MEN'S SELF-DISCOVERY TIME 1:1 Retreat: Stop Just Getting By—Take Back the Wheel

Während des Retreats steht dir deine private Holzhütte als persönlicher Rückzugsort zur Verfügung. Ein zusätzlicher Yoga -& Meditationsraum lädt dazu ein, zwischen den Prozessen zur Ruhe zu kommen, nachzuspüren oder einfach still zu werden.
Bettwäsche und Handtücher sind selbstverständlich vorhanden.
Das Bad befindet sich wenige Schritte entfernt im Gartenbereich.

To ensure you’re well taken care of during the retreat, we’ll be serving you lovingly prepared vegetarian or vegan meals made with fresh, organic ingredients and wild herbs that nourish both body and soul.
In addition to breakfast and dinner, light snacks as well as hot and cold non-alcoholic beverages will be available throughout the day.
There is no à la carte dining, but we will, of course, accommodate any individual dietary restrictions.

✦ How I Work
I’m Sabine, a psychological counselor and the woman behind “The Green Couch.” I guide people through life transitions in nature, especially when it comes to reconnecting with themselves, taking their boundaries seriously, and no longer ignoring their own needs.
* With heart, humor, and clarity: I use an approach that’s sensitive to the nervous system and neurodiversity, but I also bring an honest attitude and a willingness to explore with you the areas where things get uncomfortable.
* Undivided attention: With me, you’ll get something that’s become rare: plenty of time. During your retreat, I’m there exclusively and one-on-one just for you and your process.
* No “functioning,” no “performing”: Many experience their time with me as a safe haven from everyday life. Simply be cared for for a few days, take a deep breath, and explore together with someone the burden you’ve been carrying alone for far too long.
* Shamanic Roots & Nature Work: Nature is far more than just a beautiful backdrop: it regulates your overloaded nervous system and is an active part of our shared process.
Upon request, ancient shamanic tools, nature rituals, and subtle energy work are incorporated into your support. This helps resolve issues where the rational mind often reaches a dead end—in a deeply grounded and utterly down-to-earth way.

The foundation of my work
Training in life and social counseling, couples and sex therapy, bodywork, human energetics, shamanism, and nature and wilderness education. Over the years, this has evolved into my very own style: psychologically grounded, nature-based, and deeply grounding.

✦ The Retreat Location
My lovingly maintained place of power is located in the Murtal valley in Styria. It’s surrounded by lush green nature and nestled between mountains, forests, and water. It’s a place to take a deep breath, completely free of TV, radio noise, or the constant digital buzz that keeps you constantly disconnected from yourself.
Instead, you’ll find: nature’s cinema with the murmur of a stream and a chorus of birds. No Wi-Fi, but a full connection to yourself.

✦ What Your Days with Me Will Look Like
Your retreat follows a clear structure, but isn’t meticulously scheduled down to the minute.
We work with whatever arises and is important at the moment.

• Day 1: Arrival & Settling In You’ll arrive at your leisure starting at 3:00 p.m. Afterward, we’ll get to know each other during our first “Walk & Talk” in nature and take a look at the topic that brought you here. The evening is all about winding down: a cozy dinner, taking a deep breath, and stargazing.

• Day 2: Deepening & Process Work The heart of your retreat. After breakfast, we’ll focus entirely on your topic. Depending on what your system needs right now, we’ll work through conversation, walking in nature, creative activities, or body awareness. In between, there will be regular breaks to process, reflect, and rest.
The day ends with dinner once again.

• Day 3: Integration & Transfer After breakfast together, we’ll take time to reflect on the experience: What has come to light? What has become clearer, and how will you carry this new strength back into your everyday life? Your retreat ends around 10:00 a.m.
