This is how I spent last New Years eve- by the ocean, in the jungle, surrounded by some of the most unique people I have ever met. A day and night forever in my heart.

So this is another goal for 2022- more dancing, more beaches.

Harvesting my own cacao was another highlight of last year. To see the whole process from the tree to my very own cup of magic.

Jungle walks

This feels SO far away, braids, tan, shell necklace..a winter in Sweden is really not great for GLOW.

I talked to a LOT of plants last year and I keep learning that nature is the best medicine.

Breathwork ceremonies jungle style

I hosted a ceremony with a herbal elixir and breathwork on Punta Monas New Years retreat and I was so nervous hosting it in front of so many people, my biggest ceremony so far I think and it was just mind-blowing and it set the tone for the rest of the year.

I feel so grateful I got to meet so many sisters from allover the world and connect on such a deep level in such short time.

Touch is also medicine and I always incorporate that into my ceremonies for those who wish.

And SHAKING. I do it pretty much everyday and its saved me from a lot of anxiety this crazy year. Observe cats after they fight..they walk away and shake it all off and then they move on with their lives..while us humans tend to just hold it inside, get more tense and tense until we explode. Well not anymore. Not holding it in anymore.

Gathering in community in front of the fire is something I want to call in more of in this year to come.

And to learn even more about plants and herbs, especially the ones growing native on my land.

Grateful for all the people I got to meet last year.

Living in community has its challenges but really brings in so much magic.

Such contrasts- this was last year and this new year we were in complete solitude in the forest. Just me, 2 of my best friends and my dog.

Wow look at mama nature, the trees just delivers beauty and doesn’t compare or compete with eachother. They live and flourish together. Its very inspiring.

On international woman’s day me and Elin launched Her Peace which is a platform where we work to remove shame and stigma around woman’s health issues. We wrote 2 e-books, hosted our first Peace for Her retreat, hosted several online woman circles and coaching and we will continue with more retreats this coming year- the next one already end of January. DM me if you are interested or check our website

Ahhh these magical woman were such a delight to start the year with at PachaMama- an amazing community in Costa Rica with a lot of ceremonies, yoga, meditation and beach time. I had my own casita and had a LOT of alone time after not being alone for 4 months at Punta Mona, this was pure medicine.

Ahhh sunsets on the beach

And all the ceremonies..

Ran into my burning man friend Anais at Pachamama, magical woman.

Made offering to the earth – yoni

And sat in more ceremonies and woman’s circles

I moved on to Guatemala and stayed with my friend Azzurro up in the mountains of Jaibalito. A lot of alone time here as well and I really tried to learn the guitar without much improvement- coach anyone?

We hosted our first woman’s circle online with Her Peace which was a bit scary in the mountains of Guatemala with VERY unpredictable wifi but it went great. I also fell in love with the house cat Artemis who became my best friend for a few weeks.

My dear friend Azzurro that I have some exciting projects with in this year.

Lake Atitlan- manifesting a house on this lake this year.

So many ceremonies, this was a cacao ceremony around the fire with Nana Marina, a medicine woman from Guatemala.

My turban got an upgrade by a local abuelita.

And more ceremonies- this one with the magical woman Hamaima that I love dearly. Sooo much magic, songs and inner child healing.

Ahh Lake Atitlan..This is where I will build my winter home and spend a lot more time at. More info to come.

Did a plant dye workshop at Luna Zorro in Antigua and fell in love with her and the beautiful shop. If you have been following me a whole you might know I love to dye everything dirty white with avocado seeds for a dusty earthy pink tone and here I got even more inspiration and its another mission this year- use what I have in the garden and start experimenting.

Then my last stop on this life changing trip was Tulum where I danced on the beach, did some amazing breathwork, shopped endless macrame interior and ate a lot of Guacamole.

And stayed with Bibi that is a very inspiring woman that teaches conscious lovemaking and other tantric practices amongst other things. And I love her style!!

Alchemy of breath was a magical way to close of my 7 month trip- a very intense breathwork journey with music to DIE for.

I went a bit overboard with these guys..

Then I came home right in time for spring and started to decorate my cute little guesthouse.

And made loads of medicine with abundant weeds and herbs

A little piece of Guatemala and Mexico in the sweetest part of Sweden

Apple trees in bloom must have been one of my favorite highlights this year. Endless beauty

Ah and all the thrift shopping.

My master bedroom coming together

Ah dancing around Österlen was another highlight for sure. Spring time was quiet and so beautiful

And the beaches, almost like Bali..

My stair. My happy place

I found an old kitchen piece in a storage on my property and decided to put it in the yoga barn with the help of some amazing local handymans. Not as easy as expected..it never is, is it?

