๐ŸŒฑ Retreats I am a woman transformation catalyst, yoga teacher, Pranic Healer, Neuro-Linguistic-Programming Master practitioner, mother of two beautiful boys, musician, writer... lover of life! I am a river guide for women that are struggling with a harsh inner critic, a sense of misalignment and lack of clarity in their life, to find purpose, a deep sense of inner-power, self-love, presence and more importantly joy. I combine approaches from yoga, meditation, mindfulness, NLP, Pranic healing for which I am trained, certified and have been practicing for more than a decade. After years in the high pace corporate world in the med tech industry, always striving for more, always anxious, travelling a lot, juggling kids, work, travel and life, but never feeling that I was enough as a mom, as a woman and in my work life and overall ... feeling like I lost joy in my life... I made big change and co-created a spacious and fullfilling life that I truly love and enjoy. I am really passionate about redefining what we, women, were conditioned to believe success, beauty and life ought to be! I want to be part of this discussion and shape the future for the next generations! With love and gratitude

We hear a lot about the challenges of getting older, the "dreadful" transition to peri and menopause....

Not a lot of people warn you that you'll start caring less about being liked, and more about being true. That the "who am I" question doesn't stay in your twenties โ€” it comes back, louder, in different clothes.

Nobody tells you that the version of you that got you here might not be the version that gets you where you're going next. And that grieving her a little is allowed.

I didn't expect this decade to feel like a second becoming. But here I am. ๐Ÿค

High-performing women are often surrounded by people โ€” teams, families, clients โ€” and still deeply under-connected. Constant output, very little genuine input.

We mistake being surrounded for being connected. But real connection isn't a Slack or Whatsapp message or a school pickup line. It's a face across from yours with nowhere else to be. A hand on your shoulder. A story told out loud, not typed. A meal shared slowly. A song sung with other voices, not through headphones.

The research on this is not subtle. A landmark analysis by Julianne Holt-Lunstad at Brigham Young University, reviewing 148 studies and over 300,000 people, found that a lack of strong social connection carries a health risk comparable to smoking up to 15 ci******es a day โ€” and a bigger risk than obesity or physical inactivity. A later meta-analysis of 3.4 million people found loneliness raises mortality risk by roughly 26%. The 2023 U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory called this an epidemic of loneliness and isolation, and pointed out something that matters here: it's not just quantity of contact, it's the quality โ€” real, embodied, face-to-face connection โ€” that protects us.

Downtime alone doesn't rebuild what chronic disconnection depletes. Rest helps. But rest without real human contact โ€” touch, shared meals, shared stories, shared song โ€” leaves something unaddressed.

It's one of the reasons I built restorative, in-person elements into the retreat I run for women rebuilding their capacity to lead: shared meals, sacred sharing circles, sound and ceremony, touch. Real connection, not another item on the to-do list.

Being agreeable can feel like a professional asset. Say yes. Absorb the extra task. Smooth things over.

What we don't always realise is how much of our own judgment, alignment, and ideas โ€” some most likely good ones โ€” we quietly override to keep that reputation intact.

I remember, many years ago, saying no to a task my manager reassigned to me โ€” one that had nothing to do with the priorities of my role. I said no firmly, knowing deeply that if it landed on my plate, I'd eventually have to leave that job. It would feel too misaligned and frankly too boring to stay.

I remember the shock a simple "no" caused โ€” criticism from colleagues, from a mentor. The coach in me now knows what I could have been told instead: "well done, for holding your boundary".

It's still striking to me how much society expects women to be agreeable โ€” to say yes, with a smile.

Yet the leaders and the change-makers of this world aren't the most agreeable people in the room. They're the ones who know exactly what they think, and say it. That clarity doesn't happen by accident. It's a skill โ€” and like any skill, it needs space to build, or to reconnect to.

This is exactly what we'll be doing at the SPACE Retreat: 4 days for women rebuilding that kind of internal clarity โ€” the ability to know your own mind again, before you show up to lead anyone else's.

Wrapped up a wonderful session downtown Brisbane with Sydasana Workplace Wellness for day.

20 busy people taking the time learn a few tools and breathing techniques to manage stress and bring a breath of fresh air in their days.

Loved the discussions and seeing the relaxed faces at the end of the session!

To more!

She was "easy" her whole life.

Easy to talk to. Easy to please. Easy to say "sure, no worries!" while something in her quietly closed a door.

She used to think that made her a good person. But somehow it made her a stranger to herself.

Somewhere along the way she stopped asking "what do I want" and started asking "what will make this easier for everyone else."

If that sentence just landed a little too close โ€” I see you. And I built something for exactly this. 4 days where we get you back to knowing what YOU want. ๐Ÿค

Years ago, before committing to a few days away for myself, I had a very ordinary conversation at home: who covers what, who picks up the slack, is this a good use of the time.

