Choose Life in Connection and Dignity

Systemic Work Retreat

The tension between “see me” and “let me be” needs a healthy movement. It starts from the men-fathers and women-mothers relationships and it moves into the personal and professional relationships.

  • How can we include the love and support of our ancestors? By not doing it alone, we grow into connection, interdependence and gratefulness.

  • What happens when the man or the woman in the work or personal relationship becomes successful? What do we gain and what do we loose in the connection?

  • How can we stay out of the trap of trying to heal in the relationship what needs to be healed on our own?

In order to reconnect with others, we need to reconnect with the qualities we received and did not give enough recognition to. They harbor the roots we need to move from interaction to connection, from compromise to dignity.

And from there we can weave into our personal and professional lives the strength of separation with the vital togetherness.

We invite you to join our wonderful event - the spring edition - Autumn 2025.

A weekend long international program, taking place in Bucharest, in a beautiful green location - The Acacia Village.

This is an inner growth workshop, singles and couples are equally welcome. On Friday afternoon we will be working together in the mixed group, on Saturday we will be working in separate men and women groups and on Sunday morning we will harvest the take-aways in the mixed group again.
