animals, and welcome the day with the fresh, Scandinavian air.

🦋 Whether it's an intuitive exercise in the forest, a yin yoga session, or a heart-meditation, each activity brings you deeper into contact with yourself and your Essence.

🧡There are group excursions into the magical Swedish nature, but also plenty of individual time for creative exercises, silent walks, and relaxation with a warm cup of tea.

🦚This retreat will help you build a strong inner foundation of profound self-care and awareness, bringing you new insights and clarity. Connecting you with nature and also with your own inner voice.

~ Let the ancient Swedish wilderness remind you of who you are deep inside. That you are part of something greater... The real homecoming... What you have been searching for all this time...🤍

~ Why we are often stuck in the ’healing’ process ~

Most people who join my retreats tell me on the first day that they have been doing inner work for years, but still feel stuck. I often sense that they have been trying to 'fix' themselves from a wounded place of not feeling good or pure enough. This includes attempting to work from the 'mind', but no real healing will happen through the mind.

What happens is that every time you work from this energy, the wounded parts (including the inner child) hear: 'you are STILL not good enough, we have to fix you'—which creates even more inner unsafety. So, sometimes we feel even more anxious and down than before.

Real healing is a natural process that arises when there is enough inner safety and self-love. The body and soul hold immense wisdom to heal, but we have to 'get out of the way' and let our body and soul guide us.

But first, start with this foundation:

- How do you talk to yourself? Are your words supportive and loving?

- Where do you let yourself down, and where do you set boundaries?

- How often do you listen to your intuition (or have you forgotten what your intuition feels like)?

- How often do you make time for yourself and recharge your own batteries?

- To what extent do you feel connected to your body and soul in your daily life?

From there, you will have a strong relationship with yourself and inner safety. Your body and soul will bring up everything that is not resonating with this energy of safety and love. Purification will be a natural process. Now you can set the intention that you are ready to receive healing/insights on certain themes. And then you have to listen to the natural impulses you will receive. Maybe you feel the need to go outside, express emotions, write, make certain movements with your body, or set some boundaries. It can be anything. In that way, you are working from another layer—and not from the mind.

I wrote a blog on this topic—to read the full story, go to my website (link in bio). 🌟

Do you feel you want guidance during this process? Just ask me about the possibilities for an individual or group retreat. 💖

New date: January 21 - January 26 (max. 4 women) - now open!

The 4 foundations of my retreats:

🌳Nature and Grounding
Nature and working with nature’s energies will be a big focus during this retreat. You will experience how you’re part of nature, how nature heals and guides you, and the importance of true grounding and bodywork for your inner process, allowing your soul to anchor deeper into your body.

🌌Self-Discovery
Who am I deep inside? What is my soul’s purpose? What are my unique gifts, and how can I use them more powerfully? You will find that the real feeling of ‘homecoming’ and inner harmony can only be experienced through the rediscovery and reconnection with your own soul essence.

🦋Intuitive Work
Through intuitive (healing) sessions, excursions, creative exercises, and working with the elements and nature’s energies, you will be guided in your inner process, releasing limiting beliefs, fears, and patterns that no longer serve you. Additionally, you will receive tools and practices that you can use in your daily life to continue on this journey.

🧡Safety
In such a small group, where nobody knows each other and all women come from different parts of the world with their own unique stories and energies, it’s beautiful to witness how much respect and support there is for each other. Women who truly see each other and give each other space, allowing each other to blossom and open up in their most authentic ways.

- Price starting from €1195,-
- 1 shared room with 2 beds & 2 private rooms
- Airplane to Copenhagen and from there a direct train connection to Hovmantorp (+-3 hours). I will pick you up there.

You're welcome to experience the stillness & serenity of the beautiful nature in Swedish winter. Send me a message if interested. 💜 Or take a look on my website for more info (link in bio)!

People-pleasing, over-giving and making sure others are ‘okay’, can be something deeply ingrained in your system.
Some examples of how these patterns might have developed are that you sensed your parents' pain and felt somehow responsible for 'helping' them, you didn't feel seen on a soul-level and discovered that you received recognition by behaving in a certain way, or there are deep feelings of unworthiness within yourself and/or family lineage, creating a feeling of 'only if I take care of others all the time, I'm worthy'. And way more...

It's probably part of your soul's mission to help heal others and create change. It's beautiful that you want to 'give' and support others.

But the question is.....
--> From what energy are you giving right now? Is it coming from a place of inner wholeness, where your cup is full, allowing you to give without depleting yourself? Or are you giving from a place of inner woundedness?

The next question you can ask yourself:
When I give to others or when I please people, what am I unconsciously hoping to receive in return?

If you discover an inner wound, that is likely what your environment will mirror back to you. For example, if you believe you're not worthy of receiving and are only 'good enough' when you are always giving, people will behave in alignment with your deep beliefs. You will end up feeling used, drained, or disappointed.

