Lions Gate Retreat

Inner Awakening Retreat

August 8th - 14th 2025

Tungestølen, Norway

Lead with Heart. Rise with Purpose. Return to Your Power.

Feeling out of sync with yourself and your purpose? Imagine spending seven days nestled in the majestic mountains of Tungestølen, Norway—where glacier views, fresh alpine air, and expansive silence hold space for deep transformation.

This experience offers so much more than just rest—it’s a guided initiation through nature, ceremony, and community. You’ll journey into breathwork by rivers, share in cacao and ecstatic dance under the stars, and gather for meaningful conversations around the fire. One of the most powerful moments of the retreat is the Sacred Plant Medicine Journey, held in a safe, sacred space surrounded by the untouched beauty of Norway’s wilderness.

Each day is nourished by vibrant meals, intentional practices, and soul-awakening scenery. From glacier hikes to cold plunges, this retreat invites you to fully embody your power, soften into presence, and rise as the leader your life is calling forward.

“Went on this retreat to help deal with anxiety and depression

Chosed this retreat for the amazing scenery, location, and food. The instructors and the support of the group were incredible, I left feeling so refreshed after. I felt like my mind and body received a much-needed reset. Honestly worked better than I thought.  Highly recommend this retreat to anyone! Worth every penny.”

What people say..

“Changed my life”

This was the first retreat I have ever attended (never the less alone), I definitely dove way out of my comfort zone. However when I arrived, I instantly formed deep connections with all who were attending along with the gracious hosts' Frankie & David. It was a blessing to feel so comfortable and right at home. Their incredibly meaningful program continued to surprise me with love and true growth each and everyday! I can honestly say, I came out a better woman from this experience.”

Ashley Langford.

“I learned how to trust my intuition

Before going on this retreat, I was dealing with some heavy stuff going on in my life (grief, a break-up, and overall feeling overwhelmed by the everyday demands of life). I felt very desperate for a reset or a new perspective.I could probably write a novel about my takeaways from this trip. As someone who struggles with anxiety and feels it in my body very heavily, the breathwork, yoga, and meditation soothed my soul. I love that they gave us everyday tools to take back with us to carry on this peace of mind. The community was wonderful as well. We laughed, we danced, we sang, and we were silly”
