‘What to make a stand for in life?’ We talk about things that we want to have more prominent. Indeed next to such a prehistoric standing stone.
Getting that new feeling of blossoming for instance next to newly blooming plants like this endemic one on Sardinia. (Local liquor made from this plant coming up!)
Don’t you worry for a moment about the food and the venues: all from rich simplicity to simple richness.
PROGRAM
- DAY 1-8: There is no fixed program, just like in life! What we do guarantee is that this eight-day immersive journey will be an organic mix of all the following elements, with hypnosis as a central facilitating tool:
Old Hurts & Pain Accessing and processing past emotional wounds Letting Go Releasing people, patterns, and limiting beliefs Becoming You Shaping the identity of the person you choose to become The Dance Free movement, embodiment, celebration of change Regain Control Control Room technique – restoring inner authority The New You – Rebirth Integration and rebirth into the new identity Connection & Discovery Moving bodies, dance, connecting with others Self Check-In Inner MOT / APK test – reviewing progress and balance Conversation & Closure Group sharing, reflection, future anchoring All this in the heart & soul of Sardinia, getting closer and closer to the heart and soul of You. And with you as an active healthy guiding steward of yourself, thanks to all the tools that you will bring back home, with a prominent role from now on in your life for… your very on, personal Control Room. This experience in the natural, alluring beauty of Sardinia is sure to rejuvenate your whole body, mind and soul.
This will be the format of our days in Sardinia: 1) Short check-in, 2) Guided Trance/Hypnosis, 3) Grounding Integration (journaling, movement, quiet reflection). To facilitate and inspire all that we have fascinating Sardinia, where we will visit a special selection of places, attuned to the content of our week. You do not come on this week just to see places, but to get further as a person. This goes for all the max 9 participants to this Transformative Retreat, forming a Fellowship of fellow travellers in life.
So, on day 1 we will greet you at the airport and whisk you away to our first venue. Our travel there is complemented by a visit to a ceremonial place dating from deep prehistory where we will share a welcome ceremony which includes an overview of wht we are going to do and how we will all incorporate it.
During our first few hours together you will have an idea of how the rest of the week will go. It will be highlighted by the beauty of nature, special places, amazing local food, in the company of adventurous, friendly, like-minded people. Our schedule is organic and fluid, go-with-the-flow if you will. Each day’s activities will be guided by the collective, so keep an open mind and embrace what unfolds. Flexible in body and mind, open also for intuition, inspiration, guidance.
Once we conclude the opening session off we go to our first of our venues on our week, that will be our base to explore from. We are not sharing specific names and locations, only that they have been thoroughly tested before and that they are highly rated without loosing local character. The whole idea is that you hand over control also here; you will be very safe. Frequently heard quote at the table, after one or two days already: ‘I just called home and my wife/husband asked where we are going. My answer to that: I have no idea and I just can’t wait!’ This is not made up. It is at is and unfolds.
- SO DAYS 2 and 3: We begin with a delectable breakfast and then gather for a talk about the things you just read above. The exact order is also left to decisions in the moment, attuning to the energy, with the best intentions for growth, moving with the knowledge that ‘it is the journey itself not the destination that counts’.
We will visit sites like Fountains and millennia’s old tower complexes, we will meet local purveyors along the way, perhaps meet the adorable playful instrument maker, who is also the medicine man of the village. Our noontime picnic lunches will be enjoyed under magnificent cork oaks. Then take a rest to allow our bodies to digest as we take in the pure simplicity and harmony of this island.
Later in the evenings, we will dine with farmstead food, on family owned venues where often the women cook only their produce and meat. (Vegetarian? No problem.) The local olive oil, the seasonal products, the natural environment…. Again these are not the standard tourist restaurant, serving spaghetti carbonara, a ‘continental dish’, here we will taste real freshness created with love and pride.
All will be central to our experience, the scenery, the way of traveling, eating, practicing, exchanging, learning, enjoying.
- DAY 4: Around all this beauty we will transfer to the mountainous area that the Romans called Barbagia. (‘Those Barbarians… Wouldn’t let themselves be romanized!’). We will take in mural paintings of international Freedom Fighters in a nearby village and spectacular lake scenery; see the metaphor too: freeing ourselves from blockages. Dinner will be in a family run farm where the grandmother, La Nonna, will prepare a special meal just for us. This agriturismo (homestead) is deep in the Sardinian Wild, immersed in local authenticity and hospitality.
