RELAXED & ALIVE – Your North Sea retreat when you feel there’s more to you than meets the eye.

RELAXED & ALIVE – Four Days Back to Your Vitality

On the outside, everything’s going well. You’re the reliable one, the competent one, the one who gets things done. You know how to breathe when things get tough. You’ve learned to keep yourself in check. And yet there’s this quiet sense: I wasn’t always like this.

There used to be a fire. A wildness. A clarity about what you want—and what you don’t. Somewhere along the way, you turned it down a notch. Not out of weakness, but out of reason. Because it was too much. Because others felt uncomfortable. Because you’ve learned that it’s safer to make yourself small.

Now things are running smoothly. But it feels restrictive.

RELAXED & ALIVE is for you if…
✦ you come across as confident on the outside—but deep down, you feel there’s more to it
✦ you know your needs—but rarely act on them consistently
✦ you carry a lot of responsibility and rarely feel supported
✦ you’ve been making yourself smaller than you are for too long
✦ you don’t just want to relax, but to truly stir something within yourself
✦ you’re ready to take an honest look—and to speak up when necessary

What these four days will stir within you:
Most wellness programs focus on just one aspect: quieter, slower, gentler. But vitality doesn’t come from more stillness. It arises when your nervous system is allowed to experience the full spectrum again—from sitting in silence to dancing ecstatically. From conscious breathing to loud laughter. From being alone on the beach to a deep conversation with a woman who truly sees you.

We deliberately combine opposites: meditation and ecstatic dance. Yoga and live music. Beach coaching and the sauna. A shared meal and a walk on the beach. Because you need both. And because you’ve had both within you all along—you’ve just forgotten them for a while.

What you’ll take home:
Not just relaxation. But permission.

✦ Your mind is quieter—and your voice is clearer.
✦ Your body feels powerful, instead of just “okay.”
✦ You make decisions faster because you know what you want again.
✦ You’re in touch with your needs—without immediately pushing them aside.
✦ You stop holding back so as not to upset others.

You won’t just drive home more relaxed. You’ll drive home feeling more alive. And that’s a difference your friends and family will notice.

Here’s what to expect:
We’re a small group of no more than 8 people—intentionally small so there’s truly space for you.

5 sessions with trauma-sensitive guidance: meditation, stress-release yoga, beach coaching, and ecstatic dance. In between, plenty of time for yourself—on the beach, at the spa, enjoying live music at the hotel, or in the evening at the Soulfood Journey at Auntie Clara.

You’ll be staying at Urban Nature in St. Peter-Ording. A place that fits this retreat perfectly: relaxed, grounded, and quietly beautiful.

Here’s what past participants have said:
“Being happy, laughing, dancing, crying, feeling & sensing, living & enjoying… what wonderful days filled with pure joy and vitality. Thank you so much to all of you for the wonderful hours!”

“The days in SPO did me a world of good; they were rich in experience and have left a lasting impression. I often found myself smiling at how that vitality suddenly makes itself felt. At yesterday’s company anniversary party, I was back on the dance floor 😂”

"Calm in the storm—two opposing forces united. Thank you for these magical and powerful days and for the realization that the two are not mutually exclusive but, in their resonance, release new energy: trust. A deep trust in myself, my ideas, and my path."

About Me – Anne-Kathrin Stitz
I know what it’s like to make myself small. I was a people-pleaser par excellence—overly compliant, addicted to harmony, a perfectionist. For years, I learned to regulate myself so that no one would take offense at me. The price: numbness. Emptiness. A life that looked good—but didn’t feel like me.

Through MBSR, trauma-informed yoga, bodywork, and breathwork, I reclaimed what I had forgotten: BEING FULLY MYSELF. Not as a performance. But as a fundamental state of being. Today, I guide women exactly there—not toward stillness, but toward the full spectrum of experience. Toward aliveness. Toward what has always been within them.

That is RELAXED & ALIVE.