I noticed how much harder this felt to ask for than it would have for a business trip. A business trip is just logistics โ€” you sort the calendar and go. This required something else. I had to make the case for myself. Not because my husband would push back โ€” he's always been supportive of my choices โ€” but because of the guilt underneath it. The kids needed me. He needed me. There was work. There was the money invested.

That's a pattern I see constantly in the women I coach: investing in their own development, their own wellbeing, gets treated as optional. Discretionary. "If there's time left over." It rarely is left over. It has to be claimed. It is needed. It is a priority.

If you've been putting off blocking time for your own growth, consider this the nudge.

I am sharing this with her permission and with a lot of tenderness.

๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ.

Not just tired โ€” depleted. The kind of exhausted that lives in your bones, your voice, the way you hold your shoulders. She'd been giving and giving for so long that she'd forgotten what it felt like to receive anything back. Her passion for her work, her relationships, even her own life had gone quiet, dimmed. Buried under years of "I'm fine" and "I'll deal with it later."

Something happens when you give a woman moments of nature, stillness, and permission. Somewhere between the sunrise yoga and the fire ceremony, between the sacred sharing circle and the quiet of the land โ€” something in her started to soften. Then she started to move differently, laugh differently, cry the kind of tears that release rather than break.

When she left, she wasn't the same woman who'd arrived. Her voice had come back. Not louder โ€” truer. She said to herself: "I remember who I am now. I can do this! I can do this thing called life. I can lead the life and work I want. I can do this!โ€

And that wasn't just a retreat moment. She carried it home with her.

Weeks later, her passion for life had returned โ€” not just in quiet, personal ways, but in her work too. The spark she thought she'd lost forever came back louder than before. These days, she'll tell you herself: "Life is amazing right now!"

That's what this retreat does. It's not a holiday. It's not an escape. It's a return โ€” to your body, your fire, your voice, the parts of you that got quietly set aside while you were busy holding everything else together.

This is why the SPACE Retreat exists. Four days. One sacred circle of women. A hinterland that holds you while you remember yourself.

If you're the woman who's been giving everything to everyone else and quietly wondering when it'll be your turn โ€” this might be it. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Part of me is a firecracker, true to my boundary and my essence. Part of me is still a people pleaser โ€” saying yes when I want to say no, and no when I want to say yes. ("Last piece of cake, Dorothee?" "Oh no, thank you!") I'm learning to hold both parts with love.

I've quit, or said no to, jobs, relationships, friendships, bands โ€” when I felt misaligned. I've also said yes to time for myself, to rest, to investing in me and my business, even when some called it selfish.

But I've also shaved my legs when I didn't want to, because โ€” what would people think? Said yes to dating men I wasn't really into. Said yes to classes and jobs I didn't want. Just to avoid someone's disappointment.

Here's what I've learned: ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ-๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜.

Two days ago we lost a woman who changed what it means to be a woman in this world.

๐—š๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฎ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—บ passed away on September 2nd, at 92 years old, after more than six decades of fighting for us.

I want to take a moment to say thank you.

Thank you for giving women a mainstream voice at a time when we barely had one.

Thank you for standing on stages, in courtrooms, and in the streets โ€” fighting for reproductive rights, equal pay, and the simple, radical idea that a woman's life belongs to her.

Thank you for saying "the truth will set you free, but first it will p**s you off" โ€” and living that truth out loud, every single day, well into her 90s.

Because of Gloria, doors opened that so many of us walk through without even noticing they were ever closed.

Thank you, Gloria โ€” because of your work, we can open our own bank accounts and get credit in our own names.

Thank you โ€” because of your work, we can decide if and when we become mothers.

Because of women like Gloria, "feminist" became a word we could say proudly, out loud, without apology.

And yet today, some women feel disconnected from that word โ€” from the work itself โ€” because they don't know everything it took to build the world we now live in. A world that is still, honestly, not perfect yet.

So let's be clear about what feminism actually is: it is not about hating men. It has nothing to do with hate, or taking power over anyone. It is about equal rights, equal safety, and equal opportunities for women. It is simply a rebalance โ€” making the world fairer for everyone.

That's why everyone ought to be a feminist. ๐ŸŒ

And it's because of women like Gloria โ€” her courage, her heart, her mission โ€” that we've come this far, with so much still ahead of us.

She didn't just talk about women's power โ€” she showed us how to use ours. โœจ

Not the version who's managing the household, the job, the kids, everyone's needs but your own. I mean the version who has a voice. Who has fire. Who remembers what she actually wants, not just what's expected of her.

Somewhere in the doing-doing-doing, so many of us quietly lose touch with that woman. And most days, we don't even notice she's gone โ€” we're too busy holding everything together to feel the absence.
I'm curious โ€” is there a part of yourself you feel like you've set aside lately? What would it take to meet her again?

(There's an ebooklet I made for exactly this โ€” a gentle reminder that you're worthy of love just as you are, and a way back from the harsh inner critic into deep inner awareness and stable inner love. If you ever want a copy, just say the word ๐Ÿค)
