The true beginning of the year lies in spring, when nature awakens anew and everything comes to life. Take advantage of this moment to consciously start anew for yourself as well: with an extraordinary experience that connects you deeply—with yourself, with others, and with everything that makes up our lives.
If you’d like to be guided by experienced, licensed psychologists and are interested in profound experiences in an extraordinary, inspiring setting, then you’ve come to the right place.
With our newly designed LIVE YOUR S.E.L.F. – DEEP INSIGHT Retreat, we invite you to dive into the depths of your own truth: out of what limits you—and into your very own potential.
To the place where your life gains strength, direction, and meaning.
LIVE YOUR S.E.L.F. means: Live as your true self.
And at the same time, S.E.L.F. stands for meaning, energy, love, and joy—the lasting gifts you’ll take away from all our retreats.
What to Expect
Together, we’ll embark on a journey of deep self-discovery, drawing not only on psychological methods but also on the profound wisdom of the Enneagram. This wisdom tradition was originally taught by the Sufis, the wisdom teachers of the East, and offers perfect guidance for anyone interested in personal development and deep transformation.
You’ll get to know yourself anew—beyond roles, expectations, and old patterns.
In a safe space, supported by mindfulness and trust, whatever within you wants to be seen, understood, and transformed is allowed to emerge.
This retreat combines:
- in-depth psychological knowledge and the wisdom of the Enneagram
- intensive one-on-one coaching/psychotherapy sessions with Dipl. Psych. Eva Senges and Verena Peipe, M.Sc. in Psychology
- inspiring group processes and seminar sessions
- 9D Breathwork, yoga, and meditation
- inspiring activities in extraordinary locations of natural beauty, vitality, and spiritual depth.
Our Approach
Our retreats are projects close to our hearts. As experienced psychotherapists, coaches, and systemic consultants, we have developed a format that combines scientific rigor, personal connection, and creative vitality.
Each retreat is tailor-made—for you, your personal issues, and your current life situation.
After an in-depth preliminary consultation, we’ll design YOUR individual retreat.
Discretion and mindfulness are a given for us: We are bound by professional confidentiality.
To give you the greatest possible privacy and space for yourself, single occupancy of the bungalows with king-size beds is standard.
