A luxury retreat for pet parents seeking healing, reconnection, and lasting soul bonds.
Dear Pet Parent,
Take a slow breath.
You are not alone here.
Losing your pet can feel like the world has gone quiet, even though your heart is still full of love. The depth of what you are feeling makes sense. You are grieving a soul connection that has changed form.
Sacred Paws™ Animal Retreat is a transformational week where your grief will be heard, and your heart will be met. The passing of your pet is not an ending but a doorway into deeper, transformative healing, connection, and self-love, all with your pet still walking beside you.
You will be guided through transformative breathwork journeys to help you release the pain and feel high states of consciousness. You will learn how to feel your pet again, sense their presence, and build a lasting spiritual bond across the veil through animal communication instruction and practice.
Are you ready to take the next step, with your angel pet right beside you?
With love,
Britta & Neelam
Release grief and reconnect with your pet across the veil. And you’re about to create that moment At Sacred Paws™ Animal Retreat.

The Daily Rhythm
How You Fully Arrive
Sacred Paws™ Retreat
Sacred Circle
We gather in Sacred Circle, a space of honesty, confidentiality, and deeply attuned listening.
This is where the love, the loss, and the ache you have been carrying for your pet can finally be spoken, witnessed, and gently held. So much of pet grief lives in silence. Here, it does not have to.
There is no fixing, analyzing or pressure to share beyond what feels true for you.
With Neelam and Britta guiding the space, the body begins to soften, the heart can exhale, and the grief held inside the nervous system starts to release. The bond with your angel pet is honored, not questioned.
From this foundation of safety, the deeper healing and spiritual connection naturally begin to unfold.
Soul2Soul Animal Communication
This is where your connection with your angel pet begins to feel more clear, present, and everyday.
- Deepen your understanding of the animal kingdom and pet heaven
- Learn how love continues beyond the physical world
- Release limiting beliefs that block trust and connection
- Expand your awareness of soul and its limitless nature
- Experience guided meditations to meet your angel pet
- Practice animal communication in a small, supportive group
- Build confidence in sensing and receiving your pet’s presence and messages
This work gently restores a soul connection that has never left you, just changed forms.
Trauma Release Breathwork Journey
You will be guided by Neelam, an International Breathwork Practitioner, through trauma-informed, intuitive breathwork journeys designed to access non-ordinary states of consciousness while maintaining safety, agency and regulation.
These journeys allow the body to release stored trauma, emotional residue and survival patterns that the mind alone cannot resolve.
Breathwork is precise, attuned and deeply intelligent work that meets your system exactly where it is, allowing release without re-traumatization.
Many experience profound resolution around:
- Emotional holding and suppression
- Relationship patterns
- Nervous system hyper-vigilance or collapse
- Ancestral and early-life imprints
- The inability to fully receive, rest, or be supported
Intuitive & Psychic Development
This work unfolds naturally as your nervous system softens and your heart opens. Guided by Britta’s mediumship and intuitive awareness, you are gently supported into a deeper connection with your own inner knowing and spiritual perception
There is nothing to force and nothing to fix. As grief, tension, and emotional holding begin to release, your intuitive senses become clearer on their own. What has always been there simply becomes easier to feel.
You may begin to experience:
- A stronger sense of inner knowing
- Greater sensitivity to energy and spirit
- Clearer emotional and intuitive discernment
- Deeper trust in what you feel and receive
- A more natural connection to soul and spirit guidance
This development is grounded, gentle, and rooted in safety, allowing your intuitive abilities to emerge in a way that feels steady, supportive, and real.
