Experience the True Spark inside

The sign of Christmas (and New Year) is a star, 

a light in darkness. 

See it not outside yourself, 

but shining in the Heaven within, 

and accept it as the sign 

the time of Christ has come. 

~ ACIM 

Lately we have been connecting on the thought that no amount of beauty in the world can give us the True Spark. Naturally, this can only come from the experienced vision from inside. Let's ignite the True Spark of the Christ Mind together over the holidays, to make it even stronger in the awareness, in preparation for letting this True Spark shine at all times: forever and ever!

We will have a very powerful group setting by the ocean, talking only about what matters in your heart right here and now, watching movies with deep conversations and being in silence and prayers together. All for the complete release.



Our retreats give a safe environment to get in contact with and let go of old thoughts and thought patterns in a fun and interactive way with the movies. This frees up the mind and gives space to the True celebration of being You. Feeling the shining Spark of Christ within!

“Worth every blessed moment.”
~ David Hoffmeister

“Helena's inspired unwinding with the help of movies is so empowering and healing.”
~ Carolyn Hennes

“A fantastically fun way to wake up!”
~ Stig Fjorland

Helena has devoted her life to awakening full time for over 15 years. She has collaborated with teams in mind training, lived with and counseled brothers and sisters in spiritual community from all over the world in this purpose. On top of that she has also traveled on countless world tours and held metaphysical movie get-togethers for more than a decade.

One of her profoundly given Gifts of the Spirit is to tune into just the perfect movies on the topics that arise for those she joins with. Everyone is then gently guided from the old way of thinking into the new and healed perspective through the movies. And now we are being blessed to enjoy this Gift all these days together!

Our venue is located 5 minutes walk from Sweden's longest sand beach: Mellbystrand

Watch movies in the most exciting way - to heal in mind!

The Movies
The movies will be revealed during the retreat as the participants share the thoughts and feelings that are occurring in the moment during their Now Conversations. After praying on these Helena is given movies which will help the participants to heal in mind.

How it works
The film is first being introduced with the deeper lessons by Helena and is being paused so as to reinforce key points of the message that occur during the movie. The movie is also being paused when the participants notice further thoughts that they want to heal. The talks are based on the teachings of A Course in Miracles and its message is that we can watch the mind and desire to choose joy instead of fear; to desire only the peace of God and transcend anything that seems to be standing in the way of our True Being. Watching movies with Helena in this way is extremely healing, beautiful and fun to experience together!

Language
The retreat will be held in English and will have subtitles in the movies.

We look forward to join & celebrate with you!
