The Setting: Personal and professional growth amidst lake, mountains and enchanted forests
A leader is someone who brings conscious impact to this world. Set in nature, this seminar invites you to re.connect with your own nature as a leader. In a community of like-minded, like-hearted and like-spirited leaders you are invited to journey through practice, teachings and self inquiry. Grounded in a holistic approach, working with our brain, body and soul, you are invited to dive deep with yourself.
Seminar Focus: An experience tailored to the participants
The content and practices of the seminar will be specifically tailored to the group joining the retreat. Having led workshops for teams and leaders for over 10 years, and worked with more than 200 clients in 1:1 Coachings, Nina will prepare customized workshops and practices for the group gathering for this seminar weekend. The content will include journeys exploring your relationship as a leader to your
Meaning and purpose
Body and nervous system
Stress and relaxation
Blockages and fears
Creativity
Stillness and slowing down
Relationship with your teams/clients/loved ones
And the implications on your leadership
Nina’s work focuses on teachings which can really be embodied and brought to life- else it is just consuming knowledge. That is why the retreat will combine a mix of teachings (based on neuroscience and story), self inquiry, group discussion and practice (physical yoga practice (asana), breath practice, meditation practice especially yoga Nidra (yogic sleep)). In addition suggestions for personal practice will be provided, to support you further on your journey of mindful leadership and meaningful impact.

The location: Villa Alma “The house of the soul” at the lake
Villa Alma, the house of the soul, is set in the picturesque village of St Gilgen. Surrounded by peaceful mountains, direct access to the turquoise beauty of the Wolfgangsee and forests with enchanted rocks and stories, this place offers the perfect location. Villa Alma invites you to retreat from the busyness of life and re-connect to yourself. With the space all to ourselves, the house of the soul will set the stage for soul-ful transformations. Be it at mealtime with lake view, yoga and meditation practice overlooking lake and mountains or under a starlight night sky, a refreshing lake dip after a cleansing sauna. With an eye for design, a love for detail and personal touch - the love of the owners pours through in every corner of this place (be excited for the wonderful Saint Charles bath products, the specifically designed scent upon entering, or the lovingly designed rooms) A refugee for Nina to connect to her creativity and quiet down, the house of soul will house our souls and will have you leaving immersed and filled for the rest of the year.
Arrival: You can easily reach Villa Alma directly by car - we are happy to support car pools to ensure sustainable travel. If you travel by publics: Go until Salzburg Hauptbahnhof and we will organize a shuttle directly to Villa Alma

Nurturing our minds and bodies - Healthy and pure food to support your process
To nurture our bodies along with our minds, it is important to us to provide pure and nurturing foods. All Food and snacks are included on the retreat, as well as water and tea. In order to support a process of purification and deep connection all food served will be vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar-free. There will be no alcohol or junk food available. We recommend preparing your body the week ahead by following a healthy diet (listen to your body as to what this means for you), reducing animal products and caffeine intake.
Where this journey will take you
We would love to tell you exactly what these three days will bring forth for you - yet when we surrender to the intelligence of our body, subtle energies and heart in this way, anything is possible.
So if you are ready to connect deeper with yourself, with your mission in this world, surrounded by nature and a like-hearted group of leaders: we are honored to welcome you.
The time of the season: Immerse yourself in golden October
As humans we are nature, and so as leaders our cycles are impacted by the cycles of nature. October is a colorful time, often referred to as „second spring“ or „the golden month“. With its golden lights, winds singing about change and brisk nights, October is a time of enjoyment and harvest:
We harvest the learnings from the spring and summer months, and prepare for the darkness of winter. We immerse ourselves in our own light. We connect to all the different colors and facets within us. Following the wind, we are invited to look where change has happened and is taking place. The falling leaves signal the falling of the masks and walls we no longer need. The richness of nature in color, smell and presence invites us to see our own abundance.
The beauty is: as humans are nature, there is no need to „do“ anything to harvest the gifts of October. If we surrender to our own nature, we uncover these gifts of change, transformation, discovering our own light and moving forward from this place - just in being, not in doing. Set amid nature, supported by practice, teachings and the group - we will open up to these gifts of change and re-connection. This is what our joint space will invite you to surrender to.
