Are you in the middle of life and still feel lost?
Something inside you can't find peace despite all you've achieved on the outside? Your stable life suddenly feels stagnant and empty and you often ask yourself "Is that it now?" or "Should it go on like this for the next few decades? And if not like this, then how?"
Then welcome to the middle of life! With or without a crisis, this time on the threshold between emerging youth and transient old age is special, brings about change and raises many questions within us. We are no longer dewy-eyed but not yet stone-cold either.
The familiar, uplifting, determined and dynamic phase of youth is no longer in focus, but the senior plate is still a long way off.
Somehow unstable and lost between two worlds.
We often behave like teenagers again, experience separation and loss, try things out, find ourselves anew, search for the meaning of life in Bali or India, start a second educational path or withdraw from life for a short time. Motorcycling, young lovers and new haircuts are suddenly no longer clichés. And then, quietly and secretly, there are suddenly reading glasses and we discover more and more gray hair and wrinkles in the mirror.
But instead of a crisis, the midlife crisis can also be an invitation to transformation. We can understand the restlessness as a wake-up call from the soul to pause for a moment between what has been and what is yet to come. And this is exactly where you can meet yourself and listen to your inner voice. Whether you have been honest with yourself on your path so far, or whether you have lived too much on the outside and ignored yourself, not lived authentically.
The well-known psychiatrist C.G. Jung recognized that the first half of life serves the formation of the ego and the second half serves an improved ego-self relationship.
And that is exactly what this retreat is designed for: to strengthen your relationship with yourself and become aware of your inner world and life dreams.
Surrounded by nature, carried by silence and supported by psychological guidance, you will find a space for clarity and reorientation.
I (of course 40+ 😅) will accompany you in 1:1 coaching with your biography work. You will look forward but also back at your personal hero's journey, what you have already experienced and achieved. We will also focus on your inner parts (inner team/inner family) and look at your conscious and unconscious dreams and needs. You can appreciate your talents, strengths, life treasures and resources. See what makes you flourish, when you are in flow and get to the bottom of your limitations and blockages. You reassess your values and your why in life, what mission you are on, what your medicine for the world is and what should be on your tombstone.
We look at your big5, your most important peaks that you still want to climb and your personal Großglockner, the challenge in life that you may not have dared to realize until now.
All this in the midst of lush nature and, if you like, we can also implement the individual themes and stages as part of a hike or create a small nature ritual together for your symbolic transition.
What are you waiting for? Get ready for the exciting second half of your life! ✨️
Please note:
In addition to my psychological expertise, I am also happy to accompany you with shamanic energy work and nature rituals.
There would be time and space for this on the evening of your 2nd retreat day if you would like a larger ritual and are open to it.
In this retreat e.g. "death" ritual of old identities, threshold ritual, rebirth ritual, fire ritual, vision fire, drum journey etc. can be powerful additions.
