The Space Between

not only Yoga - not only Stillness

Meditation. Yoga. Coaching. Nature. Silence.

12-17 May 2026 | Mascaratu, Sardinia

A retreat to slow down, recharge and gain clarity

THE SPACE BETWEEN is a 5-day retreat in Northern Sardinia about connection — the inner and the outer.

Through daily yoga, meditation, and guided coaching, you’ll explore how your emotional world shapes the way you relate, communicate, and connect.

Each morning begins with mindful movement and meditation, followed by a focused coaching session.

You’ll work with themes such as self-relationship, emotional patterns, authenticity, and connection — always in a grounded, practical way.

Afternoons are for nature and quiet reflection: coastal walks, stillness by the sea, a visit to sacred sites like Li Mizzani, or relaxed time to simply pause and integrate.

Evenings bring shared dinners, soft connection, and the easy rhythm of island life.

This retreat is for anyone who wants to understand themselves and others more deeply — not through concepts, but through presence, experience, and honest conversation.

Come as you are. Leave with more clarity, simplicity, and connection.

Sping Season – with meditation, yoga, nature, and space to come home to yourself.

  • WHAT TO EXPECT
  • Daily morning meditation & yoga (Hatha, Yin, intuitive flow)
  • Afternoon excursions: sea hikes, canoeing, sacred sites
  • Coaching circles  
  • Quiet time by the pool, in nature, or simply with yourself
  • Nourishing vegetarian meals with Sardinian soul
  • Evenings in silence, with music, or under stars
  • optional 1:1 coaching and bodywork sessions
  •

Always with space to return to yourself.

The Retreat Venue

Let Mascaratu slow you down.

Mascaratu is a peaceful countryside property nestled in the soft hills of Northern Sardinia, just a short drive from the coast. Surrounded by granite boulders, wild herbs, and open skies, this land carries a quiet, grounding presence.

The traditional buildings, shaded terraces, and natural stone structures offer both simplicity and charm — inviting you to slow down, breathe, and feel the rhythm of the island.

From here, we set out to explore Sardinia’s magic: hidden beaches, sacred sites, and ancient landscapes. And yet, Mascaratu itself is a place to arrive. A place to rest. A place to remember the beauty of being.

Our retreat venue consists of 6 guest rooms , each with its own ensuite bathroom and terrace.

We offer 2 types of accommodation (all options include all meals, practices, and full participation in the retreat):

Shared Double Room
For those who enjoy a sense of community, we offer shared rooms with two separate beds and plenty of space.
You’ll share the room with one other participant (you can come together or we’ll match you gently).

Private Single Room
If you prefer privacy, a limited number of single rooms are available.
Enjoy your own quiet space while being part of the shared experience.
Includes all meals, practices, and full participation in the retreat.


If you have any questions about the best option for you, feel free to reach out.
We’ll be happy to help you find the setting that best supports your journey inward.

Connection grows in moments we sometimes even not Connection grows in moments we sometimes even not notice.
The small signals.
The silence.
The way we move toward someone or pull away.

This retreat grew out of the work I do every day.
Observing what happens between people.
And what shifts inside one person when we relate.

We call it chemistry, but often it’s recognition — We call it chemistry,
but often it’s recognition — a familiar emotional pattern that feels like attraction.

When we meet someone new, our subconscious scans for what it already knows.
That means we’re often drawn to people who mirror our early experiences —
the way love once felt available, inconsistent, or conditional.

This is why chemistry can be powerful, but also misleading.
It can reconnect us with warmth, safety, and vitality —
or it can activate old attachment patterns that pull us into repetition.

The work is not to distrust attraction,
but to understand what part of us is being drawn in.
Awareness turns chemistry into choice.

We all want connection. But sometimes, we mistake We all want connection.
But sometimes, we mistake it for intensity, approval, or control.

I often see how people lose their inner peace
when they start to merge instead of relate.

Real connection means staying in contact without losing yourself.
It’s the balance between openness and calm,
between giving space and being seen.

