Summary

You function, get things done, persevere—and increasingly ask yourself: Where do I actually fit in? This retreat is an invitation to pause. Not to "perform" even better, but to reconnect with yourself. Far away from everyday life, on an island that lets you breathe: Madeira.

In a small, mindful group, you will experience how slowing down can give you clarity. Michaela Braam, a systemic coach, will guide you through a week that is more than just a vacation: it is your time for reflection, for change, for conscious being. Because real change does not begin with plans, but with awareness.

The retreat is structured in such a way that you find both structure and freedom. You work with the issues that burden or drive you in everyday life – in coaching sessions that bring you into contact with what really matters. Supported by gentle methods such as breathwork, Yin Yoga, and EFT, you gain access to your inner compass. You recognize what guides you – and how you can make new choices.

The nature of Madeira plays a special role in this. The cool morning air on the cliffs. The vastness of the sky. The moment when you realize: I am back. All of this strengthens your sense of self. Of your boundaries. Of your needs. This retreat is not a break from life – it is an arrival within yourself. And the beginning of a new way of dealing with yourself.

Change begins with awareness. And awareness begins with you. If you feel that it is time to put yourself back in the center, then this coaching vacation in Madeira is your next step toward personal development and a real break. Secure your spot now—for yourself, for your growth, for your life.

Accommodation

Staying at the Coaching House – a retreat with a feel-good factor The Coaching House on Madeira is more than just accommodation – it is a place to arrive, take a deep breath, and simply be.

Your room is lovingly furnished: with a cozy double bed, a private bathroom with shower and toilet, air conditioning for pleasant temperatures, and comfortable seating for retreating or writing. Here you can be completely yourself. In the open-plan living and dining area, you will find space for meeting, exchanging ideas, and enjoying each other's company. The terrace with pool invites you to end the day in the sun or simply gaze at the blue sky. A bright, open kitchen is available for your tea or coffee breaks – whenever you feel like taking a little break. A place of peace, connection – and conscious being.

Catering

Culinary accompaniment for your time out Your retreat week is not only nourishment for the mind—your body will also feel completely at ease. The day begins between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. with a lovingly prepared breakfast buffet. Fresh ingredients, a varied selection, and the opportunity to start the day at your own pace. Whether you prefer sweet, savory, or light, you will find exactly what you need in the morning. Fresh fruit, tea, coffee, and still water are available throughout the day – you decide when you want to refuel.

We make dinner flexible – tailored to the course of the day. Sometimes later after a dream journey, sometimes earlier according to the daily schedule – whatever fits the rhythm of your inner processes. You can look forward to lovingly prepared meals. Here, food is more than just sustenance. It is part of your self-care. An invitation to be there for yourself with mindfulness and enjoyment.

Schedule for your self-care retreat in Madeira Arrival day – Arrival & getting in the mood You will receive a warm welcome. After checking in, we will get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere. During dinner together, we will take a first look at the schedule for the week, share our expectations, and create space for connection.

Day 2 – Orientation & introspection After a relaxed breakfast, we will begin with a first round of reflection. You will discover your personal inner map, immerse yourself in your values, and recognize your first role and stress patterns. In the evening, a guided dream journey will gently lead you into your subconscious. Day 3 – Profile & potential
Today, the focus is on your LINC Personality Profile. We evaluate it together and you recognize your individual strengths, resources, and competencies. A breathing exercise by the sea strengthens your connection to yourself—and to the island. Day 4 – Depth & Transformation We work with your beliefs, question limiting convictions, and discover your personal stimulus-response patterns. You will learn about the EFT method – a powerful technique for emotional self-regulation. Day 5 – Time for yourself This day is all yours. No program, no obligations. You decide what today is about – silence, nature, exercise, or simply being. Day 6 – Clarification & integration
The day begins with a gentle Yin Yoga session. In a deep reflection session, you look at what you want to keep, let go of, or redesign. An inspiring keynote speech gives you new perspectives. Day 7 – Conclusion & Outlook On the last day together, you have time for personal reflection, wishes, and your next steps. You will create a concrete action plan – so that your experiences can have an impact on your everyday life. At the joint conclusion, we will celebrate your journey back to yourself. Day of departure – return with clarity With new clarity, inner peace, and a conscious view of what lies ahead, you will begin your journey home – carried by what has matured within you.
