Guest Facilitator Jonas Lorentzen
Nebala, former Heilung, The Northman
Jonas is a musician and voice practitioner known from Nebala and formerly Heilung, and for his work connected to The Northman, where he has explored traditional Nordic vocal expression.
In this retreat he shares grounded, practical voice work rooted in breath, resonance and presence, suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
“I was part of Jonas' workshop at Midgardsblot. I very much recommend it! He made a very safe and comfortable area for people to take part and find our voices, both our own and our communal voice.
He also gave room for it to be a conversation and let people share their thoughts which I find interesting.
Great for beginners and also some with more experience in this area.”

About the Retreat
Free the Voice is a four-day retreat held at the first new moon of the dark half of the year, during the Samhain / Álfablót period. This is a time traditionally associated with endings, ancestors, and the thinning of the veil between worlds. The retreat is shaped as a journey inward, where voice becomes a tool for presence, courage, and connection.
Together with musician Jonas Loretzen, we explore the voice beyond performance. You do not need to “know how to sing.” The work is about sounding, listening, breathing, and daring to be heard. Through simple vocal practices, song circles, ritual, silence, and reflection, we create a space where the voice can move freely, without pressure or expectation.
Alongside the voice work, the retreat includes yoga, meditation, ceremony, and time in nature. We move slowly, in rhythm with the season. There is space to rest, walk, write, sit by the fire, and integrate what arises. This is not a retreat for fixing yourself, but for meeting yourself more honestly.
Free the Voice is for those who feel a pull toward the dark season, who sense that something wants to be expressed, released, or remembered. It is for those who are willing to be a little brave, to listen deeply, and to let their voice become a bridge between the inner world and the outer one.

Power of the Voice
Through his Voice Activation Workshops, Jonas guides people back to one of humanity’s oldest forms of connection: song. These workshops are not about performance or technique. They are about remembering what the voice truly is: a living instrument for connection, healing, and transformation.
We explore the body as a resonant vessel, the breath as the bridge between worlds, and song as a way to awaken a deeper sense of self. Participants are invited to rediscover the natural power of their own voice: to listen, to release, and to find harmony together in sound.
Drawing from ancient singing traditions and modern understandings of physiology and psychology, the workshops offer a space that is both grounding and uplifting, a reminder that song is medicine, and that we heal not alone, but together.

