Retreats
Retreats provide an opportunity to step off the fast track, and:
- Pause, reflect and gather insights on the road travelled, thus far
- Ensure you’re paying attention to what (and who) is important
- Take some time to delve, explore and experiment
- Contemplate what is calling you
- Start to distil the version of you that wants to emerge
- Create a roadmap for the next phase of the journey
It’s also a perfect opportunity to stop DOING, and JUST BE.
We partner with fellow systemic facilitators across the globe to offer enchanting, provocative retreats where a safe container is built from the moment you sign up – we absolutely believe that the space we create together, matters.
We very much look forward to welcoming you soon.
Is your transformation agenda at risk of being derailed?

The Transformation Agency
Barbara studied Business Administration and worked over a decade in financial organisations in management positions in the Netherlands and abroad.
‘I am constantly curious to find out what the good (systemic) reasons are that things are the way they are.
Zooming out to wider systems is part of my natural way of being and doing.
Always ready to be courageous ánd vulnerable.
Not afraid of harsh reality ánd in service of mildness and gratitude.
I love to spread systemic work as a healthy virus, through trainings, workshops, constellations and coaching.’
Then she worked as independent mediator in organisational and family conflicts for 11 years until 2015, when the systemic work fully took her into service.
She lives with her husband Michiel, three children and dog Tex in the beautiful old countryside of Texel.
‘I enjoy how the Texel sheep are hopping funny in the meadow and I feel vital, partly thanks to the year-round swimming in the (Wadden) sea.’
