Pause Redefine Restart

A Transformative Retreat

for Conscious Leaders

Welcome to an extraordinary journey of personal growth, where cutting-edge psychology and ancient wisdom come together to help you expand your sense of being, consciousness and leadership:

  1. Elevate Yourself and Your Leadership: Reconnect with yourself, strengthen your core, and unveil an authentic leader within you who is not only wiser and more grounded but also radiates serenity, clarity, and a strong presence. This is not just about leading; it's about leading with a depth of being, wisdom, and impact.
  2. Pause, Reflect, and Expand: Take a break from the intensity of your work and life and sink into deep rest for your body and mind. Learn to see and hear beyond the noise. Leave behind what you no longer need and connect with yourself and others from a place of inner peace and innate resilience that you can bring back to work.
  3. Discover the intelligence behind how the mind works. Gain an understanding of the intricate workings of the human mind and its potential. Tap into your inner power and grow your potential insightfully so you can continue to inspire others as a leader and human being.
  4. Tap Into Timeless Wisdom: Embark on a journey to get in touch with your humanity, intuition, and wisdom that will accompany you throughout your life as a source of constant guidance. 
  5. Get Clarity: Navigate the challenges of work and life with newfound serenity and clarity. Address your burning questions; align yourself with your true purpose, values and role.

This is not another leadership training, a well-being retreat, or a holiday. It is an intense, immersive and transformative inner-work experience that will expand you personally and redefine how you lead so that you continue to have high success without compromising your life, leadership impact, and who you are.

It is more of a soul-based than a role-based leadership programme. When you are clear inside, your actions come from a different place.

Come as you are. This retreat is an invitation to become authentically and powerfully you. It will bring a gentle yet palpable inner transformation that will positively influence how you navigate business and life.

In just 3.5 days, this unusual leadership programme will open your eyes to a new way of being. You will redefine your leadership experience and embark on the journey of a lifetime.

Are you ready? 

Leading and living from wisdom

Reconnecting with the essence of who you are is the fastest way to unleash the innate potential for success, wisdom, and well-being you have within you.

This retreat is about being. Who you are matters. Your natural leadership, wisdom, health, creativity and clarity matter if you want to be the best leader and human being you can be.

You are not your past, your personality, your mental habits, or the ideas you have of yourself. Neither are you at the mercy of your circumstances. You are way more than that.

Understanding the human mind's psychological potential is a gift that will bring more ease, wisdom, impact, and a greater sense of fulfilment into your leadership and life.

There is a depth of your soul and a power of your mind ready to be seen, understood, and activated. Seeing that in you, will help you see that in others. Your actions and interactions will then come from a different place.

This Leadership Retreat guides you through an innovative approach that combines modern psychology with ancient wisdom and will make all the difference to your role and life.

I look forward to guiding you on this path!

MEET YOUR RETREAT HOST

Hi, I'm Drissia Schroeder-Hohenwarth, a Psychologist, a Leadership and Organisational Coach, and the Owner of DSH International HR.

I started studying psychology 36 years ago and have always been fascinated by all the facets of the human experience, our ability to change, and the wisdom we carry.

I have accompanied thousands of leaders and their teams in their personal and professional development individually and collectively as a Clinical Psychologist, then HR Manager, and for 17 years as a Transformative Coach for Leaders, Teams and Organisations.

In all these years, wonders have happened before my eyes. I know profound transformation is possible. This gives meaning and purpose to my work.

I work with heart, knowledge and intuition. And in addition to an extensive experience in classical systemic coaching, I bring a profound psychological and spiritual understanding to my work that makes all the difference.

My life experience also shapes my approach at a deep human level. I have personally walked a hopeful path of transformation and know what it feels like. I am honoured and grateful to be able to accompany you on this unique and personal growth journey.

What Clients Say

Holistic and Deep

"The location and the group of participants were very nice - a beautiful secluded country house in Provence, with participants from different companies and of various nationalities.

We all came with a similar wish to explore and learn topics around self-leadership, stress management & effectiveness in leadership. Dealing with our triggers, fears, and behavioural patterns was one of the topics we addressed, as well as expanding our perception of life beyond our rational thinking to get a more holistic understanding of situations, ourselves, and our interactions with others. The conversations were very personal and very profound. 

