The true beginning of the year lies in spring, when nature awakens anew and everything comes to life. Use 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—into your very own potential.
To where your life gains strength, direction, and meaning.
LIVE YOUR S.E.L.F. means: Live your true self.
And at the same time, S.E.L.F. stands for Meaning, Energy, Love, and Joy—what you take away from all our retreats in a lasting way.
What to Expect
Together, we embark on a journey of deep self-discovery, utilizing psychological methods alongside the profound wisdom of the Enneagram. This wisdom tradition was originally taught by the Sufis, the spiritual masters of the East, and offers perfect guidance for anyone interested in personal development and deep transformation.
You will get to know yourself anew—beyond roles, expectations, and old patterns.
In a safe space, supported by mindfulness and trust, what within you wants to be seen, understood, and transformed is allowed to emerge.
This retreat combines:
- sound psychological knowledge and the wisdom of the Enneagram
- intensive 1:1 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 grounding, personal connection, and creative vitality.
Every retreat is tailored—to you, your issues, and your current life situation.
Following an in-depth preliminary consultation, we design YOUR individual retreat.
Discretion and mindfulness are a given for us: We are bound by confidentiality.
To give you the greatest possible privacy and space for yourself, single occupancy of the bungalows with king-size beds is standard.
