BEYOND THE MIND BEGINS YOUR TRUTH.
Perhaps it is not the fear of failure that really accompanies us, but the question: Am I leading my life, my business, from my true inner strength?
Free from old roles. Free from expectations. Without regrets, without old burdens, free from the voices that want to keep us small.
There are places that don’t ask you who you are – but remind you
It is this quiet longing that has probably accompanied you for a long time – not louder, but deeper:
For a place where you don't have to prove anything to be welcome.
For feeling at home – not externally, but within you.
There is something inside you that reminds:
in depth instead of timing.
of connection rather than functioning.
to a life that arises from within you – still, clear and alive.
RECONNECTED is your space if ...
-
you have achieved everything that can be seen, but nothing really touches you inside anymore.
-
you were strong because you had to be, and you wish you could just be held for once.
-
you are tired of rooms where everyone shines and you long for a place where you can just be real.
-
you are not looking for a new method, but for a moment that will truly change you.
-
you feel that you are alive but have long since stopped feeling.
-
you want to know who you are when you are no longer achieving anything, proving anything, doing anything.
-
you are ready to face everything that has become silent within you and everything that is waiting to come alive again.
-
you are no longer searching, but finally want to find.
This retreat is not a Programm. No "higher, faster, better."
It is a space, that will lead you back to yourself.
You have accomplished much. Projects. Recognition. Reputation. Everything looks perfect from the outside.
But Insider? Empty. Tired. Numb.
After an achievement you sit in your car. Everybody celebrates. Except you.
You lie in bed at night. Your head is spinning, your body is exhausted .
But you don't even sense your body anymore.
One question remains: "How much longer? Is this it?
Success has arrived. But you don't feel it anymore.
And this is the true cost of keeping it all together.
You don't want to accomplish more. Another programm. Another tool. Another certificate.
You don't need more motivation to finally be able to become aware of your success and be able to celebrate it.
You need a space, that provides support, so you can pause.
It is only in this pause, between keeping it all together and losing yourself, that you will find yourself again.
This is exactly what the retreat in Oman embodies:
-
Seven days – no mask, no obligations, no keeping it all together
-
Accompanied by three experienced kindred spirits, that hold you - not coach you, that see you - not evaluate you, that accompany you where you have lost your way.
-
Powerful nature: ocean, desert, mountains – that bring your inner nature back in sync.
-
Deep processes through our work with you. A space for conversations and silence.
-
A space that has an effect – even when you don't do anything.
It is not a wellness timeout.
It is your time, to learn to find and feel yourself again.
The encounter with yourself, will enrich you far more than you can imagine.
Only eight spots. No show. No expectations.
Just you. Completely.
Is RECONNECTED right for you?
Yes – if this speaks to you:
ENOUGH ACHIEVEMENT, TIME TO LIVE - ENOUGH UNDERSTANDING, TIME TO FEEL - ENOUGH FUNCTIONING, TIME TO BE
A retreat that can truly change you? Sounds exaggerated, right?
We know how it sounds.
You've heard such promises too many times: "transformation," "depth," "connecting with yourself" - but nothing has really changed.
And you are right:
As of 2025, there are few spaces that truly deliver on their promises – beyond self-promotion, cozying up, or spiritual platitudes.
That's why we do it differently.
Welcome to RECONNECTED
Imagine there was a place where no one asked how you function, but how you really feel.
A space that holds you without you having to be strong.
A place far away from noise, roles, and expectations. Where you can just be.
That's exactly what the “Oman – RECONNECTED” retreat is.
Here, you don't have to perform,
explain, or prove anything. We are
not a stage. We are space holders.
Bridge builders. Companions. We take
you seriously – especially when you can
no longer feel yourself.
And then what you have longed for happens: the silence does not become empty, it becomes full of life.
The vastness of the desert reflects how much space there is within you.
The mountains carry you until you feel solid ground within yourself again.
The sea reminds you how free and clear your breath can be.
Sounds peaceful?
That's exactly the point.
Because the greatest change
doesn't happen in noise, but in silence.
And there you find what you've
been missing for so long: yourself.
Welcome to a space that not only changes how you feel, but how you live.
Welcome to reconnected.
IMAGINE …
...you arrive in Muscat. Your phone is still vibrating, your head is buzzing, expectations, everything you're carrying. But then: the ocean. You breathe deeper, the waves lift the weight off your shoulders. For the first time in months, you feel: I am here. I have arrived.
