Can you imagine the Sensation of the Feeling of coming Home into your Body, Mind & Soul? Join a guided retreat of Space of Light in the Bernese Alps
Space of Light Retreat · 9 to 13 November 2026 · Lake Thun, Switzerland
Frequency Days Weekend Training · 14 & 15 November 2026
How would an entire week feel in which the only thing asked from you is to soften so you feel space to embody yourself? To remember what it feels like when your body, mind & soul are in the same room again, willing to connect & talk to each other?
Imagine this. After your journey to Switzerland, you arrive above Lake Thun at the retreat destination. Everything in you slows down.
You can almost smell the air carrying that particular quality of late autumn. The kind that holds something tender, ready to listen if you slow down enough to notice it. Picture Mount Niesen across the water beginning to look less like a mountain and more like a mirror. You set down a bag you have been carrying for years, even if it has been hidden under emails, school runs, and other people's needs.
With a gentle sound you notice the door closing behind you. For the first time nobody wants anything from you. The kettle in your room is waiting to be used. While you sit down you observe the mountains outside, realising that they have been here for thousands if not millions of years and are in no hurry. You can lean in to that pace for a few days.
Picture the moment a few days from now when your shoulders drop another inch on their own, and you realise they have been raised for a long time. Imagine the morning you open your eyes after a morning meditation session and notice you see the world more vibrant. There is time to stroll to a meadow with the view on the Bernese Alps, you sit down with your notebook on your knees, asking your soul a question, and recognising the answer as it arrives, in your own voice, in your own words, flowing down on paper. There for you to share with self in future moments.
You connect through space place and time with self aspects. You align with selves. And you start to feel the clear guidance of higher self and your body. As a mind you allow them to speak up and you listen. This is what coming home into your body, mind & soul actually feels like in real time.
Hellen Tiethoff. Founder of Space of Light, author, medium, spiritual business consultant, trainer, gastronome & mother.
If I can do ityou can do this too
Hellen writes as if you are sitting across from her at the table, having a chat. She blends spiritual perception with lived practice, trained at the Spiritual Arts Academy in the Netherlands, with seeds picked up at Lee Harris Energy and the Facereading Academy. The theory she learned in Zooms and classrooms, she tested for decades in the dining rooms of Swiss hotels, where her angels trained her in the middle of dinner service, with no time to overthink too much.
Just imagine for a moment. Hellen in the midst of service, using the spiritual tools, while carrying in her left hand 2 plates of delicious food, in her right hand a bottle of wine, chatting with her guests and at the same moment feeling what guardian angels and guides share about the energetic aspects of karmic encounters between guests, causing friction or deep joy. As if given permission by spirit, she sets healing in motion while she swirls to the next table.
The encounters with guests, expressing their gratitude to have walked into the restaurant where Hellen happened to be working at that moment, are countless. They gave Hellen reassurance of how worldwide guidance teams indeed work together to bring people to Switzerland to meet her. After all these years, Hellen shifts her role from waitress to retreat facilitator, so you can benefit much more deeply from her talents and gifts and decades of training.
That same training and these levels of knowledge now flow into her books, her YouTube channels, the Space of Light retreats and the School for Applied Awareness Frequency Days. The retreats and Frequency Days are held mainly near Lake Thun or Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, the country she fell in love with in 1992 during a summer holiday job, and where she has lived continuously since 2016.
Since 2004 she has led inner consciousness journeys. Since 2010, workshops. Since 2014, she has guided entrepreneurs as a Spiritual Business Consultant. Hellen has accompanied hundreds of people from more than 19 countries. She lives currently in Oberhofen am Thunersee with her son Ray.
Michaela Stücki, co-host
Acupressure therapist and Hellen's collaborator since the founding of the Space of Light retreat format. Michaela makes sure the inner work lands in the body. She assists the retreat group throughout the week, so your nervous system leaves soft instead of overstimulated.
You will meet some of the most interesting people you have ever met in your life.
Imagine sitting across from someone you have never met, and recognising them by sense, by knowingness, or by how their aura feels and matches yours when you walk by them.
Some retreats introduce you to a friend you will keep in touch with for the rest of your life. Others bring a stranger across the table at lunch on Tuesday, the two of you talk for one long afternoon, something inside both of you rearranges itself, and then you part ways and never meet again. Both kinds of meetings are real. Both kinds belong to this retreat.
The group is small on purpose, limited to 10 participants. What makes this retreat different from others is that here several generations are welcome under one roof. You can come with your parents, with your grown children, with a dear friend, or completely alone. The possibility is open, the obligation is yours to leave aside. What is certain is that the field of people who answer this particular invitation tend to recognise each other. That part is older than this retreat. We are just providing the meeting place.