That’s what I teach in my relationship coaching sessions —
how to stay connected without giving up your center.

I miss October. Not only because of the beautiful I miss October.

Not only because of the beautiful weather.

What made it truly special was the retreat time with two amazing groups at Mascaratu.

People arrived with their stories, patterns, and habits — and somehow, within five days, everyone found their own rhythm, and a rhythm together.

Through paying attention to what the heart needed most.

Some quiet time alone, shared moments in nature, and the easy talks over dinner.

My new retreat The Space Between grew out of that feeling.

Out of the realisation that understanding yourself doesn’t happen in stillness alone —

it happens in the spaces between us, in reflecting yourself through others.

And it happens in the pause, when you turn inward and notice what’s present when nobody else is around.

〰️The Space Between 〰️ is five days of yoga, meditation, coaching, and Sardinia’s quiet wildness.

For anyone who wants to understand themselves and others with a little more honesty and ease.

⫸ Dates: 12–17 May 2026

Yesterday at a friend’s dinner, I had an inspireri Yesterday at a friend’s dinner, I had an inspirering conversation with an Italian guy next to me — someone I only vaguely knew.
We talked about music, the artists we love, and how we both cried when David Bowie died.

It was such a small, unexpected moment of resonance.

And it made me aware again of how much the events of our lives shape us — the years we grew up in, the feelings we carried, the things that marked us without us noticing.

Sometimes these shared timelines create an immediate sense of familiarity, even with someone we barely know.

Other times, sitting at the same table doesn’t mean sharing the same experience.

Two people can look at the same scene and feel something completely different — because each of us brings our own memories, fears, hopes, and quiet inner world to that moment.

Last night reminded me how naturally we connect when we share common ground even if we come from different countries —

and how much deeper conversations become when we recognise the emotional landscape behind someone’s words.

So please don’t talk to me about the weather. ;-)

I often see how couples lose their connection not I often see how couples lose their connection not because they stop loving each other, but because life gets too busy or there are lots of misunderstandings. We forget to really listen, to slow down, to see the person in front of us.

In my sessions, I offer a calm space to reconnect — to talk honestly, understand what’s been missed, and find new ways of being together.

If this speaks to you, send me a message. We’ll find the right moment for your session — online or here in Sardinia.

When you give your relationship space — time to sl When you give your relationship space —
time to slow down, to share, to listen —
something begins to shift.

The Art of Connection invites couples to a 5-day private retreat to reconnect in an intentional way — through conversation, touch, silence, and the wild beauty of Sardinia.

Held in Mascaratu or at Villa Akasha in Northern Sardinia, this retreat weaves deep work, conscious dialogue and somatic awareness with moments of rest, nature experiences and togetherness.

Each retreat unfolds uniquely, shaped around you and the stage your relationship is in.

For those already staying nearby, I also offer half-day or full-day couple sessions — a chance to reconnect even during your time in Sardinia.

Available year-round by appointment.

Sometimes a few days of presence can change everything. 🤍

Softer. Warmer. More alive. Curious? Join me for Softer. Warmer. More alive.

Curious? Join me for A 6-Week Introduction to Tantric Meditation

Starting November | Online via Zoom

We often move through life too quickly — rushing from one thing to the next, disconnected from our own aliveness.
This six-week course is an invitation to slow down and rediscover the quiet pulse within you.

Tantric meditation takes a different approach: instead of turning away from the body or the senses, we use them as gateways into deeper presence and connection.
Each week we’ll explore a new aspect of tantric awareness — from grounding in the body and awakening the senses, to balancing inner energies and opening the heart.

It’s not about doing more, but about softening into presence and feeling life move through you again.

You can choose between two course times:
🕯 Tuesdays, Nov 4 – Dec 9 | 7–8 pm CET (English)
🌸 Thursdays, Nov 6 – Dec 11 | 9–10 am CET (German)

💫 Course fee: 90 €
DM me to book your spot for this gentle journey of awareness and connection.
No previous experience needed.
