THE CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP RETREAT

Four days that change the state. Four months that make it stay.

Four days that change the state. Four months that make it stay.

Eleven to twelve positive impact leaders, one cohort, built with you rather than sold to you. No slides and no theory: everything is practice on your own material, measured at the start and again at the end. 5,950€, single room and full board included.

WHY A COHORT, NOT A CALL?

Two cohorts, two places. One near Hamburg, in German. One near London, in English. Both start in Q1 2027, and the waitlist decides which one fills first.

What a room does that a call cannot.

One to one goes as deep as you can go on your own pattern, at your own pace. It has one limit that no amount of depth fixes: there is nobody else there.

People who answer back. Boundaries, conflict, saying the real thing. You cannot practise those in your own head, and you cannot practise them on me alone. You need ten other leaders carrying the same weight, close enough to tell you how you actually land.

Four days without a stop. An hour here and there means re-opening the same thing every time. Four uninterrupted days mean it stays open, and the work goes where it was already heading.

WHO YOU'RE WORKING WITH

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS AT THE RETREAT?

Four days. Two themes. The whole process, twice.

Four days. Two themes. The whole process, twice.

No slides, no theory. Everything is practice, on your own material. Three days take you through all five capacities on one theme. The fourth runs them again on a second one, with the levers the first run did not use.

01

Thursday. Where you actually are.

You arrive after lunch. Your QEEG was done at home weeks ago, so your baseline is on the table before you say a word. From 15:00 we work the first step together: what you actually want, where you are stuck, and how long you have been stuck there. You leave that room with the one thing the next two days are about. Then dinner. Then a quieter block on the nervous system, breath, HRV and your own regeneration protocol, so you go into Friday settled. It is the one capacity that keeps working while you sleep.

Friday. Underneath the explanation.

The morning is yours. Sleep, run, swim, eat slowly, and no, that is not a gap in the programme. From 10:00 we work the mind. Not arguing with the thought, working the pattern where it actually sits, which is older than any explanation you have for it. After lunch, the body: fascial maneuvers and stress release, so what has been held for years finally gets to leave. This is the block nobody expects and everybody talks about afterwards. Evening off.

Saturday. What was never damaged.

Morning free again. From 10:00 we go underneath the pattern, to the part of you that was never damaged in the first place, and stay there long enough that you can find it again on your own. After lunch it goes into the room: one real situation from your own life, worked with the people who have watched you for two days and will say the true thing. That closes your first theme. Evening off.

Sunday. Again, and then on your own.

All five capacities in one day, on a second theme. Private or professional, your call. Nothing new is taught and nothing is repeated: every capacity has three levers, and this run uses the ones the first one left. A process that took two days now takes one, because you already know the moves. The last hour is how this holds for the next four months. Then you go home.

THE FOUR MONTHS

What happens after you leave.

Four days end the retreat, not the programme. What you built on site now meets your actual weeks, one month at a time, with the same cohort and the same data.

Month 01

Under real pressure. What held from the retreat and what did not, measured against your own baseline.

Month 02

The pattern comes back. It always does. This is where you learn to meet it instead of managing it, on live cases from the group.

Month 03

The people around you. Your team notices the shift before you do. We work the relational field with situations from your actual month.

Month 04

What you keep. Final QEEG, HRV and neurobiology against your day one baseline, plus the practice and the people you walk out with.

Every Month Includes.

One 2-hour cohort session with all 10 to 15 leaders, plus one 90-minute buddy group of four, scheduled freely. Unlimited QEEG scans and Myndlift neurofeedback throughout.

IS THIS YOURS?

Two lists, so you can rule yourself out.

Eleven to twelve seats. It matters more to me that the right people are in them than that they are full.
Future Conscious Leaders

Who this is for

  • You have already optimised what you do. What is left is who is doing it.
  • You have done the classic leadership training. This starts one level below it, at the operating system those skills run on under pressure.
  • You want real talk about your purpose, with the inner work that goes with it.
  • You are not in crisis. You want freedom, peace and flow that hold when things get hard.
Quick-Fixes only

Who this isn't for

  • You want a longevity or biohacking assessment and nothing past the data. Different aim: we measure to go deeper, not to optimise you into a better machine.
  • You want goal-setting, strategy or communication skills. That work matters, and it is not this.
  • You want philosophy and contemplation on their own, no practice, no measurement. Same depth here, made practical.
  • You want a quick tactical fix, or you are in an acute crisis. Tell me, and I will point you somewhere better.

Questions worth asking

STILL WONDERING?