The teaching and experiences of retreat facilitator Hellen flow deeply into this aspect. As Hellen is used to having her guides bring people into her life, her Guidance team does the same for you. Guidance teams work together long before your eyes meet this landing page. So you feel this calling if you are asked to attend, not just for some relaxing days, but mostly for the people you'll meet along the way. Ask yourself, is this retreat meant for you, or are you expected at another retreat facilitated by Hellen? Whenever you feel the click, you are more than welcome.
5 or 7 nights along the lakeThe first half rests youThe middle widens youThe last half affirms youIf you choose the Frequency Days extension, you partake in a training that supports you to become you
Picture the week unfolding with no rush. Each day asks something gentle of you, and gives you more in return. You plan your journey, and wherever your starting point is, you can arrive on Sunday for the soft landing, or roll in on Monday. The price stays the same either way.
SundaySoft arrival · Dorint Beatenberg
An early landing, if you want it
Imagine checking in a day before everyone else, walking out onto the terrace, breathing the alpine air for the first time. Sunday is yours. A walk, a soak, an early supper. For those who choose the optional Heal & Dine evening with Hellen, the table is set for storytelling, signed books and the kind of conversation that prepares the ground for the week ahead. This is the space to ask Hellen any questions you have. Optional.
MondayArrival day · Beatenberg
The group gathers
For the early arrivers, there are 4 slots available in the morning for either an acupressure session or a massage. For those who arrive today: picture warm afternoon light over the lake and the hills, the rest of the group arriving one by one. In the hotel lounge we gather, and what unfolds is the kind of recognition that arises between strangers who are about to spend a week together. An optional shared stroll through the area, in the direction of Mount Niederhorn. Those who are fit enough walk all the way up. Those who prefer a stroll come with me halfway up the mountain, and we take the cable car from there. A first meal together, a few introductions, then the kind of evening that opens slowly because there is space.
TuesdayBeatenberg
Grounding into the body
Mornings open with ChiGong, and 2 slots of body work by Michaela Stücki, acupressure therapist. Picture the first practice from the Yellow Book landing in your tissues, the meeting with the Spirit of the Centre of the Earth, the kind of grounding that makes everything else possible. The afternoon is yours. The mountain is right there. Walk, sit, write, sleep if your body is finally asking for it.
WednesdayGroup excursion · Giessbach Falls
A high-energy day at the water
Picture an early start by public transportation. We take the bus and then the lake boat to Iseltwald, the kind of journey that feels half pilgrimage. A walk along the shore to the famous Grand Hotel Giessbach, a shared lunch in a dining room that has held seeking travellers for over a century. After lunch we walk up to the Giessbach Falls themselves. Hike to the top if your body wants the climb. You'll be guided by Michaela. Or be like Hellen and take the tourist path if the slow pace is what is calling. Either way, the waterfalls hold something the body recognises before the mind catches up. We return over the water to Interlaken. Here you can choose where to dine. Either dine in Interlaken, or return to the hotel above it.
ThursdayBeatenberg · Beatus Merligen
The pink book opens, the lake calls
Picture the morning in which the Pink Book Creation opens for the first time. A gentle introduction to future-vision writing, the practice Hellen does wherever she is: in a restaurant, on a boat on Lake Thun, or on her couch. After lunch, as a group we descend from the mountain to the lake shore and transfer to Hotel Beatus in Merligen, a 5-star sanctuary on the water. From there the afternoon opens up for you to choose: sink into the spa, or step into an individual conversation with Hellen, somewhere in the hotel where you both feel at ease. Small energetic shifts happen as you speak with one another. We come back together for a shared dinner.
FridayBeatus seminar room · Crossroads
The retreat concludes, and you choose
Imagine you walk into a seminar room, with an open view of Lake Thun, on the final morning, the entire group together, Mount Niesen across the water keeping its quiet watch. This morning we gather for what Hellen refined as a Shift to a Higher Destiny, a ritual that lifts up your life for the coming 90 days. The retreat is gathered, the threads are tied. We share our last lunch together as a group. Now you can exchange details with those you resonate with. Talk about how you connect with each other, how or when to meet in the future. By midday the group splits. Those for whom this is enough say their goodbyes and continue the rest of their lives, lighter than they arrived. Those who want to keep going board the lake boat with Hellen toward Hilterfingen, where the Frequency Days begin the next morning.
Colour-coded books. One signed copy as a gift, if you are one of 4 who choose the Heal & Dine evening.
Imagine carrying these books home in your bag at the end of the week, opening them in your own home, and recognising the writing as the same voice that just walked you through the Swiss Alps.
yellow book
Foundation of Light
The book that gives you the basics that hold everything else up. Grounding through the Spirit of the Centre of the Earth. The separation rose at the edge of your aura, that absorbs foreign energies, thoughtforms and emotions, so it doesn't even enter or trash your personal space. The Golden Sun Fill-Up that returns your own energy to your own body. Communication cords, your Holy Guardian Angel, your inner authority once it stops being given away.
