Imagine,

and in harmony with yourself.

…, you let go of old burdens, free yourself from everything that holds you back,
and open yourself up to new paths that take you further and do not limit you.
When was the last time you really took time just for yourself – for your body, your mind, your soul?
A whole weekend just for your well-being?
For many women, this is an idea that lies outside their comfort zone.
Taking time just for yourself, investing time, energy and resources feels selfish…

then NOW is the right moment for a retreat like this.
Make yourself a priority instead of always putting yourself on the back burner.
Recharge your energy and reconnect deeply with yourself .

and inner strength.

It’s time to
listen to your needs,
respect your boundaries,
listen to your inner voice
and put your well-being first.
This retreat offers you the space to let go of everything that no longer serves you,
and to look ahead full of love and self-confidence.

Fire ceremony
The fire ceremony is a powerful ritual that has been used for centuries for transformation and renewal. Fire symbolizes purification and the ability to let go of the old to create space for the new. During the ceremony, you are invited to say goodbye to old patterns, blockages or emotions by symbolically placing something into the fire that no longer supports you. This process helps you to shed emotional burdens and make space for fresh energy and new possibilities.
The ritual begins with an attunement in which you formulate your intentions and focus on the power of fire. In a circle of women, a safe and powerful space is created in which you can deeply feel the transformative energy of the fire. This ceremony will support you in letting go internally, realigning yourself and moving forward with clarity and renewal. The fire becomes a symbol of your inner cleansing and helps you to continue on your path with more ease and strength.
Workshop “Inner Child & Embodied Empowerment“
This interactive workshop offers you the opportunity to build a deeper connection to your inner child and strengthen your self-confidence. Through targeted exercises and reflections, you will learn to better understand your own boundaries and needs and to communicate clearly.
In a safe space, you can release emotional blockages, leave old patterns behind and open up to more self-confidence and inner strength. Elements such as movement, mindfulness and bodywork help you to develop your full potential and express yourself more authentically. .
Meet your inner child
Working with your inner child is a profound process that takes you on a journey of self-knowledge and healing. In this workshop you will learn how your childhood experiences still influence your behavior and emotional responses today. Many of our deepest behavioral patterns are rooted in childhood experiences, and by recognizing and understanding these patterns, you can consciously change them and experience healing.
With guided meditations, creative exercises and deep reflections, you will get in touch with your inner child and heal old wounds. The workshop offers you tools to integrate your inner child into everyday life, leading to more compassion, peace and freedom in your life. This work is essential for personal healing and helps you to break old patterns and connect with yourself in a new, loving way.
Breathwork
Breathwork is a powerful method for experiencing deep emotional and physical healing. Through targeted breathing techniques and accompanying music, you will be guided into a state of deep relaxation and spiritual connection. This transformative breathwork helps you to release emotional blockages, free suppressed feelings and gain new perspectives on your life.
In this intensive session, you will use your breath as a tool for self-healing and inner transformation. During the Breathwork session, you can experience emotional breakthroughs that allow you to recognize and release deep-seated patterns. It is a physical and emotional journey that connects you to your innermost being and helps you find inner peace and clarity. Breathwork requires dedication, but the transformative power you experience through it will sustain you.
Cocoa ceremony
The cacao ceremony is an ancient ritual used as heart medicine in indigenous cultures. Cacao opens the heart, promotes joy, unconditional love and supports mental and emotional healing. In this ceremony, you will enjoy cacao in a safe circle of women, giving you space to connect with your inner self and nature.
Cocoa has a nourishing effect on a physical level and helps to restore emotional balance. In the community of women, you will experience the magic of togetherness and the transformative power that arises when women come together. This ceremony invites you to connect with the spiritual power of cacao and experience yourself on a deeper level. It is a heart opening ritual that helps you to integrate joy, peace and harmony into your life.
Each of these program points offers a unique opportunity to develop yourself on a physical, emotional and spiritual level and to experience profound healing.

12-week 1:1 coaching program and retreat in the final
Are you ready to go deeper and make 2026 your year of inner strength?
Discover personal growth, change habits, overcome limiting beliefs and develop new convictions. Learn to put yourself first and experience the power of meditation and manifestation for your vision of the future.
Many women experience insecurity when interacting with other people. Too often they only ever put the needs of others first, often at the expense of their own wellbeing. The pressure that many women are under these days is enormous. There is a preconceived image of what a “woman” should look like and be like. This leads to tension in our own bodies. Our bodies find different ways to deal with this tension. Some reach for food, lose themselves in endless to-do lists or exercise excessively. But constantly wanting to please is also a kind of survival mechanism – doing everything for others and not being able to say no.
It’s time to unleash your full power, be authentic and live your full potential.
Make 2026 YOUR year of transformation to live your authentic self in its full power. Because you are worth it.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity by completing the coaching program with a final retreat – the grand finale after the intensive 12 weeks.

