While our Awareness Retreat for Burn-Out and Burn-Out Prevention has a fixed three-week structure and a medical
focus, our Balance Retreat is more flexible and a relaxed personal journey to reset your life. Our Balance Retreat
is a choice to simply slow down, reflect, enjoy and find balance in your life, guided by our team and licensed PP
as your personal coach. A journey back to life-quality beyond holiday time and a fresh start towards lasting
change.
Our Balance Retreat is travelling and investing your time differently and sustainably for yourself. A holiday is
not just to relax and then return to the same stressful environment unprepared. The mixture of holiday and
professional coaching in this two-week Retreat is to install deep-rooted change for the return into your daily
life within you, followed by a one-week explorative journey through Namibia.
If our daily life is off-balance, a routine holiday will not bring a lasting change to our health afterwards. It
won't make you feel happier, more recharged or fulfilled in the long term. Do you live a life off-balance or
overloaded by stress, trauma or an unhealthy routine of 11 months a year to feel happy, fulfilled and balanced for
a holiday period of 3 weeks per year?
It is time to reset and rediscover your purpose for your life! How can you implement balance and meaning back into
your daily routine life?
Invest in a healing journey instead of a routine holiday to take actual change for your life from it and not only
time for relaxation. Take this time to relax but also discover a shift in mindset; gain the confidence to
implement the change and learn the strategies to sustain it in your daily life from our
licensed psychologists in your private coaching sessions!
And above all, make a difference. Make a difference by joining this Retreat and investing in a sustainable concept
for a local community, and at the same time, make a difference for yourself by bringing change into your life
longer lasting than just a holiday.
Sandwerf's tranquillity allows you to leave your usual daily environment behind for a noise-free and healing
environment in the African Bush and at the pace of nature.
Experience and re-learn a great sense of community and reactivate the feeling for your rhythm. Our two and
four-legged therapists and teachers will show you how to revitalise your lost intuitive skills. Let us take you on
this journey to your renewed inner health and a meaningful life.
In this Retreat, all sessions are free choice and can be adjusted to personal preferences and personality traits.
You can choose only private sessions and also more time on your own. You can also choose from the different
Workshop sessions according to your liking and do not have to
participate.
