Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed and discouraged? Not sure where to turn next or what to spend your time and energy on? Join me for four days of transformational coaching and training in Southern Spain and gain clarity you can use now and in the far future.
Choosing what is right for you can be an all consuming activity. Maybe you are tossing in your bed at night trying to figure out what you should do. Let me tell you one thing: analyzing the issue and listing all the pros and the cons to wrestle yourself into a decision is not your best option. Taking a deep dive under the surface of your emotions, thoughts and habits is. There’s no better guidance than your own inner knowing.
Allow yourself to experience a clear sense of direction, more time to breathe and peace of mind. You can relax, as you know that you are taking the right actions.
What will The Clarity Retreat be like?
First of all, you are really going to enjoy yourself. After all it is a retreat. You will be staying at the beautiful Sammati Wellness Finca of Janneke and Jose Manuel Vera. You’ll stay in your own private room. Your meals will be cooked from the biological veggies from the finca. During breaks, you can go for a beautiful walk in nature, take a refreshing dive in the swimming pool or do a little nap.
The main component of The Clarity Retreat of course is the transformative work we will be doing together. As old structures in our society aren’t serving us anymore, it is time for us to start doing things in a radically different way. I call this the transition from the rational perspective towards a more holistic approach. I believe that it is by reconnecting ourselves to the wisdom of our bodies that we can heal ourselves and start experiencing the flow again. Together we will find the courage in ourselves to make this transition.
The Clarity Retreat is a small group program with maximum six participants, which leaves us with plenty of room for individual support and assistance. All participants are dedicated professional men and women who desire to find and follow their own track and who are willing to support one another in the process.
The program
The program will start on Thursday at 8.00pm with an evening session, until 10.00pm. Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be full training days that each follow the same schedule. In the morning there will be a group session from 9.30am until 1.00pm, followed by lunch.
In the afternoon between 3.00pm and 5.00pm I will be making myself available for one-on-one coaching at no additional cost. You can either opt for one of these complementary coaching spots, or work on the assignments from your retreat workbook. Or you can take a dip in the pool, which is also an option. From 5.30pm until 6.30pm we’ll wrap up the day with a group session in which I will open the floor for sharing insights, Q&A and further assistance. Dinner is served at 7.00pm.
For those of you who like to start their day with a clear mind: on Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning you are very welcome to join me in the studio at 6.30am for an early morning meditation.
Five transformative modules
Module 1: Your time is pure gold
If you want to start making decisions from your heart, you need to be very conscious about how you spend your time. Your time is your most important resource, but is seldomly treated accordingly. Within module one you will discover:
-the value of spending time alone and how to spend it for best results;
-how to become a master of your own time.
Module 2: Becoming friends with your body
Your body is the short cut to information that is crucial for your path. In order to gain access to this inner knowing, you start a so-called love affair with your body. Within this module you will learn:
-to come to terms with how you’ve treated your body in the past;
-three techniques to protect your body from external influences;
-how to be present with others without losing your energy.
Module 3: Stuff that is holding you back
You – like everybody else – have inner obstacles that make you feel ‘stuck’ or moving forward at a very slow pace. Some of these negative thought patterns and behaviors are hidden under the surface, without you being conscious of them. During this module you will learn:
-two different approaches to deal with fear and self sabotage;
-the Focusing Way which allows for internal blocks to turn into something new and alive.
Module 4: Discover your inner compass
Your body is your best advisor. An advisor that you always have handy and is way faster and more accurate than your mind. In this module you will discover:
-the difference in your body between ‘this is right’ and ‘this isn’t right’;
-how to choose between two options based on body feedback.
Module 5: Make a 10-degree change
Moving forward in your professional life and experiencing fulfillment is not about knowing every single step that is ahead of you. It is about being willing to discover what is next and doing that over and over again. Within this module you will learn:
-how to stay confident about the step you know you have to take, even if your mind screams: ‘Help, I don’t know what I’m doing!’;
-how to provide yourself with a supportive mindset so that you will keep making progress;
-your very first step that will definitely open new doors for you.
This is where you will be staying
You will stay at the Sammati Wellness Finca, located on a hill top just outside Pilar de la Horadada in Spain. The finca is situated in an orange orchard and has magnificent views inland. It has easy access to hiking and a fine swimming pool. Janneke and Jose Manuel Vera are warm and welcoming hosts. I expect you’ll easily feel at home.