About Grace, the retreat leader
I am Grace – experienced mind-body eating coach and mentor – and this retreat is my heart’s mission. My own journey of self-love and self-acceptance has taken me through many ups and downs. In the process, I discovered and studied valuable techniques that have changed my life – and that’s exactly what I want to share with you now.
In my youth, I suffered from an eating disorder that not only had a major impact on my relationship with food and my body, but also on my self-confidence and self-worth. It has been a long journey, but today I stand here – with a deep understanding of healing, growth and inner strength.
With several years of experience in personal guidance through 1:1 coaching, retreats and ceremonies, I support women in finding themselves again. As a certified mind-body-eating coach, yoga and meditation teacher, I also lead cacao ceremonies and breathwork sessions – all with the aim of accompanying you on your path to more self-love and inner strength.
My greatest concern is to encourage you to stand up for yourself, to recognize your self-worth and to devote yourself full of love and trust to your own path.
Let other women convince you
I am so incredibly grateful that my path led me to Grace, the wonderful women with whom I was able to spend this weekend, and to the Winklergut. There is something so magical and healing about this place, which made it feel even more intense to experience the various workshops focused on connecting with oneself, one’s inner self, and others. Mindfulness exercises, lots of great conversations, laughing, crying, dancing, shouting together, lots of yoga – a fire ceremony and a cocoa ceremony were also part of the program. It felt so good to remember to see the I and also the WE, to encourage each other and to live together in our strengths and weaknesses. Not having to hide your true self. Thank you, Grace, you are such an inspiring person. Your special energy, your down-to-earth, open, and honestly authentic nature gave me so much courage. To trust myself even more, to be myself, and to share that with the world. You shine so brightly from the inside and outside, and with what you do, you change the world a little bit for the better.

Grace ist so eine energiegeladene Person. Ihre Energie ist ansteckend. Mit ihrem Programm aus Yoga, Playfight, Zeremonien, Tanz, Achtsamkeitsübungen und dem Angebot zum Austausch miteinander hilft sie dir, wenn du möchtest, ein Stück näher in deine Kraft zu kommen. Stets ist sie zugewandt und unterstützt dich in deinem Prozess. Mit viel Freude, Witz, Offenheit und Empathie macht sie es leicht, schwierige sowie schöne Dinge zu teilen. Danke für das wundervolle und kraftvolle Beisammensein. Nun weiß ich, was ich zu tun habe. Sonne, Liebe und Dankbarkeit – fühle dich umarmt.

Grace ist nicht nur eine wahnsinnig tolle, inspirierende und starke Persönlichkeit, sie hat auch ein wundervolles Programm zusammengestellt. Sie hat wirklich eine Gabe, Frauen auf ihrem Weg in der spirituellen und persönlichen Weiterentwicklung zu leiten und zu helfen. ❤️ Das Retreat selbst hat mich zur Ruhe gebracht und gleichzeitig mit so viel Energie gefüllt, dass es auch jetzt noch nachwirkt. Ich kannte vorher niemanden dort und habe mich nach den paar Tagen doch so wohl und zu Hause gefühlt, dass ich gar nicht mehr gehen wollte. Ich habe viele Dinge an diesem Wochenende zum ersten Mal gemacht (Eisbaden, Kakao- und Feuerzeremonie) und hatte doch das Gefühl, bei allem eine tolle Unterstützung von Grace zu bekommen. So vieles an dem Retreat hat mich inspiriert, mich berührt, gefordert, zur Ruhe gebracht, zum Weinen und zum Lachen gebracht. Man hat die Möglichkeit, sich weiterzuentwickeln und dennoch in so toller Gemeinschaft zu sein. Danke dir, Grace, für diese transformative Erfahrung.

Einige Tage nach dem Retreat bin ich immer noch total überwältigt von all den positiven Erfahrungen, die ich machen durfte. Es war für mich das erste Retreat dieser Art und ich habe so viel Neues im Allgemeinen, aber auch an mir selbst, entdecken dürfen. In diesen drei Tagen bin ich so sehr zur Ruhe gekommen und bei mir selbst angekommen wie schon seit Jahren nicht mehr. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass es mich auch so lange danach noch so positiv beeinflussen würde, und bin absolut geflasht. Ein bisschen fühlt es sich so an, als würde ich auf einer Wolke von Dankbarkeit, Energie und Glücksgefühlen durch den Alltag schweben und alle um mich herum damit anstecken. Grace ist für mich die Powerfrau schlechthin und ich bewundere sehr, wie sie auf jede einzelne Frau in unserer wunderbaren Gruppe so gut eingehen konnte und trotzdem immer bei sich selbst geblieben ist. Es war so schön, mit all diesen tollen Frauen gemeinsam zu lachen, zu weinen, zu reden, zu schweigen, zu tanzen und noch so vieles mehr auf einer ganz besonderen Ebene zu teilen. Dank der tollen Unterstützung von Grace hat man sich immer wie zu Hause und gut aufgehoben gefühlt.

Grace hat mit ihrer beruhigenden und gleichzeitig ermutigenden Persönlichkeit eine besondere Gabe, Frauen zu sich selbst zu führen und in ihre Stärke und Kraft zu treten. In verschiedenen Aktivitäten (Yoga, Playfight Workshop, Feuerzeremonie, …) habe ich gelernt, in mich zu schauen und meinen Körper und Geist zu spüren. Eine besonders intensive Erfahrung war für mich die Feuerzeremonie! Grace hat in der Zeremonie tief vergrabene Gefühle und Emotionen in mir aufgerüttelt und mir somit viele Fragen beantwortet (sowie neue Fragen aufgestellt 😄). Ich habe es sehr genossen, mich in diesem nur dreitägigen Retreat mit anderen Frauen auszutauschen, zu lachen und auch zu weinen. Und völlig entspannt das gute Essen und die wahnsinnig schöne Location zu genießen. Ich würde das Retreat auf jeden Fall wieder buchen!