What if the cohort does not happen?

What if the cohort does not happen?

Then nothing is charged. The waitlist is free and non-binding. Once a location and a date are fixed, you decide again, with the actual dates in front of you. If the cohort does not fill, it does not run and you pay nothing.

Are accommodation and food included?

Are accommodation and food included?

Yes. A single room and full board for all four days are part of the price. You book your travel, nothing else.

Who else is in the room?

Who else is in the room?

Eleven to twelve leaders who carry responsibility for something they actually care about. Different industries on purpose. I select the cohort in a call with each person beforehand, so nobody walks into a room they do not fit.

Do I have to share personal things in front of the group?

Do I have to share personal things in front of the group?

You choose what you bring, every time. The work is on your own material, and how much of it becomes visible is your call. Nothing leaves the room, and that is a rule, not a hope.

How much time does it take after the retreat?

How much time does it take after the retreat?

Three hours a month, in two live sessions, plus a short daily practice with your neurofeedback headset. That is the whole commitment. If your month does not have three hours in it, this is not the right format, and I would rather you knew that now.

Do I need to be there for all four days?

Do I need to be there for all four days?

Yes. The four days run as one process, and the second run on Sunday only works because the first one happened. Arriving late or leaving early takes the format apart.

Therapy isn’t just for crises. It’s for anyone curious about growth, clarity, or navigating life’s changes with more support and self-awareness.

Progress doesn’t always feel like progress. Sometimes it’s showing up. Sometimes it’s pausing. But each moment of awareness becomes part of the path forward — and you don’t have to walk it alone.

Is this therapy?

Is this therapy?

No, this is Leadership Coaching. I draw on methods with real roots in clinical psychology and contemplative traditions, because they work. The difference isn’t the method, it’s the starting point: clinical work is for people who can’t get through their days without help. This is for people who already run their life well, but sense there’s more in themselves still waiting to be explored, transformed, and embodied. If you’re in acute crisis right now, tell me, and I’ll point you to the right support instead.

Questions worth asking

STILL WONDERING?

Is this online or on-site?

Is this online or on-site?

Both work. The Nervous System Reading runs online, sixty minutes: a brain scan of your nervous system as it is right now, the anatomy of the psyche walked through on your own example, and a first piece of coaching on something concrete. Neuro Coaching also runs from home. I send you the neurofeedback device and we set it up together, then it runs without appointments. Deep Coaching can run online too, but I recommend doing it in person at my practice in Hamburg, where I read how your body actually releases tension far better face to face. I'll send you the address once we talk.

Do I need to be spiritual?

Do I need to be spiritual?

No. This is grounded in neuroscience and psychology. No belief required, only curiosity about what you'll find. If you already have a contemplative or spiritual practice, there's real room for it here too, just applied, not just contemplated.

Why can't I just book a normal leadership coach, or ask HR?

Why can't I just book a normal leadership coach, or ask HR?

Of course, and a good leadership coach genuinely helps. Most leadership coaching is content-based, better frameworks, better skills, better at what you already do. This is context-based: it works on the capacity you lead from, so those skills hold under real pressure instead of collapsing, measured with QEEG and neurofeedback so you can see the shift, not just hope you feel it.

How much time does it take?

How much time does it take?

Two hours a month, plus a single small practice between sessions. Never three. Built for people who do not have spare hours.

What happens to my health data?

What happens to my health data?

Your QEEG and neurofeedback data lives on Myndlift, the platform used by neurofeedback clinics worldwide. It sits in your own account in the Myndlift app, and I see it as your coach through the Myndlift practitioner dashboard. Myndlift processes data in Israel, a jurisdiction the European Commission recognizes as offering adequate data protection under GDPR, and you can access, export, or request deletion at any time. Never sold, never shared beyond you and me without your consent. [3]

Can I expense this through my company?

Can I expense this through my company?

Sure, some clients do, others pay for this personally, the way they would invest in any high-leverage part of their development. If you want help framing the business case, we can talk about that on the call.

Why not just do neurofeedback on its own?

Why not just do neurofeedback on its own?

You can, and it costs around 350€ a month. What it will not do is tell you which pattern the data belongs to. Neurofeedback regulates your nervous system. It does not reach the need underneath the pattern that keeps activating it. Together they work: the session transforms the root, the training gives your system the stability to let the change settle, and the data shows whether it held. Across roughly thirteen weeks of consistent training, the neurofeedback research alone reports meaningful shifts in stress, anxiety and sustained attention. That is one of six capacities here, and it is why the Intensive runs four months and not one.