Drissia knows how to create a gentle, kind atmosphere that enables open and honest conversations in a safe environment. Above all, her positivity is contagious. So, I came back home not only with good intentions but also with the realization that this new knowledge will inevitably continue to bring long-lasting personal change, and all I have to do is continue to open up to it.

I can recommend this experience to anyone willing to grow personally and learn deeply and holistically. But I think Drissia would also be able to reach anyone who is very rational and has not yet discovered the power of their own intuition and wisdom.

Never something as powerful as that

"Nothing has changed in my surroundings, however, my perception of life has changed.

I used to feel so overwhelmed every time some negative things happened. I used to blame my circumstances a lot and be triggered and very reactive. Now, I wake up in the morning thinking about the learning from the retreat, and feel calm and energized despite the challenges I am facing currently. I let my wisdom guide me.

I did not know I had this power within me. I have definitely grown in my inner strength, and I trust that everything will work out very well in the end, both in my private and professional life. 

It was not an intellectual learning, but a learning of the heart. 

Drissia helped me release as well really old sorrow and fears, which have caused a lot of insecurity and lack of self-confidence throughout my life. I started to see where it came from and realized it is not mine, I felt free.

And I met an amazing group of people who inspired me during this leadership retreat and with whom I felt a heart connection and an absolute sense of belonging I had never felt before.

Thank you Drissia, for everything. I have done lots of learning programs before but never something as powerful as that. "

SENIOR INVESTMENT BANKER

Inspiration and Enlightenment

"Drissia’s retreat "Insight Leadership" I would describe as an inspiration and enlightenment on my journey to what really matters in terms of leadership (of myself and the teams) and an important reflection point to get closer to what makes me… me. I had the privilege to work in 1:1 with Drissia in a couple of professional coaching sessions prior to the retreat, so the core beliefs were not completely new to me, the preparation materials were well-picked and the intense time at the retreat helped me a lot to link the dots to a more holistic view on leadership and also my personal growth.

Drissia’s spirit and her authentic way to share her knowledge, her support and wisdom, is impressive and of course THE heart of the retreat. Being part of a small group in a very inspirational setting, made the retreat even more powerful and enriching. Overall, I can say that the retreat brought so many AHA-effects and clarity that I am deeply grateful for this experience and the lasting impact: It helped me to gain more clarity and to find a wiser way of interacting in some heated and triggering situations. Also, it inspired me to spot good ways as a leader to share my insights and pass them on to my team and peers.

Thank you to Drissia and the retreat-Cohort May 2024🙌!"

A Transformative Journey

"The retreat with Drissia was a unique inner experience - a transformative journey enhanced by the beautiful and inspiring surroundings in the middle of Provence. Listening with empathy, analyzing with a holistic view and translating the complex into the simple or essential - Drissia is very good at this. During the retreat, she gave numerous impulses for changes in my own thinking and actions that already have an impact. I am so thankful for that experience and look forward to the rest of my journey.“

INDEPENDENT CULTURAL CONSULTANT

“I had the pleasure of enjoying intensive coaching with Drissia, which brought me realisations about myself and the way I approach my family and work. Drissia’s kind and warm heart always guided me back to the question of what was happening inside of me, to my inner wisdom. She showed me how I can rely on it. There is wisdom inside us all. As leaders of international teams this is a common denominator regardless of our backgrounds, nationality or experiences. Simply trusting myself and ourselves brings serenity, awareness and more clarity to my work and personal life. Thank you, Drissia, for this wonderful start of a journey where I feel a new lightness in me. I wish you Drissia a good continuation with people to whom you can give your love and professional guidance to. Merci”

“And in this game of life, we all search for ourselves. When I say selves, I mean inner selves, the thing that created life in the first place. Now consciously, most of us are not aware of this. But if you’re searching for happiness; if you’re searching for tranquillity; if you’re searching just to have a nice, peaceful, loving, understanding life… in actual fact, you're searching for your inner self.” Sydney Banks
