OPEN YOUR WORLD RETREATS
Exclusive. Psychological. Innovative.

Welcome to OPEN YOUR WORLD RETREATS

Need a change? An escape? Perhaps this is your moment.
Our OYW retreats are a new form of coaching, psychotherapy, and psychological education, far beyond the familiar setting of everyday rooms. They are vivid, multi-layered, and deeply inspiring.

Whatever is currently calling for your attention in life: here, you can move significantly closer to your goals in a remarkably short time.

You are invited to arrive within yourself. And to come into contact, in a new way, with what is truly alive in you.
This opens a space in which real change can happen.

This retreat is a gift you give yourself. Time just for you.
Time to recharge, reflect, clarify, and realign.
Time to regain strength and listen (again) to your inner voice.
Time to experience something new and make it your own.

Within a protected, respectful atmosphere, you receive what supports you best.

Welcome to Thailand

A psychological retreat with coaching, yoga, meditation and more

In this retreat we cultivate happiness and lightness as an internal orientation, one that will stay with you, regardless of external circumstances. This is not about superficial "being happy." It is about a quiet, powerful joy that arises from clarity, self-contact, and inner space.

Our retreat place on Koh Phangan carries a bright, light energy. Nature, sea, tropical warmth, and an atmosphere that naturally sets something in motion within you. Made for a Happiness Retreat of a special kind.

Here you will experience how opposites can coexist and learn how to hold yourself, even when life outside becomes too much.

You will discover your inner safe space and anchor it deeply within. You will receive impulses on how to loosen inner restraints while strengthening your inner stability.

In a new, playful way, you will regain access to your inner resources to calm, clarity, and your capacity to lead yourself rather than being driven by outer demands.

Retreatort auf Koh Phangan / Thailand ist kein typisches Hotel

Special guest

For this theme, we are joined by a very special guest:

  • Anika Tiegs, author of "Das Domina Prinzip – Diene dem Leben, aber sei Herr über Dich selbst", also known from her podcast as Nika (Macht).
  • Anika is a psychological counsellor and worked as a dominatrix for five years. Today she uses the BDSM analogy in talks, workshops, and couples/individual sessions.
  • She stands for breaking inner chains, opening mental cages, and living beyond the "mental straitjacket."
  • In our retreat she will create, exclusively for our group, an evening "in the ropes."

LIVE YOUR S.E.L.F. – your gift to yourself

Our venue is perfect for those who love the unusual. This is not a typical hotel, but a place that, through its magical vibes, invites lightness and joy almost effortlessly.

What awaits you this week

  • Individual psychological 1:1 sessions with Eva Senges and Verena Peipe
  • Innovative seminars, group sessions, and impulses that strengthen your S.E.L.F. your innermost core, with impact and ease: Meaning. Energy. Love. Joy.
  • 9D Breathwork for deep transformation
  • An workshop with Anika Tiegs: Being in the Ropes
  • A cacao ceremony for deep inner connection
  • Yoga and meditation as a daily balance practice
  • Unconventional spaces for joy, stillness, and authentic being
  • A place that combines nature, energy, and beauty
  • Single occupancy bungalows for maximum privacy

Highlight 9D Breathwork

A special element of this retreat is the profound 9D Breathwork experience, described by many participants as life-changing. You enter your innermost space, into what often lies beyond words.

The nine dimensions combine breath, music, language, frequencies, and bodily awareness into a transformative journey. Many participants report an intense feeling of liberation, clarity, and deep reconnection with themselves afterwards.

Highlight: "An evening in the ropes" — workshop with Anika Tiegs

In a bondage workshop she introduces the magic of ropes; how they can hold us, and thereby help us let go. An evening of surrender and conscious control.

When you learn to hold yourself and untie your inner knots, you return to yourself and from there, you can create something truly powerful.

Individual preparation

Before the retreat begins, we will meet for an in-depth preparatory session, online or in person in Heidelberg. Together we clarify your inner topics, wishes, and goals. This ensures that your retreat week is tailored to you and touches what truly matters to you right now.

We meet at a pier on Koh Samui and travel by private boat to our hidden paradise. We are happy to support you with the planning of your journey to Koh Samui.