...you sit by a fire in the desert at night. During the day, the same old pressure still exists: be strong, function, have everything under control. But now – nothing but wide open spaces. Above you, a starry sky so vast that your worries seem small. You realize: Here, I don't have to be anyone. Here, I can simply fall and be held.
...you're standing at an altitude of 2,000 meters in the mountains. The rocks are ancient, immovable. Next to them, your inner chaos seems tiny. You feel clarity. Strength. Grounded. Suddenly, it's there again, the voice within you that you haven't heard for so long.
...you talk to people that want nothing from you—no glamour, no functioning. Only authenticity. You say for the first time, "I'm tired." And instead of pity, you receive presence. You realize: I'm allowed to be like this. And that changes everything.
...you experience what silence feels like—not emptiness, but a space full of life. No pressure. No to-do list. Just nature, yoga, energy work, frequencies. And the realization: Change doesn't happen when you fight, but when you let go.
...after seven days, you return to your life, transformed. No longer driven. No longer empty. But with a feeling you had almost forgotten: "I have arrived. In myself."
Experience the magic of the powerful RECONNECTED spaces
If something inside you is pushing for something new, this is the moment to initiate it.
March 10 - 16, 2026
OMAN
Day 1 – Arrival at the Ocean (Muskat)
You arrive in Muskat and immediately feel: something new begins here.
The ocean receives you. With every breath you leave a piece of your everyday life behind. Freedom
The waves carry your first burdens away, you breathe deeper, your body becomes softer.
For the first time in a long time you sense: something new begins here.
A gentle arrival in Oman and with yourself.
Day 2 & 3 – The desert: reduce to the essentials
When the silence becomes louder as your head
You step out of our routine and are welcomed by the endless expanse.
The wind, the silence, the starry sky – everything calms you down. You breath deeper, your body lets go.
Everything keeping you stuck in survival mode, falls away. You open yourself up to completely arrive at yourself.
The desert becomes a space of clarity.
No distractions, no performance, just you in absolute silence.
Here you find answers, no reason can explain.
Clarity arises. From the vastness. From the silence. From you.
Day 4 & 5 – The mountains: grounding & clarity
The return to your strength
In a 5*-Hotel at 2 000 meters above sea level, you are welcomed by the silence of the mountains.
Mighty rock formations, ancient and immovable, remind you of your own strength.
Here, where the air is clear and the view is vast, your inner self becomes quiet.
The mountains carry you, they provide stability and ground you.
What used to be chaotisch, falls into place. What used to be heavy, becomes light.
You sense the clarity that has been waiting to be lived again for a long time.
In this majestic vastness you realise:
You are not the role you play. Not your title. Not your mask.
You are essence. Free. Strong. True.
Day 6 – Return to the water
Ocean once more. But this time you are not the same person that arrived before.
Your breath is free. Your body is light. Your vision is clear.
The ocean reminds you: I have returned. To myself.
A quiet ending and at the same time a start into a new sense of life.
Day 7 – Return home
You don't just take memories with you.
But a new sense of life.
Anchored. Real. Alive.
Ready to impact your daily life without losing yourself again.
What participants report after the retreat
We can tell you a lot. That's why we prefer to let others speak.
Lea, entrepreneur
I learned to appear present, but not to be present.
This week, everything that “had to be done” fell away.
No pressure, no role, no goal.
Just silence. And me.
I didn't return as a new version of myself,
but as someone who can finally breathe again.
Nancy, teacher
I wasn't looking for a retreat.
I just wanted to feel again why I was doing all this.
The work, the family, the whole race.
There, in that silence, I realized:
I don't have to change anything - I just have to be there again.
Since then, my life feels like it's mine.
Katrin, mom of two kids
I came because I was tired of functioning. School in the morning, work, appointments, meetings... everything was running smoothly, but I wasn't there anymore.
Here, for the first time, I was allowed to be quiet again without feeling guilty.
I didn't “find” myself - I stopped losing myself. Since then, I have been able to feel my life again, in the midst of everyday life. With relief.
Volker, dad and team leader
I thought I didn't have time for something like that.
Now I know: I didn't have time not to do it.
I was always there for others: family, work, responsibilities.
But there I understood: no one benefits when I forget myself.
Today I am calmer. Softer. Present.
Not perfect, but real.
What remains when you leave
In everyday life – from being driven to serenity
Imagine waking up in the morning feeling calm instead of pressure.