My first retreat was on summer solstice and it was over expectation magical.

So much love

And sisterhood

And herbal elixirs

And besties

This magical woman saved my retreat and cooked the most amazing food one could ever imagine. TACK TOVE!

So happy that these little magical berries grows allover my land.

Thank you mama cacao for taking me through this year and guiding me through life based on what my heart wants, and not what my overthinking money mind thinks.

My home is where my hat is.

So much joy having so many woman I love in the same place. We have all been spread out across the world so this is more than magical.

Morning writing exercises has been an important part of my year and well being. I like to start to write what im grateful for, what I let go of and what I call in.

Baby Elda came into my life and it would never be the same again. Its good that I was so naive about how easy it would be to get her to Sweden from the US cause if I did know I would have not have her by my side now. Love of my life.

So happy we were pretty naive about starting Her Peace as well cause if I would have understood how difficult it would be to reach out to a bigger crowd I would have probably not signed up on the mission- but so grateful we went for it cause I’ve learned so much and had so much fun and it feels so good to help make a change in how we talk and educate about woman’s health.

My mission to have a functioning permaculture farm in a year or so was very naive too but that time will come. I did manage to cultivate a lot of magical herbs though.

I feel like I have been allover the place..so much I want to write about, talk about and share.

And I also just want to be a godess and lay in my hammock and read one of my 100 books I have gathered on my journey around the globe.

And meditate more..that is on my list.

My healing barn ended up over expectation and its the perfect place to gather in ceremonies.

Natural beauty products have been a big part of my life in the past years. I no longer buy a lot of products- I rather make them myself and if I do buy anything I make sure it is as natural and non toxic as possible.

This is a dandelion body scrub that works like magic for my skin

And my friend Tove introduced me to sea moss as a hair mask and it was life changing.

I drove to a German castle, held a ceremony and joined several more. It was magical and really rough at the same time.

I got to hold some amazing cacao ceremonies at the magical place Fiskabäck in Österlen and got to meet so many beautiful souls.

This year I am selling my chakra set of crystal bowls and calling in some alchemy bowls to replace them. Anyone interested?

Manifesting a place like this to be able to host bigger groups than I am able to now.

And this dome is just so dreamy!!

Tried my best to learn how to grow my own vegetables. Some projects more successful than others.

I hosted a cacao ceremony around the fire at a new earth gathering in Österlen. SO much magic and so fun to find such a big community of likeminded souls down here in Skåne.

Drummed away with my new friend Johanna that I will host a trum and cacao ceremony with next week, I think there is a spot left so let me know if you are interested

More dancing in nature, really my happy place.

I hosted some small and intimate healing sessions in my yoga barn and it has been so beautiful to see my baby grow to life.

So happy I get to be surrounded by so many woke and wonderful woman in my life.

Here is one of them turning 40.

And here was on my birthday, cacao ceremony in a different forest.

Some other highlights were all my ceremonies at Conscious life. I love that place.

I also loved and cried over all my apples. Hard freaking work and I didn’t even manage to take care of most of them but this year I will put more love into it and maybe even create a little apple business, my creative juices are flowing.

In my happy place

It will be a year filled with a lot more nourishing beverages like golden mylks, cacao and matchas.

Magical Bree will hopefully come to Sweden from LA to co host a breathwork retreat with me here in May, lets all cross our fingers it will work out in this crazy travel world right now. She is AMAZING!

Sunrises in Malibu..ahhh makes me miss LA

And I timed in a live day with all my herbal witches  on some magical land in Pacific Palisades.

My mornings

For our Peace for Her retreat our chef Olivia connected with local farmers and we got this mega piece of a pumpkin amongst a lot of other magical foods. Goalzzz

Another goal is more retreats this year, its really what im the most passionate about. To gather in community, heal, share, eat high vibe foods and be in nature.

My apples made it to Stockholm and looking great in Fridas window

Super grateful for this magical woman for so much fun this year- my garden guru Frida that I am sure you already know .

I will also learn more songs on the drum this year. Ahh a lot of missions.

Its also been so wonderful being back in Sweden and reconnecting with some old friends, same same but different.

I have been trying not to buy anything in terms of clothes for a year and a half now as I have more than I need but this jacket has really saved me in this hardcore winter I am now living in.

My fermentation projects keeps me busy. This will hopefully be apple cider vinegar soon

Ah kale from the neighbouring farm

And that little green house-WANT!!

This is how my healing barn ended up, still a work in progress but the kitchen is in place, ready for my cacao lounge to open up.

And future collaborations with sound healers and kirtan bands.

