The retreat is located in a beautiful nature reserve with peaceful surroundings offering a genuine and familiar environment with delicious, healthy luxurious food made with love.
We cultivate a sense of peacefulness and encourage a "digital detox" in shared spaces, allowing for deeper connection and presence. There will be moments set aside for capturing the beauty of your surroundings and exchanging contacts. 

As you start to walk your way, the path appears, Rumi

This transformational weekend will shift how you see yourself, your life, and the way you lead from within. If you’ve felt held back by old patterns or limiting beliefs, this is your chance to break free, reclaim your power, and step fully into who you are meant to be.  

In this retreat, we hold love, ease, and joy as guiding values. Transformation and change doesn’t need to come through struggle, it can be embraced with awareness, compassion, and conscious self-leadership.  You’ll step out of everyday stress and into a powerful space to breathe, recharge, and realign.

Through transformational breathwork, guided coaching sessions with the participants, and self-leadership practices, you will release what no longer serves you and rise into greater peace, love, and inner strength.

You will embrace your whole being, strengthen your self-love, and unlock the freedom within you. Surrounded by the magic of nature and a warm community, we will embark on a journey home to our true selves.

 Give yourself a weekend where everything revolves around you – your needs, your healing journey, and your future. The most important relationship in your life is with yourself, and the time is now!  

Take a leap and align with the higher frequencies now emerging, allowing yourself to step into a new realm of possibility, where you embrace your limitless potential and dance in harmony with the unfolding of the universe. Welcome to a weekend that will change how you see yourself and your life.

What lies behind and before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us, R W Emerson

I’m going to use my tools! I’ve gained valuable insights about myself and my own behaviors. I now have great tools to continue using at home to maintain my growth.




We rest in the presence of universal intelligence, allowing the mind to settle in stillness and creating space for feelings and reflection. Through the breath, we establish connection—listening to inner wisdom while letting the physical body move freely. Healing music weaves its way into our cellular system and emotional being, facilitating transformation and renewal.

Meeting in the heart, we use the power of love to open doors to new possibilities and dimensions. We create magic  just by being together, we form connections that goes beyond words. The beauty of these shared moments happens when we show up for ourselves and each other in our presence together. These shared moments have woven a strengths into our hearts that we always bring with us.

We carry forward a deeper awareness of connection - not only ourselves but to each other,  and to everything around us.
A beautiful reminder that we are never alone and that the inner work we do contributes to the world of light beyond imagination. Thank you for being part of the greater good.
