Why I Went to 20 Retreats, Invested 200 Days, and Spent Over €30,000?
“You don’t know yourself by talking to yourself or looking in the mirror.
You know yourself by diving in and experiencing the self.”
— David Lynch
A retreat is a journey. It is more than a vacation.
It is stepping into a completely different world than your everyday roles.
It is an intentional pause.
A laboratory of experience.
A space where perspective shifts and embodiment happens.
When you travel alone, far from what you know, something deeper awakens.
Trust is built.
The mind softens.
The body exhales.
And intuition becomes louder.
My journey began in 2014 with yoga & pilates retreats in Poland.
At that time I was working in IT and culture. My mind and body were running at full speed. The mat became my safe space.
During one retreat I remember thinking:
If 4 days feel this good… what would one month do? I want to go one day to India.
The seed was planted.
In 2016, after my divorce, I went solo to a women’s bioenergetics retreat in Vis, Croatia.
That was a turning point.
Sisterhood. Trusting the unknown.
Something stronger than me woke up.
Life shifted. Unexpectedly I moved to Iceland.
In 2018, everything deepened. I attended 4 retreats in one year. When I returned, I knew I was entering a new path. I went to India for 3 months — Panchakarma detox and Yoga Teacher Training.
A new path opened.
It was the best investment of my life.
And I still live from that investment today.
Since then: Ta**ra retreats, Women’s circles, Goddess journeys in the Greek Islands, yoga in Ibiza and Morocco, Dream journeys in Andalusia, 5Rhythms in La Gomera, ceremonies in Tenerife, ecstatic remembrance in Portugal.
Each one expanded me.
Each one helped me embody who I am and where I am.
Each one taught me how to hold space safely and intuitively.
That is why I do the transformative work.
Creating spaces, experiences and journeys — to remember how powerful we are.
Not from theory.
From lived experience.
~ EXPERIENCING ALL THAT WE ARE ~
If you feel the call, the next Women Intuitive Slow Yoga Retreat is 4–8 March in Tenerife.
Last 3 spots are waiting.