Your head is silent, your body gives you clarity.
Decisions no longer feel like battles, but like clear impulses.
You go through busy days – and still have energy.
You no longer rush, but are carried.
And small things – a ray of sunshine, a breath, a smile – touch you deeply again.
In private – real closeness instead of masks
You sit at the table with your partner or your children – and you are really there.
No role, no facade. Just you.
You can allow closeness because you feel yourself again.
You listen to what your soul really wants and allow yourself breaks, travel, enjoyment –
without a guilty conscience.
This will make you more loving towards yourself – and automatically towards others too.
In business – clarity instead of comparison
You no longer lead from pressure, but from your center.
Your energy is clear – and people feel it.
The right customers find you because you are genuine.
You no longer compare yourself, but go your own way.
You finally know what you really want to bring into the world – and you don't need strategies to feel safe.
Because you yourself are the strategy.
The greatest result – your new being
After seven days in Oman you are back home – within yourself.
You feel yourself. You trust yourself.
You follow your inner voice and go your way.
Not driven, not conformist – but free, courageous, connected.
And that's exactly what real life feels like.
Silence will be your teacher.
The landscape will be your mirror.
And the space will show you what you haven't been able to hear for a long time.
What makes RECONNECTED so special?
Who we are and why it matters
We are Vanessa, Dominic, and Stephanie. Three people, three stories – one space.
What unites us: We are not coaches. Not gurus. Not stage people.
We are space holders, process facilitators, bridge builders.
We come from different backgrounds: therapy, bodywork, leadership, energy work, consciousness work.
And yet, for us, it's always about the same thing: honest connection. With you. With what is.
We have been supporting people in intensive processes for years.
Quiet. Awake. At eye level.
Oman is not a place we chose by chance.
It reflects what defines our work: depth. breadth. clarity.
You will feel it when you are ready.
Vanessa Schmalz
Vanessa accompanies people in going deep – to the place where connection arises and the essential becomes tangible.
Her experience is nourished by many stages of her own path: training as a yoga teacher in India, days of silence in Nepal, Akawa training in Germany, and recurring stays in Oman – a country that has inspired her for years as a place of vastness and inner contemplation.
A central field of her work is end-of-life support. As an End-of-Life Doula, she reminds us of what is truly essential – and that engaging with death also brings us closer to life.
In her work, Vanessa combines clarity and depth with a calm, steady presence.
She creates spaces in which people find trust in their own journey – and encounter the silence in which vitality and clarity become visible.
Dominic Höher
Dominic has been working as an osteopath for over 20 years, treating adults, children, and infants.
His special expertise lies in the subtle perception of body-based imprints – often formed in early childhood or even before birth.
He understands the body as a vessel of memory: everything that shapes us – emotionally, mentally, biographically – leaves traces in our tissue.
Sensing these traces without judgment and bringing them into movement is the essence of his work.
Dominic supports people in recognizing these often unconscious patterns – and in freeing themselves from them.
Not through technique, but through presence.
Not through analysis, but through deep understanding.
He speaks internationally and shares his knowledge in lectures and workshops – with clarity, groundedness, and a language that makes even complex connections accessible.
Stephanie Butschek
Stephanie has been accompanying people through transformation processes for over 30 years – first as a teacher, later as a mentor, speaker, and energetic process facilitator.
She has spoken several times at the United Nations and is active in international committees – with a presence that does not need to be loud in order to be heard.
In her work, she combines analytical clarity with intuitive sensitivity.
She does not work on stage, but in a field of resonance – present, calm, and aware.
Her strength lies in perceiving what is invisible, finding words for what remains unspoken, and holding a space where people do not have to perform – but are simply allowed to be.
For Stephanie, Oman is also such a place of power – a land she returns to again and again to experience vastness, stillness, and inner clarity.
Some places say nothing – and show you everything.

Q&A
CO-ORGANIZER
The retreat is held in cooperation with Bedu Expeditionen, a boutique travel company specializing in Arabia, Africa, and Central Asia, led by Mr. Peter Franzisky.
He studied special education and Islamic studies and has been traveling across North Africa and the Near and Middle East for more than 30 years.
As the author of two travel guides on Oman and the UAE, he combines profound regional knowledge with a deep cultural understanding.
Together with his team, he designs and organizes unique journeys and personally guides tours to Oman.
More than eight years ago, I had the privilege of planning my very first travels through Oman with his guidance – an experience that deeply shaped my connection to this country.