Here you have a beautiful opportunity to transform and heal! Ask yourself, with eyes closed: what wound is being triggered in me? And what do I need right now to fill my own cup?

By developing a strong relationship with yourself and truly learning to love yourself, you will find that the need to please others begins to fade. You will have built a strong inner foundation and feel safe within yourself.

It’s easy to get lost in the overwhelming amount of spiritual paths, teachers, and information. Maybe you’ve been doing a lot of inner work but still feel stuck in certain patterns or fears. Perhaps you struggle with fully trusting your own gifts and wisdom, relying more on external sources of truth rather than your own intuition. You might become tired or even hopeless. Doubt might creep in: What is the point of all this? What is actually ‘true’? Am I still not ‘healed’ enough?

This is an invitation to break free from an old way of spirituality—a way that (in my eyes) leads to a disconnection from our own intuition, instead of embodied change. Here are some examples:

Searching for Answers Outside Yourself and approaching spirituality in a mental way.

Not Using Discernment: Where is the information you take seriously coming from? Does it truly resonate with you?

Waiting for External ‘Saviors’ and becoming too obsessed with a certain ‘truth’ or path.

Dissociating from Your Human Self: Looking for ‘bliss’ experiences outside your body, hopping from one spiritual experience to another, acting from a wounded self, while not truly going inward to make a transformation.

Manifesting from the Mind/Ego: Many practices focus on attracting material things from a place of lack or ego, but what does your soul truly desire?

Acting from an Inner Wound: We’re often encouraged to seek wholeness in achievements, material things, or others; this only widens the gap between personality and soul.

Imagine there are countless different routes mapped out for us. They all contain half-truths. Part is pure, and part is distorted or incomplete. Can you give up the urge to find a ‘truth’ or safety outside yourself?

From your own Soul- and Source-connection, everything flows. The answers you sought, the support you hoped to find outside yourself, the clarity that was missing, and the unconditional love and inner peace that you still didn’t feel.

I want to share something about myself and my way of working since I've never really expressed it here on facebook (only on my website).

Three years ago, I moved from the Netherlands to Sweden to live a more grounded life in nature and to build a cozy retreat center in the middle of the forest with my family and partner. Here, I host private (individual) and small-scale group retreats where I combine holistic psychology with my own intuitive way of working. Additionally, I offer online services such as intuitive writings, courses, meditations, and an online program.

My own journey has compelled me to find all the answers within myself and to build a strong inner foundation. I delved into many teachings, teachers, spiritual paths, and "truths" (rabbit holes) that left me confused and detached from my own body and intuition. After some deep inner experiences, I discovered how to receive insights and healing directly from my own soul essence. I found things that truly worked for me on this path, such as the power of nature, living naturally, grounding (anchoring the soul in the body), and returning to the essence of life. No 'glitter and glamour spirituality,' no searching for external answers and trying to detach from being human – but instead, connecting with our heart and integrating our soul with our human self, here on this earth.

I work directly from my own Source connection, guiding and activating you to make this inner connection too. I make this journey down-to-earth, easy, and enjoyable by working with nature's energies, creativity and practical tools.

When you connect with your own body and soul essence, you will feel safety, inner harmony, clarity, and joy from within. It's about remembering who you are deep inside, learning to work with your intuition and gifts again, and integrating true well-being and self-care on all levels.

🦚 Feel free to send me a message if you have questions about my work! I will also share a lot of free content and tools on my Instagram and page and on my website (don't forget to check out my free activation meditations).

Here are 2 easy ways to activate the energy flow in your body. You can do these when you start your day or whenever you feel the need to enhance your energy flow. These tips are also great for when you feel blocked energy in your body or when you're low on energy.

💁‍♀️ Body 'Tapping' - Sit down on the ground and use your hands to 'tap' on your body. This activates the meridians (energy pathways) in your body. Follow your intuition and don't forget any parts or sides of your body (don't forget your head). Prefer a softer approach? Just massage your body, giving extra focus to your legs and feet. It's all about connecting with your body, and you can do this in a way that feels best for you. Focus on your breathing while you're doing this. Breathe in deeply and let go of frozen energy when you exhale.

💃 Move Your Body to Music - Put on some music that you feel drawn to. If you want to ground and connect more deeply with your body, you might choose music with African drums. If you feel you have frozen emotions that you want to release, opt for more sensitive music that makes it easier to connect with your feelings. Set the intention that your body's intelligence will lead the way, and start moving intuitively. Don't think about what you're doing; just follow the movements of your body.

You can also join a private or group retreat with me in Sweden - where it's really easy to connect with your body and life force energy, supported by nature and the forests. Ask me about the possibilities 🧡