After dinner, if the famous choir practices we will go and hear their songs which exemplify Sardinian culture. Prior to retiring to our rooms we will surely have a exchange on what the day brought us.
- DAY 5: This day’s adventures take us to the village of Oliena. Here we will reside in a mountain hotel with fantastic views of the valley. This is the village of the master embroiderers, of papal level, and of course we will visit their workshop. It sure is a pleasure to be there and admire their fabulous works of sheer beauty. This also gets us to open open up more comfortably to the precious realm of the right brain hemisphere. Tonight, dinner will be in a fabulous home restaurant serving a menu with recipes coming from the proud local famous Nobel winning author Grazia Deledda. Enjoy poem readings between the courses and locally made wine famous for not getting you drunk or hung over!
- DAY 6: On this final day we will again marinate in meaningful and inspiring considerations, always encouraging you to explore in nature via the lessons of the previous days. We always find beautiful places to walk and talk, journal, meditate just take it all in with joy and appreciation. We will wind down our retreat with a closing ceremony. Share some hugs and maybe a tear or two…
And then… we will waive you goodbye at the airport. Or if you are extending your stay, Samuele will provide tips for your continued travels. How will life be after this special Sardinia experience? Calmer, more enlightened? More focused on what truly matters?
You can be sure we will keep in touch after this, if you like, keeping alive what has been presented on our life path on this transformative journey.
A TRANSFORMATION RETREAT JOURNEY THAT WILL CONTINUE ALSO BACK HOME
Some experience this immersive retreat will be, helping you to incorporate new insights and new confidence in your life. Not-coincidentally at all you will be doing all this exploring on an island that – mind you – ancient Sumerian, Egyptian and Greek sources called ‘Paradise’! Sardinia is as small as the state of New Hampshire, but it ‘happens’ to be dotted with thousands of inspiring and mysterious stone sites, great places to commune with each other and nature.We will do this in a compact group of new ‘old’ friends on a beautiful adventure. The group size is kept small to promote an organic flow, with attention on the group’s energy. You will also enjoy non-touristic high level cultural expressions that make this Island of Myths so very special.
Does this resonate with you? If so, then please do join us on this adventure with a small group of like-minded people, all with their hearts open and willing to contribute to a better world. We are delighted to have you join us!
I am Martin Frederick, a hypnotherapist from Health Balance 4 U and will be acting as the co-host providing inner transformational group sessions during the retreat. Alongside Yoga practices and Dharma talks, I will offer guided hypnosis and trance sessions to support deeper inner change, letting go of what has been carried for too long, strengthening self-trust, and anchoring new choices. These sessions are gentle, supportive, and designed to help what you discover in Yoga as well to become real in everyday life. There will be opportunities for some people to book a 1+1 session if further help is needed with much deeper and personal issues.
On my website heathbalance4u you can read what I do in general: I guide you to a life of Focus, Freedom, Flow, and Fulfilment through hypnotherapy and mental health coaching. If stress, overthinking, emotional overload, or old patterns are draining your energy, you’re in the right place. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, or disconnected find clarity, strength, and inner balance again, using proven, modern hypnotherapy methods. Whether you’re an expat navigating pressure, a professional running on autopilot, or someone who feels weighed down by past experiences, my work is designed to help you regain your mental freedom and reconnect with who you truly are.
All meals are included in this unique tour: breakfast, lunch and dinner from farmstead restaurants to picnics. The delicious meals are prepared with locally sourced organic produce with rich mineral content. Sardinia is an ancient volcanic island, the volcanic ash and lava deposits have enriched the soil with minerals and nutrients, making it fertile for agriculture and making the produce grown nutritious. The goal of this trip is not just ’to enjoy’, but also to be motivated to contribute to active stewardship of our own healthy life. We will be guided, taken care of, protected, inspired in many ways, seen and unseen. We might do a session exactly here, overlooking one of the picturesque villages where you might even want to buy a house :). (We have good honest advice on that too!)
Nature is still pristine on Sardinia. We know the best hidden spots, and those spots are also ‘given’ to us.
Alligned with our focus of this week, our accommodations are places that have a certain vibration especially selected for this tour. Even seemingly rustic accommodations are warm and inviting, in addition to scoring 9 out of 10 on Booking platforms. LOGISTICS
