WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN THE
RE-CONNECT RETREAT
Gift yourself a wholistic and integrated experience where you can just be. We know of the challenges of living a nomadic life - so let us take over the organisation for once and take the opportunity to simply focus on your needs. Our program is an extensive offer, intended for you to pick and choose what serves you. We always encourage you to take space and integration time for yourself as needed - nothing is obligatory :)
In our mastermind workshops and community sessions, participants engage in mutual learning and uncover collaboration opportunities within our carefully curated group. We facilitate the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and skills, fostering a valuable network of like-minded individuals.
Nestled in the scenic beauty of Sardinian nature, our coliving experience encourages immersion in the natural rhythms and cycles. The soothing sounds of the sea and the whispers of the trees provide a backdrop for inspiration.
During our hikes and excursions we explore the island and show you amazing spots that leave you with awe. Our local hosts prepare weekday breakfasts, and our community gathers for a weekly Family Dinner. Evenings organically bring the group together, fostering the sharing of favorite recipes.

Experience Kick-Off & Community Sharing
CONCEPT
We make use of the potential of our carefully selected group of participants. Using mastermind principles and holding space for profound personal & professional development and creation of new ideas. During the experience we dedicate time to self-discovery, embodiment and impact, all based on co-creation principles. To make the most of the retreat, we welcome contribution and participation in community activities, but are fully supportive for everyone to take space as needed.
CO-CREATION
Leave the busyness of cities and travel behind and be fully present. We invite you to join us for mindfulness practices, workouts and activities in nature, to be aware of the beauty of this island and to remind ourselves to respect and care for our planet. We practice mindful and harmonious connection with nature and encourage to re-think use of natural resources. You will soon feel the effect of energies and natural rhythm of the earth, leaving you grounded and rooted.
NATURE CONNECTEDNESS
We connect over food to the local culture and to the fruits of the land. Discover the endless flavours of Italian cuisine. We get our seasonal and organic veggies and fruits directly from the farms of the region and prepare vegetarian (optional: vegan) nourishing food for body and soul. For an authentic experience, we share our insights and hidden gems of the Island. We build bridges between digital and local communities, by integrating rather than isolating ourselves.

We are an active group that loves the outdoors. You can learn how to climb and explore the island from a different angle. Our location has direct access to the breathtaking beaches and wild beauty of the Island.
