What others are saying

"The young wise women retreat was a very nice and educational experience. Full of exercises but also room for your own ideas. Ella and Wineke's guidance is professional and clear, where both body and mind are addressed. I got so much inspiration and wisdom from their exercises and ideas, but also from the stories of other participants. Don't mind if you don't come to this weekend with a specific learning question, think of it as an annual 'MOT' of your mental health. Very valuable!"

"Ella and Wineke's retreat was an incredibly nice and meaningful weekend for me. Through assignments and connecting conversations, I gained much clarity and insight into my needs and talents in a safe and peaceful setting. We were in the middle of nature and everything was taken care of for us. Besides enjoying being with the other girls in the group, I learned a lot that I can apply in choices for myself and in my work."

"I have no words for it other than 'really great'! Despite not knowing the other girls beforehand, it felt so familiar and so warm almost immediately. I felt that everyone could be completely themselves and there was a very safe environment to be vulnerable. Both Ella and Wineke are both wonderful women who gave me new insights that I still apply today. How well you complement each other! And all that in a beautiful setting in nature. I could not have wished for more. Incredibly grateful for this unforgettable experience."

"A weekend where you can quietly reflect on your life and gain new insights about yourself, supported by other beautiful women. As young women we were able to learn from each other and help each other. Gained incredibly beautiful and valuable insights!"

Say goodbye to your "please" behavior, constantly adjusting yourself and having to meet standards and expectations. Say goodbye to bullshit jobs, FOMO and the risk of burnout.

- And make you happy again!

The Program

Day 1

On Fridays, starting at 5:30 p.m., we welcome you!

We'll start at 6 p.m. with, among other things, getting to know the other women. Then we will discuss the findings from your Motivation factor test and there will be plenty of room to ask questions.

After dinner, there will be time for a short walk or rest. You will discover who you really are and end the evening with a sharing session, moments of reflection and a relaxing breathing session for a wonderful night's sleep.

Day 2

At 8:15 a.m. we start with a yoga session or other physical activity. Then we will have a nice breakfast.

The first morning we will work on your desires; business and personal. After all, without desires there is no direction. And you will learn how to deal with doubt and how to make clear choices.
After a super healthy and tasty lunch, you will mentally and physically release your limiting beliefs and blockages that stand in the way of your desires.

There is also room this afternoon for 1-on-1 coaching, moments of reflection and rest.
After dinner, we will close the evening with a sharing session outside by the fire.

Day 3

At 8:30 a.m. we again start with a physical activity. This can be yoga, a walk in beautiful nature or energetic body work. Afterwards you will enjoy a delicious fresh breakfast.

This morning you are going to let go even more of what doesn't serve you, so that you come even more into your power. And you'll work with the Motivation factor workbook to discover your pitfalls, energy drains and energy contributors.
After a top-notch lunch, you'll be ready to start manifesting your desire in a guided session (physical, mental and emotional).

Around 4 p.m., we'll wrap up with a cool "game" that will bring you energy, confidence and focus.
So by 5 p.m., you'll be able to go home relaxed, happy, full of inspiration and with concrete tools to thrive professionally and privately.