Intention
This retreat takes place in the dark half of the year, in the time of Álfablót, when the hidden world feels close.
Sound is a way of bringing the inner vibration of our being out into the open.
Our truth, our longing, our grief, our courage.
Letting it move through the dark.
Here, the voice is not about singing well.
It is about daring to be heard.
About letting something real leave the body.
In this season of shadows and thresholds, we gather to be brave.
To let our sound walk where words cannot.
And to listen for what answers back.
What will you gain?
○ A better understanding of the energetics during this magical period of the year where we can walk between worlds.
○ Visualisations and tools to connect with your voice.
○ The grounding effect of participating in ceremony.
○ A weekend of recharge in a too-busy society.
○ The magic and strenght of gathering in circle.
○ A sacred meeting space for likeminded souls.
○ A deep connection to the land, the seasons and your own inner rhythm.
Nord Retreat Center
In the village beneath Norefjell, idyllically situated along the green shores of Lake Krøderen, lies Nedre Skinnes Farm. It is located midway between Krøderen and Noresund, on the western side of the fjord.
Om Re Wild
På Re-Wild Retreats følgjer vi årshjulet, solverv og jamdøgn, månesongen og den gamle nordiske og keltiske kalenderen. Med vårt unike konsept Kundalini X Paganisme tilbyr vi ei vegleiing på vegen tilbake til din plass i naturen, di re-wilding-reise.
Vi følgjer vegen frå våre eldgamle indoeuropeiske røter, og går frå yoga til djup kontakt med vår eiga jord gjennom europeisk spiritualitet. Tilnærminga vår er djupt animistisk; vi heidrar naturvesena, dei gamle gudane og universet som bur i oss og i alt. Vi arbeider med ritual og seremoni, den heilage tromma og løyndomane som ligg gøymde i ryggrada vår for å frigjere oss sjølve og kome heim.
Vi ynskjer deg velkomen til å reise saman med oss.
Kva om du fekk sjansen til å synkronisere deg sjølv på nytt og ta din rette plass i livets og universet sin syklus?
Ville du teke han?
Kundalini X Paganisme?
Vil du læra meir om dette (kanskje litt rare) konseptet?
Eg lovar at du kjem til å lika det ♥!
Om Ellen
Ellen har ei djup lidenskap for Kundalini Yoga og for sambandet mellom menneske og natur, saman med ei sterk kjærleik til folklore, song og den usette verda.
Etter å ha flytta til Island og seinare til Noreg, voks ønsket hennar om å veve saman yogisk visdom med europeisk spiritualitet og den urkrafta som ligg i våre rike røter og vår ætt.
Gjennom konseptet Kundalini X Paganism skapar Ellen rom der vi kan følgje naturens rytmar og finne att vår plass i livets sirkel. Ho nyttar yoga, pust, ritual og kontakt med elementa og åndene som vegar til indre ro og ytre tilhøyrsle.
Etter mange år med leiting etter tilhøyrsle og ei kjensle av å vere heime, har ho kome til å akseptere at ho er mest heime i grenselandet, i mellomrommet.
Ellen ønskjer å inspirere andre til å leve meir i takt med naturen, finne balanse i seg sjølve, og hugse at vi alle er del av den same levande heilskapen.
About Jonas
Jonas Lorentzen is a Danish musician, composer, and voice facilitator, and the creative force behind Nebala. His work draws on ancient vocal traditions and global spiritual ideas, approached through the lens of an artist rather than a spiritual practitioner. He uses the voice as an instrument of expression, inquiry, and emotional depth. Jonas’s music blends ritualistic inspiration with contemporary production to create immersive, human-centered sound worlds. His creative focus is on exploring how story, sound, and transformation meet.
Jonas has collaborated with internationally renowned projects such as Heilung and contributed to the film The Northman, bringing deep experience in traditional Nordic vocal expression and ritual sound practices. His work bridges ancient voice traditions with contemporary performance, grounding his teaching in lived artistic practice.
About Phenia
Phenia is a birth keeper, herbalist, and works with natural cycles, embodiment, and the deeper rhythms of life, focusing on connection to the earth, the body, and ancestral wisdom.
Her offerings bring people together around fire, voice, and presence, inviting participants to open their voices, connect with community, and explore the intersection of myth, nature, and lived experience.
Phenia’s work is rooted in ritual, storytelling, and the alchemy of intuitive practice, guiding people into embodied awareness and meaningful connection with the unseen world and natural cycles.
About Koen
Koen is with us during the retreats, mostly in the background, making sure everything runs smoothly. He prepares meals, helps with practical tasks, cleans up, and takes photos along the way. His presence creates a feeling of safety and ease in the space.
Outside the retreat, Koen is a classical jiu-jitsu teacher and offers self-defence courses for women. He brings the same grounded, respectful approach into the retreat setting, supporting both the practical flow of the days and the people within it.
Seva-plass
Seva kjem frå den sanskritiske rota sev, som betyr «å tene». I yogisk tradisjon er seva ei usjølvisk teneste gitt utan forventning om å få noko tilbake. Det er ein del av Karma Yoga, handlingas yoga, der kvardagslege oppgåver blir ei levande øving i medvit, audmjukskap og omsorg for andre.
På kvar retreat finst det éin Seva-plass. Denne plassen er for ein som kjenner eit kall til å bidra med ein liten del av tida si i teneste for gruppa. Denne personen kan delta på retreaten til ein sterkt redusert pris.
Kjenner du eit kall til å ta Seva-plassen på denne eller ein annan retreat? Ta gjerne kontakt med meg. Vi ser særleg etter hjelp innan foto og video, samt støtte på kjøkkenet.
FAQ
Kva er ein seremoni?
Seremoni bringer det heilage inn i det vanlege livet.
Vi navigerer i endring og ønskjer nye syklusar velkomne.
Å gjere seremoniar skaper ei bru mellom den materielle verda og verda til det usette.
Vi vil utføre enkle, tilgjengelege handlingar med nærvær og meining.
Desse får djup symbolsk kraft når dei blir gjort i ein heilag sirkel.
Vi skaper eit trygt rom for oss sjølve og kvarandre, og opnar oss for å kjenne att naturens syklusar i våre eigne liv.
Kva språk skal bli snakket?
The retreat will be held in English,
but we have Norwegian, Danish and Dutch available between us :).
Kva slags mat skal vi ete?
Etter naturen og intensjonen til retreatet blir det servert sunn vegetarisk og vegansk mat.
Vi tilpassar oss gjerne allergiar og andre behov, berre sei ifrå på førehand.
Kva om eg aldri har gjort yoga før?
Alle timane er lagt opp slik at dei passar både for nybyrjarar og dei meir erfarne.
Så lenge du møter opp med eit ope sinn og lyttar til kroppen din, går det heilt fint.
