Ride the Waves

A Journey of Transformation

IN PERSON – 3rd to 7th May 2023

These last years, with the whole world coming to a standstill, brought many of us to a point where we had to reassess many of our life goals and priorities. As the outside world continues to change, it becomes more and more obvious that you have to resort to some inner strengths that maybe you did not even know you have to keep moving forward.

What if you became even more aware of these strengths? And use them more often and more wisely? Like building and fortifying your own inner treasure box that you can then consciously open and pick what you need to thrive, no matter the circumstances?

This is the quest we invite you to join, with this 5-day transformational programme. We are honoured to come together as a team to host this experience in the beautiful mountains of Romania and accompany you in discovering how to take charge of your life – and Ride the Waves that move you onward.

YOU WILL:

revisit and redefine what’s important for you
become more aware of your inner strengths and resources
activate and make better use of your nourishing relationships
create new relationships and tap into a whole new web of support.

Accommodation

The retreat will be in Pestera, near to Bran, with its world famous Dracula Castle. (See MAP)

Pestera itself sits on the top of a ridge and, surrounded on all sides by hills and mountains, is perfect for hiking or simply for slowing down into a more relaxed pace of life. We have selected Pestera for its beauty, tranquility and connection with a more traditional way of life.

We will stay in a local guest house* where the accommodation is comfortable, clean and basic. All rooms are double rooms (most ensuite). Food is home cooked, largely from locally grown sources and will cater for both meat-eaters and vegetarians.

* We may also use a neighbouring a guest house for extra accommodation – we will still all eat and play together.

Cost

There are two parts to the cost:

Training fee: 2,600 RON (€530)

this is payable in RON or Euro when you register.

Accommodation: 1,400 RON (€285)

this is payable in cash in RON at the start of the training. Each room has a double bed and if you are coming with a friend and want to share a room (and bed) there is a discount of 360 RON (€70) per person – please let us know if you wish to do this.
