People are finding themselves increasingly stressed at work and home, especially in the past two years of Covid and recent global economic turmoil. Many individuals are struggling with lifestyle transitions; they have difficulty focusing while adjusting to rapidly changing conditions. They are dealing with uncertainty, heightened stress, and anxiety as they try to maintain meaningful employment, work-life balance, and healthy relationships. Others are finding it difficult adjusting to retirement. Faced with these issues, how can we gain a fresh perspective and step into a state of flow ?

My approach as a transitions guide, combining years of experience as a life coach, mindfulness teacher, university lecturer and researcher, centers on helping people restore balance in their lives, by creating better conditions for focusing on what is essential, thus relieving stress during lifestyle transitions.

Through gentle inquiry we work together in a comfortable group setting to explore situations that invoke more awareness and meaning, to identify instances of flow in people’s lives, and reveal the deeper significance that it brings. This heartfelt approach helps ground individuals in their sense of self-worth, which in turn shifts (and lifts) their perspective in many important areas: careers, professional identity, personal relationships, health and wellbeing, spirituality, and nature appreciation.

This four-day interactive retreat in Orval provides tools to strengthen your journey towards finding your flow during challenging life transitions. We will focus on self-discovery through contemplative practices such as deep reflection, mindful dialogue, mindful movement, group discussion, artistic expression, journaling, slow eating, and outdoor exploration. La Ferme du Bois-Le-Comte is a peaceful location nestled in the woods—ideal for experiencing inner peace and gratitude for nature’s abondance.
