Workshop led by Certified Trainers, Tuulia Syvänen and Pete JordanFor the first time ever Honesty Europe is offering a retreat dedicated to healing your relationship to money!
You are worth it – Transform Your Money Beliefs in Syvilla Finland, 10-13 April 2025
We’ll spend four days and three nights together in our lakeside retreat center Syvilla, which is surrounded by a lush forest.
The retreat will include daily workshop sessions as well as free time for walking in the forest, dipping in the (cold) lake, soaking in the jacuzzi, sitting in the nightly sauna (in our large wood-burning sauna).
Our goal is to explore and share our money beliefs, heal what is unfinished within ourselves regarding money, and exploring the meaning that we give to money.
We will look at the money beliefs we learn as children from our parents (that may be helping or hindering our happiness). We will explore how we create misery for ourselves with money via overspending, underspending, being greedy or tight, charging too little for our work, not feeling worthy of the money we receive and overworking / overdelivering or underdelivering, etc.
We also want money to be less of a taboo for you and others. We will share about how much we earn, own and will or have inherited and more so what feelings, sensations and meanings we attach to these numbers.

~Workshop on How to Live, Love, Laugh & Be Happy & Completely Ruin Life as You Know It~
Honesty Europe’s work is based on direct communication and vulnerable sharing that leads to intimacy. For many of us honesty is kind of scary fun that turns out better than you thought it would. Lying is work and a pain in the ass and makes you often lonesome and miserable as hell.
We claim that lying is the major source of all human stress. It wears us out and eventually kills us. When people engage honestly, energy that was wasted maintaining a performance to make an impression is suddenly available for real creativity in playing together. When we admit our pretenses, we can refresh our relationships and powerfully create new ways of living together.
What We Do:
On each day, we’ll do some yoga, meditation and workshop sessions. The sessions will include a deeper dive into your money beliefs and values you attach to money. By exploring through discussions, sharing and exercises about your money issues, our goal is for you to feel more free, spacious and with agency around money matters.
We’ll be looking into patterns, behaviors and our core beliefs around money and the meaning we give to money (or the lack of it). We will also explore how we sabotage our opportunity to earn good money and/or enjoy the money we have. We’ll do group and paired exercises and might also do hot seat work around money beliefs and healing our currently unhealthy beliefs or patterns around money.

About the Trainers:
Tuulia Syvänen is the certified Radical Honesty trainer who has led the most RH workshops in Europe. She also does 1:1 and couples coaching.
Having grown up in a dysfunctional family—where difficulties and negative feelings were often swept under the rug—Tuulia became passionate about self-expression and self-awareness, and learned the importance of setting one’s boundaries. Most important, she learned the power of honesty. Her life’s mission is to help create more love and connection between people through honest sharing.
Tuulia participated in her first Radical Honesty training in 2012 with the founder of Radical Honesty Dr. Brad Blanton and continued her training under the guidance of Dr. Blanton.
Pete Jordan is the only certified Radical Honesty trainer in the Benelux countries. He organizes and co-lead Radical Honesty workshops around Europe with his wife, Tuulia, as well as does 1:1 coaching.
Pete has changed his life for the better by committing to live honestly, expressing his resentments and appreciations in the moment and by asking for what he wants. A major breakthrough for him was to have honest talks with his ex-wife and four siblings. He has broken the traditions of his childhood’s family and began to talk about things he was afraid of and embarrassed about and what he didn’t like in his childhood.
Pete has great listening skills and he is keen on developing and learning every day. His vision is to support others to live happier, freer lives.
