Our story - Why we brought "Authentic Love" to life

We are Sabine and Marcus, and we know from our own experience how challenging a partnership can be. A few years ago, we realized how we were drifting further and further apart - even though we knew deep in our hearts that we wanted to stay together.
This moment became a turning point for us. Through years of intensive work on our own, in women's and men's retreats, coaching sessions and seminars, we not only found tools that healed and strengthened our relationship - we also discovered our shared passion: helping other couples to have exactly these experiences.
Out of this ambition, we have even created our own retreat center - Pachawa, a place of healing and authentic encounter. This is where our seminars take place, in a place full of peace, inspiration and connection with nature.
For us, "Authentic Love" is not just a seminar - it is the result of our personal journey, our love and our deep desire to help couples meet each other genuinely and honestly again.

About Sabine & Marcus Lengfeld

We, Sabine and Marcus Lengfeld, are not only a couple, but also companions for people who want to deepen their relationships and live their authenticity. We have been walking through life together for over 20 years and are the proud parents of three wonderful children.
Our own journey has taught us how challenging - and at the same time how enriching - real closeness can be. Having experienced for ourselves how easy it is to drift apart in a relationship, we set out to strengthen and deepen our connection.
Sabine originally worked in the IT industry, but a burnout prompted her to give her life a new direction. Today she has been an art therapist, women's coach and mentor for many years and leads powerful seminars for women at Pachawa.
Marcus has always been an entrepreneur and has built and managed various companies. Through participating in men's retreats, he discovered his passion for guiding men into their authenticity and accompanying them as a coach.

With the founding of our retreat center Pachawa, we have created a place where we can pass on our experiences and insights. Our work is characterized by a deep understanding of the challenges and beauties of relationships as well as our shared vision of accompanying people in bringing love, growth and authenticity into their lives.

We look forward to accompanying you on your very own journey!

The accommodation for the retreat offers a perfect balance between comfort and closeness to nature. In the midst of the tranquil landscape, you will find lovingly designed rooms that invite you to calm down and focus entirely on yourself and your relationship.

You have the choice of staying in one of the cozy apartments with ensuite bathrooms or in one of the charming tiny houses, which impress with their homely atmosphere and proximity to nature. Both options are designed to offer security and comfort while allowing you to experience the peaceful surroundings up close.

Each apartment and tiny house is simply and stylishly furnished, with natural materials that reflect the beauty of the surroundings. Large windows let in the soft light, while cozy beds and thoughtful details make you feel right at home.

No matter which accommodation you choose, the peaceful atmosphere of this special place will help you to arrive in the moment and fully engage with the retreat.