Her motto, the one she carries through both books and through this week: if I can do it, you can do this too. The chapters can be read in one sitting or one a week, whichever your nervous system prefers.
pink book
Creation through Soul & Guidance
The book that shows you what creation actually looks like once you stop expecting it to obey the Law of Attraction, and start following the path your soul laid out for you. Future-vision writing as a daily practice. Real conversations with the Circles of Light, transcribed word for word. Witnessing a past life on a deathbed in the Bernese Alps, healed through who Hellen is today. A wooden treasure chest, lost in childhood, still shaping how her son relates to safety today. Mountains as messengers, the lake as witness.
Hellen writes it the way she talks. She asks you to actively drift off while you read the chapters, and write down for yourself what you perceive. The chapters can be read in one sitting or one a week, whichever your nervous system prefers.
Sunday evening · Heal & Dine
An optional evening at the table with Hellen, around the retreat dates. Three Sunday evenings are available, before or after the retreat. A long dinner at a restaurant of Hellen's choice, conversation that opens or closes the gates of the retreat, and at the end of the evening, one signed book that Hellen chooses for you. Yellow or Pink, chosen based on the felt resonance with you in mind. The kind of book gift that makes you feel met before or after the retreat itself.
Three places. One lake. Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in sight from each.
The deeper layer of this retreat sits in the people. Your guidance team has been arranging the meetings long before you read these lines. Some of you will recognise a friend from a past life and pick up the thread that was once dropped. Some of you will share a single afternoon with a stranger, find what you needed to find, and then part ways with gratitude, each free to follow what fits the person you are today. Both belong here.
Sun to Thu · The retreat
Dorint Beatenberg
Above Lake Thun, with a wide view across the Bernese Alps. The main base for the softening days. Slow mornings, body work, walks through alpine meadows, the kind of space that opens doors for you to experience being embodied by your soul. We benefit from the crystalline energy of the house across the street, where an alpine crystal hunter stocked his entire home with the most amazing Swiss crystals. His crystal shop opens on request, so you can bring an amazing crystal home from this retreat.
Thu to Fri · Time to soak
Hotel Beatus, Merligen
A 5-star spa hotel by Lake Thun. We descend from the mountain on Thursday afternoon. The spa, the dinner, the final morning in the wide-windowed seminar room. A shared lunch before we say our goodbyes.
Sat to Sun · Frequency Days
Hotel Bellevue au Lac, Hilterfingen
The training venue for the School for Applied Awareness. By the lake in Hilterfingen. Retreat participants who continue have first reservation of the lakeview rooms before they open to everyone else.
The Frequency Days. 2 intensive training days for those who want to integrate the work.
The Frequency Days are a recurring weekend training format, hosted multiple times a year at Bellevue au Lac in Hilterfingen. Each weekend stands on its own, with its own topics, methods and tools. This particular weekend is designed to align with the retreat itself, held between the English and the German retreat weeks. For retreat participants, it is the natural integration arc.
The weekend shows you how to turn the gentler current of the retreat into something you can practise on a Tuesday morning at your own kitchen table. By Sunday evening, you have faith you can sit down at home, open the Pink Book, write a question, read the answer that arrives, and trust what you receive.
Saturday is given to the Circles of Light. They will open your channels to your personal spiritual support team. How they show up for Hellen, how they may show up for you, how to ask, how to listen, how to know whose voice is whispering on a given morning. Sunday turns to reading the time-that-comes. The exercises from the Pink Book, practised in real time with feedback, in pairs, in the room. The point of these two days is the practice that survives the journey home.
Three different kinds of participants share the weekend: those continuing on from the English retreat, those joining the German retreat the week after, and those who come just for the Frequency Days. The mix is part of the field.
Especially here, the fun of all those spiritual support teams is deeply felt. They agreed and planned long in advance to bring participants together. Some just to meet that weekend, brought into a space where several past lives' shared karma can be completed, and others meant to share future moments together. Some for leisure, some destined to become business partners. Who knows what the future holds? This weekend is an excellent place to mix and mingle with others. Feel in, lean in, exchange with each other. Consciously co-create what the future holds.
What the retreat asks of you, and what is held within each price.

Pay It Forward
Some participants choose to book a second place, for someone ready for this step who cannot yet meet it financially. That second place is held for the person whose timing aligns. If you would like to pay it forward, mention in the booking call exactly what you have in mind.
Now you have read it all. Before you hit the apply button, I would like to ask you to think about it for a day. Ask your soul if this is the place to be. If over the course of the coming day, your yes stays a yes, then come back tomorrow and book your apply-for-a-spot call. Place a reminder in your phone for a time tomorrow, name it something like:
Is the retreat in the Bernese Alps the place to be for me?Will this retreat bring my body, mind & soul multiple benefits?
Thanks for taking your time to read. And who knows if we'll meet each other at Lake Thun, Switzerland. Till then, take care, bye bye.
