Stepping Up

Summer Retreat in Greece

1 - 10 may 2026

To stand in your true power

Stepping Up speaks to the part of you that longs to be authentic, to speak from the heart, and to take your rightful place in the world. During this time, we will meet each other beyond our fears, our masks, and all those ideas and beliefs with which we keep ourselves and one another small.


It is also designed to be relaxing and enjoyable. We will work in the mornings for half a day, take the afternoon off to do nothing, to swim, hike, canoe, sight see and then get back in the evenings to simply share.

Love is calling us to action

We live in fascinating times. Perhaps more than ever, the world needs people who stand for truth, peace, and justice. Love is calling each of us to action. And the time is NOW — to come together with others, to show yourself, and to make a difference. Ready or not, it’s time to answer that call.

Maybe it’s not so much about Stepping UP as it is about Stepping IN. Because when you dare to step into your greatness, the “up” will be given to you.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Rather ask what makes you come alive, and go do it! Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” 

 -  Howard Thurma

This retreat has changed my life.

It’s not that I felt unhappy before, but the difference between then and now is like night and day. Questions such as “Who or what am I?”, “What do I want and what holds me back?”, and “Where am I truly alive and where am I not?” — I now answer them completely differently than before. This workshop has brought me closer to myself. I experience my life now as more authentic, happier, and more meaningful.” – Steven Verbeek

What a beautiful journey.

A journey within myself — to my core qualities, pitfalls, sensitivities, and challenges. What is my passion, and what do I want to bring into the world?” – Ine Tuerlings
