BRING YOUR DREAMS TO LIFE RETREAT
Do you dream of taking the leap and following your passion? Creating the life you’ve always envisioned? This retreat is your chance to pause, reflect, and receive concrete inspiration and guidance to bring your dreams to life.

Over five transformative days, you’ll immerse yourself in nature, forge meaningful connections, and visit our homes and those of other inspiring individuals who have brought their visions to life. Through workshops, personal guidance, and powerful stories, you’ll walk away not only inspired but equipped with practical steps to take your next leap forward.

The workshop begins on August 18th, 2025 at 4 PM and ends on August 22nd, 2024 at 2 PM.

ACCOMMODATION
The first two days of the retreat will be spent at a delightful and authentic bed & breakfast, lovingly run by the warm and welcoming Gitte. She puts her heart and soul into ensuring your stay is nothing short of wonderful.

For the final two nights, your home will be a beautiful hotel in the heart of Lemvig, a charming coastal town known for its stunning landscapes, vibrant harbor, and inviting atmosphere.

Accommodation options include a shared double room with either a private or shared bathroom (depending on availability at the time of booking) or a private double room with a private bathroom for an additional charge of €500.

WHO
This retreat is perfect for dreamers, markers, and creators who are ready to reconnect with their passions, gain clarity on the life they want to create and take meaningful steps toward turning their dreams into reality. It’s for those seeking fresh inspiration, new direction, or simply the space to reflect and refocus.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll forge meaningful connections with like-minded individuals and be inspired by real-life stories of people who have followed their hearts and brought their visions to life.

WHERE
The retreat unfolds across several inspiring locations in the heart of Denmark’s East and West Jutland, each chosen for its charm, authenticity, and the stories it holds.

You’ll visit Sif’s Creator’s Nest, a beautifully restored old schoolhouse near Aarhus that serves as a haven for creativity and inspiration, and Vivian’s enchanting watermill, nestled near Randers, where history and dreams converge.

In addition, we’ll journey to unique spots owned by creators, makers, and dream chasers who have found innovative ways to turn their passions into reality. These locations offer not only breathtaking settings but also invaluable insights into the art of forging a life filled with purpose and creativity.

Creator’s Nest (Sif’s home) is located 1 hour and 15 minutes by car from Billund Airport and 30 minutes from Aarhus Airport. It is about 30 minutes by car from the center of Aarhus and 30 minutes from Randers railway station.

During the retreat you will be brought back and forth from the bed & breakfast each day by car. On the 22nd we’ll bring you to the Central Station of Aarhus at 2 pm.

TESTIMONIALS

"I

SIGNED UP FOR SIF'S WORKSHOP HOPING TO HONE MY VISUAL STORYTELLING TECHNIQUES...BUT I LEFT WITH SO MUCH MORE."

For me, the main benefits came when Sif shared the inside secrets of her incredible personal success story and from receiving invaluable individual feedback which she happily provided beyond workshop hours and even upon my return home! Importantly, she makes you feel comfortable instantly, no matter your photographic experience. Her down-to-earth approach helped participants to immediately gel well together which made the workshop fun.

Sif's style of communicating her visual storytelling knowledge is unique and made me feel truly connected and inspired. I returned home equipped with more tools and fully motivated to take action on my dreams.

I can’t speak highly enough of Sif's workshops.

IVAN EBEJER, MALTA

“I strongly recommend joining Sif Orellana in any upcoming retreat.

She shares her talent, but, more importantly, her wisdom! You might not know but you cannot really live happily without it!

KAJSA JEPPSON, SWEDEN

“I AM STILL IN SOME KIND OF EUPHORIA AFTER MY RETREAT WITH SIF ORELLANA."

Thank you so much for being the most inspiring, caring and warm person I have met in a long time, Sif. I will always be grateful for this retreat.

NETTAN DAHLQUIST. NORWAY

"AFTER SPENDING JUST A FEW DAYS TOGETHER AT A SCANDINAVIAN CHRISTMAS TALE RETREAT, A VERY SPECIAL BOND WAS CREATED BETWEEN EVERYONE IN OUR LOVELY GROUP."

It was such an honor to be a part of this creative bunch, made extra special by our lovely leader and teacher Sif. Her passion and ability to inspire, her big heart and kind words, her empathy and unlimited generosity are so precious and inspiring that we were all in awe. I came back home with a full heart and lots of new friends. It was unforgettable! Thank you Sif for bringing us all together and sharing your hearts and wisdom!”
