Summary

Taking Stock in Midlife
You’re in the prime of your life, and on the surface, much seems to have gone well: you’ve built a life, shouldered responsibilities, and kept things running smoothly for many years. And yet there’s this quiet unease that defies explanation but keeps resurfacing. A sense of distance from yourself and the question of whether the life you’ve led so far still truly suits you.
This feeling is no coincidence. Midlife is a special threshold. Priorities shift; much of what has sustained you for so long suddenly feels constricting, and at the same time, the awareness grows that time and energy are precious. Old goals lose their significance, while something new becomes palpable, though it has not yet taken a clear form.
A desire arises to align your own life more consciously, harmoniously, and closely with your own needs. Not because everything up to now was wrong, but because something wants to evolve further.
The psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung described the first half of life as the building of personality and the second as a turning toward one’s own self.
This is exactly what this retreat is for: It views this phase of life not as a failure or a crisis, but as a natural step in development, and creates the space to move from inner confusion back to a harmonious, conscious alignment in which you can perceive yourself more clearly and vividly.

○ What to Expect
In an exclusive three-day one-on-one setting, I will guide you through nature as you assess where you stand. Together, we will honor your life journey so far and what has shaped, sustained, and formed you. At the same time, we’ll focus on what needs more space in your life again: needs, values, longings, or aspects of yourself that have faded into the background over the years.
It’s not about developing a finished life plan or finding hasty answers. Rather, step by step, greater clarity emerges about what truly resonates with you today, which direction feels right, and what your next chapter requires.
Many people leave these days not with a complete plan, but with something deeper: a clearer inner alignment, greater trust in their own perception, and the feeling of standing more consciously and vividly in their own lives once again.

○ Who this retreat is for
This retreat is for people who sense that a new chapter is beginning within them—one that can no longer be ignored.
People who no longer want to be guided solely by expectations, roles, or obligations, but who want to reconnect more deeply with what matters to them personally.
Perhaps you’re seeking greater clarity about where your energy should flow. A deeper connection to yourself rather than constantly functioning on autopilot and putting yourself last. More inner guidance instead of endless self-optimization and the constant balancing act between reason, expectations, and the needs of others.
You don’t want to let the coming years unfold by chance, but rather shape them consciously.
This retreat is for people who are ready to honestly confront these questions and consciously set aside time and space for them. People who sense that something wants to shift and are now looking for the right setting to give this development their full attention.

○ If you feel that the time is right
If this retreat resonates with you, I invite you to a personal preliminary consultation.
In this conversation, we’ll explore together whether this one-on-one retreat is a good fit for your current life stage and whether it provides the right setting for your needs.
Since I personally guide each process from start to finish, only a limited number of retreat dates are available per summer season (June–October).

○ My Approach
I guide you through several days of intensive process work and nature experiences using a trauma-informed, nervous system- and neurodiversity-friendly, and body-oriented approach.
Unlike in individual counseling sessions, this creates a sustained one-on-one space where your system doesn’t have to constantly react, perform, or function anew. Over the course of several days, what often finds no place in everyday life or has long been overlooked is allowed to emerge.
My work combines psychological process guidance, scientifically grounded nature-based work, body awareness, and, upon request, gentle human-energetic impulses. Nature is not merely a backdrop here, but an active part of the process and a quiet space of resonance.
Many people find it relieving to explore their issues not only through conversation but also through movement, in the forest, by the water, or in silence. This creates an access point that can be not only thought about but also directly experienced.
The goal of these days is not self-optimization, but greater clarity, inner orientation, and a deeper connection to what is truly essential to you.
My foundation is built on training in life and social counseling, couples and sex therapy, human energetics, trauma-sensitive yoga, as well as nature and wilderness education.

○ The Setting
The retreat location is intentionally simple and low-stimulus: a quiet, nature-oriented retreat without Wi-Fi or television, allowing your nervous system to noticeably find peace.
Throughout the entire retreat, you will be in an exclusive one-on-one setting. The space belongs entirely to you, your concerns, and your personal process.
Over the course of three days, a safe space for experience and transition emerges, supporting you in stepping back from daily life and gaining clearer insight into where you currently stand and what in your life is calling for your attention.
I do not follow a rigid program. The guidance is tailored to what emerges and is needed in each moment. This allows your process to unfold at its own pace, and you gain clarity about what truly serves you.
The guidance follows a clear framework of arrival, deepening, and integration, and is tailored to what emerges and is needed in each moment. This allows your process to unfold at its own pace and according to your needs.
I consciously work with only a few clients per season so that I can devote my full attention and provide individual support to each retreat.

○ The Schedule

Day 1 – Arrival
Arrival starting at 3:00 PM and initial settling in. Many clients already experience a noticeable sense of relief here, as daily life, obligations, and the need to be reachable are allowed to fade into the background.
After your arrival, we’ll get to know each other during a Walk & Talk and focus on the issue that brought you to this retreat. Together, we’ll establish a framework for the coming days.
The evening concludes peacefully with a shared dinner.

Day 2 – Deepening
The second day forms the focus of the retreat. After a quiet breakfast, space opens up for your themes, questions, and inner movements. Depending on the process, support takes place through conversation, in nature, in movement, or via body-oriented approaches. Together, we examine patterns, needs, inner conflicts, or decisions that are currently significant in your life. Between sessions, there is time for integration, retreat, and regeneration. Many people find this combination of guidance, nature, and silence particularly valuable.
The evening once again concludes peacefully with dinner.

Day 3 – Integration
On the final day, we sort through and integrate what has been experienced. We consolidate insights, clarify open questions, and focus on what concrete elements from these days can be carried into your everyday life.
Together, we develop a roadmap for the next steps, so that the experiences of the retreat do not remain merely a special event, but can continue to have an impact beyond our time together.
Around 10:00 a.m., your retreat concludes, and you return to your daily life with greater clarity, inner alignment, and a stronger connection to yourself.
