What should I bring?

One lingering question, the one keeping you up at night

  • Which path should I take now?
  • Is it time to leave?
  • What would I choose if I stopped waiting to feel 100% ready?
  • Why does the thing I worked for make me feel nothing?
  • The question lingering in your mind.

With guided prompts, space to think, and a supportive group to listen. You leave with answers and an action plan.

Who’s it for?

Capable, busy, and stuck

It’s for you if

Something in your life is ending, or ought to be: the business, the job, the relationship, the city, the version of yourself that made sense five years ago.

You’ve talked it over with friends for months, without actually making a decision. You keep promising yourself a proper think, a long walk, an empty Sunday, and your busy life eats it every time.

This time it’s different: space and time to explore your options, without judgement, and move forward.

It’s not for you if

  • You’re in the middle of a crisis. Unstructured time isn’t the answer.
  • You want therapy. We provide a framework and the questions; the work is done on your end.
  • You just want to have fun. The weekend is partly silent and spent focusing inwards. You’ll meet like-minded people, but we skip the chitchat.

Any questions, or want to talk it through first? We’re here to help.

The weekend (sample)

This is roughly how the weekend runs. The structure is fixed, but the details can evolve with the group. If there is something you would like included, mention it when we speak.

What you leave with

An answer to your question that survives Monday

Sunday morning is 90 minutes with paper: what you now think, what you’re going to do, when, and what you’ll give up to make it possible. Then you commit to it in front of the group, so you stick to it.

Six months later, things have changed and the first concrete thing is done, the conversation, the resignation, the appointment. And you know what a day of silence does to your thinking, which you can get back to on your own.

The house

A big quiet house, a garden, one shared table

350m² of house and 8,000m² of garden, on a hill in Murfacém. Twenty minutes from central Lisbon, seven from the Caparica beaches, and quiet enough that you will notice it.

About your facilitator

Charlotte

Charlotte, your facilitator

I’m French, in my thirties. A few years ago I left a corporate expat career for a life that felt more aligned, and I’ve been an entrepreneur and business consultant ever since, helping solopreneurs bring their dream to life.

I also facilitate workshops on nervous system regulation, and what drives me is helping people step out of their comfort zone and find room to expand. Along the way I’ve spent time in isolation and meditation retreats, and trained in tantra and non-violent communication.

My methods are grounded and practical, based on proven techniques, nothing mystical and nothing you have to take on faith. I’m not a therapist and I’m not a life coach. I’m a support and a guide: I hold the space and the process, and the work stays yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t know what my question is?

Most people arrive with something vague, and we spend time refining it.

What if my question isn’t big enough?

“Should I keep doing this” is plenty. What matters is that you’ve been avoiding it.

A silent day with people I’ve just met?

You won’t be strangers by then, there’s a circle and a dinner first, and you’ll each have heard what the others are carrying.

Will I leave with an answer?

Very likely. And if you don’t, you’ll leave with a much sharper question and one thing you’ve decided to do, which lasts longer.

What about my phone?

It goes in a box on Friday and comes back on Sunday.

I’ve never done anything like this.

Nor have most of the room. It’s a beautiful yet gentle experience to share.

Dietary requirements?

Tell me when we speak and we’ll make sure to honour them.

Request your spot

Tell me a little about you

Two lines is plenty. We’ll talk for 15 minutes, and I’ll send you a link.