Almost there..I have been working on my cacao brand for like 5 years now, its really a labour of love and its been through so many phases but SOON it will be launched and you will LOVE it. The blends are to die for.

Me and Elin joined the podcast Härligt Ärligt and it was such a beautiful meeting with Emma and Jennie that we also decided to collaborate and start selling their yoni inspired jewellery – LOVE.

Get it in our webshop.

Ah baby Elda is getting used to snow

Its a love story

And now a cozy winter in front of the fire

Trying to find my winter style here after so many winters abroad. its really been too cold for me to maintain some sort of sense of style, its been more about survival.

My closing ceremony this year was of course- MAGICAL. Looking forward to this year to come

With many more magical forest memories

Loads of home cooked high vibe foods

Loads of snuggles

And people who really allow me to see them and that sees me for who I am.

And sooo much more music. Yep, that’s it. 2021 was a whirlwind of a year and I know in my heart 2022 will bring in all that I dream of.

Fire- the element of transformation. My favourite ritual to do around the full moon and new moon is to write down what I want to let go off and then throw it in the fire and watch it BURN. Very powerful!!

I turned off my phone all day Sunday and wow the creative juices were flowing.

I strained some medicines I made almost 2 years ago and they are potent..

This is Vanilla medicine- super divine and potent and the only way I use vanilla- the powder you get in the store is so processed but this my loves is the real deal!! 1 dropper of this in my cacao and my life just got a whole new meaning..

The things that are cooking on my stove..A hair mask made of sea moss- which is the best thing that ever happened to my hair. Then a decoction of my new favourite adaptogen Rhodiola- game changer..amazing for energy, depression, anxiety, post partum depression, focus, mental clarity..I mean..I have been drinking it for 3 days now and I feel like a super human.

Ah Blue vervain..Amazing nervine which means its calming to our nervous system, calming and amazing for meditation and dream work. Perfect for insomnia and just really good for the winter months of deep rest. I have a few extra bottles so send me an email if you want to get one.

I will be back at the cozy studio Pachamama in Hägersten on December 15th and it will be the last one for this year- 2 more spots left so send me an email if you are interested.

I will be spending a lot of time in Stockholm December and January and will be renting out my entire place- Main house, Yoga barn, Guest house and a sauna. OR do you want to trade for a few weeks? Shoot me an email:)

Had a meeting with my accountant and since I dont really make it out of my sanctuary that often I took the opportunity to dress up.

A few spots left for my Cacao ceremony at Conscious life in Stockholm on December 18th and I have a feeling we will go deep.

I have been living in denial that winter is coming but here it is, my car is snowed in and I will live on kale and garbanzo beans until it melts away haha

But beautiful it is

Elda LOVES it!

I didn’t get that many pictures from my trip to Varberg earlier this week but here is one. We had lunch at a really cute fish place in the harbour and I fell in love with this magical town.

Oh the ocean energy. Makes me miss LA sunsets SO much

Found a really good deal on 3 kg of kale and my excitement was probably over the top. Super excited for kale chips, fried kale, kale soup, kale everything..any tips let me know!!

Ok that was it for now, pray for me this weekend that I survive this snowstorms

Går du runt och funderar på vad du ska köpa till dina vänner och familj i julklapp och vill ge något meningsfullt? Då kan jag verkligen rekommendera att ge ett presentkort som gäller på mina framtida kakaoceremonier eller på ett 454 gr block ceremoniell kakao- finns att köpa på min hemsida

Den här veckan gästar jag och Elin Härligt Ärligt podcast och snackar yonisnack, våra Peace for Her retreats, holistisk hälsa, sisterhood och så mycket mer- lyssna och gå in och följ både oss på @weareherpeace och @harligtarligtpodcast

Vi fick chansen att kolla in deras fina smycken från deras SNIPPA kollektion som skapades för att hylla oss kvinnor och det ÄLSKAR man ju!! En helt oplanerad och ostylad photoshoot i något som kanske ser ut som en lush djungel men som är framför en magisk buske i Emmas trädgård i minusgrader.

Och såklart Elda fick vara med på ett litet hörn också.

Prepping the altar for my ceremony at Conscious life which is really one of my favourite studios in Stockholm. Really amazing energy in there.

Shaking and brushing off stagnant energies is one of my favourite practices I love to share. I try to do it every morning and before going to bed.

And I got to join some cozy family dinners at the Billegrens.

I just LOVE their house. AND I love my new sleeping bag jacket that has been a game changer living for me that is trying to survive my first Swedish autumn and winter in many many years.

So funny that I asked Frida for advice before I got the jacket..and it ended up she already had one.

Lunchtime dog walk

And this was my last ceremony in town, a very powerful full moon gathering at the beautiful store Swedish Nature Collaborations which I can highly recommend- supercute store!!

