WEEKEND RETREAT
Shamanic Soul Essence retreat
A weekend to remember your Soul’s Path and Purpose
12 – 14 september 2025
Maarn, Netherlands
Remember why you came here
What if, it only takes one weekend to uncover the true meaning of your life? What if, it only takes a natural surrounding, a safe bedding and total peace, to make something inside you just click. Like, “ohhh—THIS is who I am. THIS is what I’m meant to do”.
If you’ve been longing to connect to yourself, find the answers within, and remember your purpose, then the Shamanic Soul Essence Retreat is perfect for you!
This weekend retreat is not about finding your purpose—it’s about remembering it. It’s about peeling back the layers of doubt, conditioning, and “shoulds” until you see yourself clearly, powerfully, and fully.
It’s your space to come home to yourself, to remember who you are, why you’re here, and what you’re meant to do. Through ancient shamanic wisdom, guided soul journeys, self-discovery tools, yoga, and sacred rituals, you’ll return to your essence—that deep, unshakable part of you that has always known why you are here.
And the best part? You ALSO get to relax! That’s why it’s called a retreat, after all!
the transformation you've been longing for
Remember your Soul's Path and Purpose
If you know me, you will have heard me saying that ‘everything you need in life is within you’. Because it is.
In this retreat, you get the space to go on a Soul search to your essence.
‘Cause if you’ve been getting great insight during 1 – 3 hour ceremonies,
imagine what can happen when you immerse yourself in your Soul’s wisdom for an entire weekend…
This retreat could just be that thing that will change your life.
The only question is, are you ready?
What makes this retreat different?
THE SOUL MAP PROCESS
Of course, you’ll relax a lot during the SHAMANIC SOUL ESSENCE RETREAT, but we’ll go even further than that.
At the heart of this retreat is something special: The Soul Map Process. It’s my unique process that guides you through a journey of deep self-discovery, helping you integrate your insights from the retreat and gain clarity on your Soul’s path. Over the course of the weekend, you will move through four key layers, uncovering deeper insights each step of the way:
1. The Foundation – Who Am I?
2. The Past – What Have I Learned?
3. The Present – Where Am I Now?
4. The Future – Where Is My Soul Calling Me?
Trust me when I say that you’ll get to know yourself on a whole other level!
Imagine This…
- Waking up in nature, knowing this weekend is just for you.
- Starting your day with a refreshing dip in the pool, peaceful moment in the sauna, and yoga & cacao!

About your host
Hailey Noa: Soul Shamanic Practitioner, Cacao Ceremonialist, Yoga Teacher, Coach
Hey, I’m Hailey, and if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this: life gets loud—so loud that we forget to listen to the one thing that truly matters… our Soul.
Once upon a time, I was a lawyer in courtrooms, now I’m a guide in ceremonies. I know what it’s like to live a life that looks good on paper but feels out of alignment. My own journey led me from feeling stuck and lost to shamanism, cacao, Soul Purpose and deep Soul work—helping me reconnect with my truth.
Since then, I’ve led thousands of people through ceremonies, sessions, programs, and soul journeys, guiding them back to clarity, purpose, and inner wisdom.
My mission? To connect you to your Soul, so you can find the answers within and remember your path and purpose in life.
The SHAMANIC SOUL ESSENCE RETREAT will do exactly that—it’s a homecoming to yourself. I’d love to guide you on this journey.
Will you join me?

No. This retreat works with shamanic practices such as guided journeys, cacao, nature immersion, and sound healing—not psychedelics. Cacao is the only plant medicine we will work with. Everything we do is safe, grounding, and accessible to all.
The retreat will be in English.
Cacao is a safe plant medicine. It is not a drug or psychedelic, so it won’t make you high or hallucinate.
There are however some contraindications for drinking cacao. It is not advised to drink cacao if:
- Have severe heart problems
- Are on a high doses of antidepressants that contain MAO
- Use medication against high blood pressure.
You can drink cacao while pregnant, but cacao can activate your baby or cause nausea. If you’re not familiar with drinking cacao while pregnant, only take a few sips.
Consult your doctor if you want to join a ceremony but are not sure if this is suitable for you.
To make sure you experience the cacao the best, the following is advised:
- Don’t drink any coffee on the day of the ceremony.
- Don’t eat anything at least 3 hours before the ceremony.
- Don’t drink any alcohol or use drugs the day before and on the day of the ceremony.
After our opening ceremony that is combined with cacao, a shamanic journey and a nature connection, we’ll have a delicious lunch!
