A one-day retreat for listening beyond the inner critic
Imagine …..
waking up each day with a quieter, kinder relationship with yourself
what might become possible if you listened to yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you so readily offer others.
for many of us, the loudest voice we hear is our own inner critic—questioning, judging, and demanding more
for many of us, self-criticism dominates our thinking, drains our energy and holds us back from what matters most.
Listening to Yourself
is not about getting rid of the inner critic.
it is about developing a new relationship with yourself—one grounded in awareness, compassion, and trust.
Come and learn to listen differently, and to live differently.
You deserve this
About the venue
Our retreat venue is located within a 8-minute walk of Hämeenlinna railway station, making it easily accessible by train while providing a peaceful setting for reflection and learning.
That said, we recognise that the right environment matters. If your group would feel more at ease in a different location, we would be delighted to bring the retreat to you.
Hämeenlinna – Historic Castle Town by the Lake
Hämeenlinna is often regarded as Finland’s oldest inland town still in its original location. Set on the shores of Lake Vanajavesi in southern Finland, it combines a strong historical identity with parks, museums, and is also known as the birthplace of Jean Sibelius.
The Rhythm of the Day
Throughout the retreat, we will create space for both learning and reflection.
The day will include:
- Guided learning and practical insights
- Interactive exercises and gentle group activities
- Meaningful conversations
- Journaling and personal reflection
- Time in nature
- A nourishing lunch and moments to pause
- Opportunities to connect more deeply with yourself and with others
What Becomes Possible When You Listen to Yourself
- A greater awareness of your inner dialogue and its impact on your wellbeing
- Practical tools for responding to self-criticism with greater compassion
- More clarity about what truly matters to you
- Increased confidence in trusting your own wisdom and judgement
- A renewed sense of energy, perspective, and possibility
- Meaningful connections with others on a similar journey
- Time and space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself
If you’re tired of living with a hard, constantly critical inner voice, I’m here for you. Johanna

You had me at Listening to yourself