I took a day for some well needed selfcare with an infrared sauna session at LAMB and I got to see 2 of my favourite people Lousie and Romissa, we’ve been friends since I met Louise at Vattefestivalen 25 years ago and its never a boring second talking about our crazy memories we’ve shared together.

I’m super into drumming lately and I will take this winter in front of the fire to learn some new songs so send some my way if you have any.

Ah, Elda transformed Fridas idea that she doesn’t like dogs.

And I am getting pretty tired of all of my bags I have to carry around with me with all my intstruments- I think I need one of those HUGE bags that photographers and stylists use on their trips so I can have it all in one place..Right now I am really allover the place- Any recommendations?

Best assistant, THANK YOU Frida

I am also manifesting in some alchemy bowls into my life, the sound of those if you ever experienced them is just SO much more amazing. If anyone has any used ones to sell- let me know

Ah and some pictures from Fridas magical home. Apples are from my Apple Meadow

I think that was it for this time..Have a beautiful week and I hope to see you at any of my upcoming ceremonies in December.

Ah I LOVE the magical mountains in LA- Malibu, Topanga, Pacific Palisades- If I ever move back this is where you will find me.

Such a beautiful reunion with my sister Hannah that I haven’t seen since we hugged our goodbyes on a beach in Costa Rica last christmas- SO much had happened in both of our lives and it was not enough time to catch up

In my favourite Topanga store- Moona Star.

Want it all

But this was not a shopping trip so the only thing I got was a selfie with my new puppy

Ahhh look at that pillow..

At my friend Marcielos wizard house north of LA

I got some amazing seeds to plant next spring..super excited!!

A sound healers dream with instruments in every corner

And here he lives alone with his 4 wolves and a whole lot of crystals

Thank you for being such an inspiration on how to live off the grid, plant seeds, play music, water plants and stay away from everything that doesn’t feed your soul.

With my dear friend Jess, I used to live in a house in her backyard my last years in LA and that also feels like a whole lifetime ago. She has since then moved pretty much fulltime to PachaMama in Costa Rica- the community I stayed at for a month earlier this year and there she works as a teacher in their school.

Sunrise cacao and journaling at my friend Hannahs magical Malibu patio

And then I made it to one of our school of the sacred wild live mentor meet-ups and I got to hug my favourite woman Des and make some magical herbal medicines.

Of course Elda joined witchy school and she did so well.

Our epic teacher Marysia showing us around the herbal garden before our medicine making

And we learned more about composting- so inspired to build one of these at home

This plant was magical- made my whole mouth numb and its said to be great for toothache, I can highly recommend.

And I stayed a few nights on the east side with my dear friend Ashley who coached me through my first days and nights as a puppy mom. THANK YOU

Elda saying goodbye to Frankie, so heartbreaking to take her away from her mom and sister.

How cute is her family? In love with them all

I get so many questions on when its the best time to drink cacao and in my opinion you can never go wrong. Although my favourite cup is my first cup in the morning. I normally make it pretty unsweet- 2 tablespoons cacao, cayenne to get my system going, some Himalayan sea salt and 1 date. Then I normally add some chaga or cordyceps mushroom to get me through the day with a happy and calm nervous system

Here we are preparing for a cacao ceremony with Izaias who is an amazing cacao medicine man.

Here he is preparing to cleanse us with the raisin copal which smells amazing and is used to cleanse bad spirits and energy.

Erika is having a cacao in Izaias cute little shop in San Marcos.

And the brown thing you see is a dried cacao fruit- cause YES, cacao is a fruit and one of natures most potent superfoods.

The house dog at the woman’s collective we buy most of our cacao from.

Here are some of the ladies who are peeling, roasting, grinding and chopping the cacao you can buy in my webshop and that I drink everyday. These woman are SO amazing and I just love to sit in their backyard and smell the cacao being roasted.

Here abuelita (grandmother) Magdalena is showing us how to grind the cacao beans so they turn into a paste- SO hard to do, she just laughs at me when I try.

This is the peeling process- each bean will get the skin peeled and all the moody beans get sorted away and according to these ladies- they get sold to the bigger commercial chocolate companies- YUCK.

This is how the beans get roasted- all done by hand to control the temperature- no bean can get burn as it will kill some of the potency as well as make it taste bitter.

This is some local chili

And this is me setting my intention for the day, drinking my first cup up in the mountains overlooking the lake in our dear friend Hanna Englund beautiful ceramic cups that we are obsessed with.

You can order on her website I think, not sure if she ships to Sweden as the logistics have been really hard but I really recommend you check her out.

Such a cozy space

Ahhh cant wait!!
