See our event hosting section for details.

WIT ‘n Wisdom Retreats for Women

Considered an integral part of our You Go Girl! program, the WIT ‘n Wisdom Retreat series is designed to assist women as they make their way through predictable, and not so predictable, life events. Whether you have just changed neighborhoods or moved to a new country, put children in school or graduated them out of the house, started a new job or left a career, just begun a relationship or ended one…WIT ‘n Wisdom is for you. If you’ve lost your groove…or aren’t sure you ever had one…or look in the mirror and can’t remember what you are passionate about anymore, WIT ‘n Wisdom can be your path to greater vitality and a renewed zest for life.
A woman’s life is full of responsibility and transition. You are expected to go with the flow…often with no real sense of where you will end up downstream. It’s an easier journey with the right tools in your life’s toolbox and the support of a caring community. The WIT ‘n Wisdom Retreats can give you both…strategies and actions plans for attacking the trouble spots and a group of women who understand what you are going through.
Each of the two retreats in the program are long weekend sessions (Wednesday night – Sunday noon). You will share your stories, find new ways to manage old stresses, and exchange wisdom with other women. You will laugh a lot, cry some, have a few adventures, and make new, lasting friendships in a caring, supportive community. Trained life coaches will work with you before, between, and after the retreats.
As a result of your participation in the WIT ‘n Wisdom Retreat Series, you will find the support of a community, identify your core values, reassess your priorities, strengthen your self-confidence, rekindle your passion, reclaim your personal freedom, and create an exciting vision for your future.

Sample Program Session Topics Include:

  • Let the Real You Stand Up
  • Evict the Victim
  • Find Strength at the Intersection of Sacred and Scared
  • Find Joy in the Unexpected
  • Hold Your Values AND Shift your Priorities
  • Go with the Flow without Drowning in the Process
  • Re-Position in the Midst of Your Transition

The fully catered WIT ‘n Wisdom Package price includes the program, all materials, and personal coaching before, during, and after the retreats.
Retreat registration is limited to 20 participants.
The total cost of the 2-retreat series is only 850€/person.

Super Bring-a-Buddy Discounts! Bring and room with a friend and take 100€ off the total price of each registration.

Le Lauvitel Leadership Retreat

Taking time out to engage in personal training in such difficult times is not an obvious choice. Yet it is precisely in this economic environment that leading from a place of inner strength, with insight and creativity, is of the greatest value.
The Lauvitel Leadership Retreat offers an innovative and inspirational opportunity to develop leaders’ creativity, self-knowledge and relationship skills as the fundamental building blocks of powerful leadership. Through this experience leaders will develop the humility, the inner strength and the wisdom that they need to lead their organisations today. This leadership training focuses on discovering hidden strengths, flourishing in difficult relationships and understanding how our own expectations and actions impact our organisations. We expect leaders graduating from this course to be able to engage, motivate and guide their people to achieve extraordinary success in difficult circumstance.

Our requirements of you:

  • You believe that self-knowledge is fundamental to extraordinary leadership
  • You are willing to engage fully in experiential learning that is challenging and enlightening
  • You want sustainable changes to be created in your organisation

Your take-homes from us:

  • A realisation of your actual and potential impact on others
  • The ability to name the invisible norms, fears and passions within your organisation that constrain or facilitate development
  • A deeper understanding of your own creativity and practical tools to lead change in your organisation

The foundation training week ‘Establishing Your Inner Authority’ delivers core skills that can immediately help leaders to make a big difference AND is the basis for developing further skills in two subsequent training weeks.
Week 1: Establishing Your Inner Authority
Working life is messy. It inevitably involves friction and uncertainty as unexpected events and competing visions vie for your attention. As the leader, your ability to remain centred, at once holding to your vision and being able to understand others – will impact the process and outcome of developments in your organisation. In ‘Establishing your inner authority’ your learning will focus on accepting who you are and trusting your intuition; establishing authentic relationships with others as a leader in your organisation; and recognising the constraints and freedoms within the organisation that facilitate or limit its capacity for transformation or adaptation. Through a combination of experiential learning and reflective space you will ground your development at a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.
Retreat registration is limited to 12 participants.
The total cost of the retreat (excluding travel) is € 995 per person.
For two or more people booking at the same time there is a reduction of € 150 per person.
For any further assistance please contact us directly.

Spiritual Renewal Retreats

We set aside two weeks each year to host Spiritual Renewal Retreats for individuals and couples. (This is an adult-only event.) A member of the ecumenical spiritual community will be employed to act as a spiritual mentor at each retreat. The participants in each retreat will represent an international range of cultures and spiritual traditions.

The Spiritual Renewal Retreats Weeks are organized to allow each participant to be immersed in her/his own personal reflections and spiritual path while having access to conversations and dialogues with a spiritual mentor and fellow- participants. We will take care of the meals and other hospitality services to insure you can give total focus and energy to your spiritual work. Tai Chi morning practice and group coaching sessions are included in the package. Reiki sessions and individual coaching can be added.

The fully catered Spiritual Renewal Retreat Package price includes programs offered by the spiritual mentor and our full board package (link to end info). Spiritual Renewal Retreat Weeks are limited to 20 participants. The cost of each retreat is 550€/person. (Discounts for buddies and partners are available.)
