My name is Dana. I am a therapist and travel all over the world. I learn new skills and experiences that I would hardly ever learn without leaving my comfort zone. My desire to explore different cultures and people across the world is what drives me.
I have always known I wanted a lot from life and that I didn’t want to simply survive but to taste all the colors and live to the fullest. My hopes and dreams are not just some unattainable idea, I make them become reality. Even the craziest ones.
The jungle on the island of Lombok in Indonesia is a great environment for personal development. For connecting with yourself. For finding peace, balance, and what truly makes us happy and gives us meaning in everyday life. Each of us needs to stop sometimes and tune in to ourselves more. To be surrounded by peace and nature. To switch off. To relax. To realign your values and move forward on your journey through life.
This retreat is right for you if you are looking for a higher meaning to your own existence and want to get closer to your most authentic self. The retreat sensitively opens up topics related to your work and finding meaning in it. Using effective techniques and mutual sharing, you will gradually establish a healthy relationship and attitude towards work and be able to look at your situation from a broader perspective.
Are you familiar with feelings such as it’s Monday again, but I can’t wait for Friday or exhaustion after returning home from work instead of feeling energized by your work? Have you been doing a job that pays the bills, but you feel that you want more out of life? Do you feel like you re always working and chasing something, but life is actually slipping through your fingers? Does it stress you out that you don’t have enough time for anything or anyone? Are you thinking about a change, but afraid to take that step? This and much more will be the theme of the retreat in Lombok in October 2026, which is just around the corner!
Lombok showed me the way and the path to achieve this inner state in the long term and without pressure. It gave me answers to my questions, thanks to which I was able to sort out my life values and priorities relatively clearly and quickly. A change of environment and its appropriate choice can accelerate our inner processes at an incredible pace. Lombok and its authenticity are perfect for this way of working. And so, over time, a magical idea of retreats was born in my head intensive 10-day stays in the jungle of Lombok in my own dream bamboo house, which I built a few years ago with the help of amazing people in this heart of the ocean.

A pleasant surprise in the form of co organizer and inspiring traveler Libor, who lives in Indonesia
It was powerful, challenging, intense, magical, exhausting, liberating, authentic, raw, and beautiful. It was my first retreat—one I will never forget. A complete sense of safety and deep connection with myself. My perception of the surrounding nature was on a whole different level. True presence. Living here and now. I can hardly find the right words to describe it. Those who haven’t experienced it won’t truly know. Those who have—know, and words become unnecessary. Thank you so much for the organization, flexibility, and the overall diversity of the retreat. These few days will remain in my heart and mind for a long time.
The retreat in Lombok was incredible. The contrast between city life and life in Lombok is so profound that it brought me many deep realizations. Disconnecting from the sense of time, days, and dates was exactly what I needed. I’ve taken new mind and body practices into my personal life and am learning to be more calm and grounded. Dana is a warm, empathetic, and intelligent woman with a genuine desire to help others. Her co-organizer, David, is amazing—energetic, deeply knowledgeable, always happy to share, and naturally gifted at bringing people together. Together, they formed a truly unique team that worked seamlessly and complemented each other beautifully. If you find yourself at a crossroads, or if you simply want to focus on yourself and your personal growth, I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat.
Participating in the retreat left a deep mark on me. Lombok as a place is raw, full of contrasts, and completely unpretentious. The island’s historical traditions meet modern life here, and in every corner you can feel an incredible sense of freedom and openness. Everyone can almost do whatever they want—there are very few rules. You see it on the roads, in the cities, in nature, on the beaches—and coming from regulation-heavy Europe, you have to adapt. Here, no one constantly tells you what to do with signs at every corner. That creates space to rediscover yourself—your own boundaries, rules, instincts, and playfulness. And that is exactly what these retreats are about. The nature is breathtaking, the culture entirely different from what we know in Europe, and time flows at its own pace. Jam karet. One day you feel like surfing all day and drinking fresh coconuts on the beach, the next you’re exploring the jungle and discovering new waterfalls. Dana, as the retreat organizer, was exceptional. She took care of us as if we were her own. Everything was well organized, and whenever something unexpected came up—whether health issues or changes in the program—she handled it immediately with kindness, warmth, and genuine care. The same approach carries through the retreat sessions themselves. In a beautiful bamboo house, you experience a rich variety of self-discovery practices, guided by experienced facilitators in a strong atmosphere of trust and openness—without any pressure to do something you don’t feel comfortable with. For the specific experiences of the retreat, you simply have to travel to Lombok and live them yourself. All I can say is this: it will be an intense journey—one you will never forget.
The ten-day retreat in Lombok was a unique journey that offered me not only countless experiences and the opportunity to connect closely with the local culture, but also a deeper look within myself. It allowed me to view my life from different perspectives and find greater clarity and inner balance. What stayed with me the most was the so-called animal exercise, where I let go of control, allowed myself to express what was within me, and tuned into the animals’ energy—something I continue to draw from to this day. Whenever I need it, I can reconnect with that experience again. Each day brought new impulses, inspiration, and the feeling that I was one step closer to myself.
