A Weekend for What Is Next
Berlin-Köpenick
A weekend away for women who are ready for a new chapter, but do not yet know what it looks like.
Your days have been full of everyone else. Now there is space, but no clear next step.
Maybe your children need you less than before. Maybe you have had a career break, moved countries, or spent years focused on your family. Now you have more time and energy for yourself, and you can feel that something new is possible. But when you try to think about what that is, the answer is not there yet. And at home, the everyday gets in the way.
This weekend gives you what is hard to find at home: time, quiet, and a small group of women in a similar season of life, so you can think something through to the end.
This weekend is for you if
- You are ready for a new chapter, but you do not know yet what it looks like.
- You are thinking about returning to work, retraining, volunteering, or starting something of your own, and you cannot decide.
- You want to talk with women who understand, without having to explain everything from the start.
- You want to leave with a real next step, not just more ideas.
You do not need to know what you want before you come. Finding that out is the work we do together.
What we work on together
- What fulfills you now. Your values and what brings you joy may have changed. We start from who you are today.
- What you already bring. Your strengths and experience, including years at home, abroad, or in another field, with a strengths assessment so you can see them clearly.
- Exploring your options. Returning, retraining, volunteering, or building something of your own. We test ideas before you commit to one.
- The inner side of change. Doubt, guilt, and “who am I now?” come up for almost every woman. We make room for them.
- Building confidence through action. Confidence grows from small, real steps. We find out what those steps look like for you.
- Your next step, and your support. You leave with a concrete next step and women around you who know what you are working on.
How the weekend works
- Before: a private 1:1 call with me, so I understand where you are starting from, and you get to know me before you arrive. Then a short welcome call on Zoom for the whole group.
- Friday: arrive any time from 4pm and settle in. We start together at 6pm, with dinner and time to get to know each other in a relaxed way.
- Saturday: group sessions, quiet time to reflect, small-group conversations, and time outside.
- Sunday: bringing it together into your next step, and a closing circle. We finish at 11am, with plenty of time to travel home.
- After: an online follow-up session in early December, to see what you have started and what you need next.
Price and what is included
€300 founding price (no VAT is charged, in accordance with § 19 UStG)
- Two nights’ accommodation in a shared room
- All meals
- All sessions, materials, and the strengths assessment
- The 1:1 call before the weekend
- The online follow-up session in December
You will be part of the founding group. This is the first retreat in this format. In return for the lower price, I will ask for your honest feedback after the weekend. If the weekend was valuable for you, I would also be grateful for a short testimonial, but only if you want to give one.
Maximum 12 women, so everyone gets real time and attention.
Cancellation: if you cancel by 10 November, you get 50% of the price back. After that, please get in touch, and I will look at your situation personally. You are also welcome to give your place to a friend.
Questions you might have
I will not know anyone there.
Most women come alone, and that is completely normal. Before the weekend, we have a short welcome call on Zoom, so you will already know everyone’s faces when you arrive. The group is small, and the first evening is about getting to know each other slowly, without pressure.
I am a quiet person. Will I have to share a lot in front of the group?
You decide how much you share. Some of the work happens in pairs or small groups, and there is quiet time for your own reflection. Many of the deepest insights come from women who mostly listened.
Will I have to share a room?
Rooms are shared, which keeps the price low.
I do not know what I want yet. Is that okay?
That is exactly who this weekend is for. You do not need a plan before you arrive. Finding your direction is part of the work.
Can I really take a weekend away from my family?
It is one weekend, planned well in advance. Many women find that the time away helps the whole family, because they come back clearer and with more energy. If it helps, we can talk this through in your call.
Is it worth spending this money on myself?
For years, a lot of your time and money has probably gone to other people. This is an investment in your next chapter: a clear next step, women who support you, and a follow-up to keep you moving. The founding price is the lowest this retreat will be.
What if it is not right for me?
Book a free 30-minute call with me first. We will talk about where you are now, and I will tell you honestly whether this weekend fits. If it does not, I will suggest what might fit better.
How do I get there?
The house is about one hour from Berlin by public transport. You will get the exact address and travel details after you register.
Who leads the weekend
I am Dawn, a certified systemic coach and business trainer, and I have worked with hundreds of women.
I know this transition from my own life. I moved to Berlin without the language or a single friend. Later I stepped back from work to care for my children, and then I worked out what fulfilled me when I was ready to return.
My groups are warm, honest, and practical. Read my full story
