NeuroMindfulness® Advanced Retreat 2027

We invite you to see your life differently and to create space for what comes next.

Imagine five days without the constant pull of messages, meetings and responsibilities; five days to slow down, reconnect with yourself and explore what deserves your attention now. Join a carefully curated small group of 16 participants - this is a space for leaders, entrepreneurs and people who have spent years building, achieving and contributing and are curious to purposefully design the next chapter of their life.
Terra Quinta, Portugal

Why this matters now

See your life differently - Create space for what comes next.

There is a particular rhythm to a life filled with responsibilities. You become skilled at making decisions, solving problems and keeping things moving. People count on you, your calendar fills up, your attention is pulled in a hundred directions.

And even when you find a quiet moment, your mind may still be planning the next thing. 

Perhaps you recognise this or perhaps your life is going very well, yet something in you is beginning to ask different questions.

  • What matters most to me now?
  • Which parts of my life deserve more of my attention?
  • What would I choose if I had the space to listen to myself?


You don't need to have all the answers and you certainly don't need a crisis to justify asking the questions. Sometimes, a change of environment and a little uninterrupted time is enough to begin seeing familiar things in a new light.

That's the space REWIRE creates.

A Thoughtfully Curated Group

Our intention is simple: to bring together the right people, at the right moment, for a meaningful shared experience.

The people you share this journey with are an essential part of the REWIRE experience. We bring together a small group of 16 participants who share a genuine curiosity for personal growth, openness to new perspectives and a willingness to engage fully in the experience. We give priority to those who have previously attended our retreats, completed the NeuroMindfulness Coach Certification or participated in our corporate NeuroMindfulness programs, while also welcoming new participants who resonate with our philosophy. Before confirming a place, we invite each participant to a one-hour personal conversation. This is an opportunity for us to explore together the fit with the group, the relevance of the retreat to your current life journey and your readiness to commit to the depth and experiential nature of this advanced program.

What Makes Rewire Different

Not another course. Not another wellness holiday.

  • The science to understand yourself. Explore neuroscience, attention and human behaviour.
  • The practices to experience something different. Yoga, meditation, breathing, self-inquiry and reflection.
  • The people to broaden your perspective. Sixteen carefully selected participants with different life stories.
  • The space to discover your own answers. No rigid formula, no pressure to perform or achieve a breakthrough.
  • The support before the retreat - Individual coaching to set your intention.
  • The support after the retreat - 3 Integration Group Sessions on Zoom.



Why REWIRE Is an Advanced Retreat

Building on nearly a decade of NeuroMindfulness retreats, REWIRE takes you further from self-awareness to conscious life design.

Unlike our previous retreats, REWIRE is a six-month journey of deeper exploration, sustained practice and integration, structured in three stages:

BEFORE | Prepare

  • 1 month of preparation with daily mindfulness practice.

  • A personal coaching session to clarify your intentions.

DURING | Go Deeper

  • More intensive daily meditation and breathing practices.

  • Advanced self-inquiry, wisdom circles, experiential workshops and peer coaching.

  • Exploration of long-held patterns, beliefs and conscious choices.

AFTER | Integrate

  • 3 guided group integration circles on Zoom at 1, 3 and 6 months.

What makes REWIRE advanced is the depth, commitment and continuity, turning insights into conscious choices and lasting practices.


The Rewire Philosophy

What you pay attention to shapes the life you create.


Where we direct our attention influences what becomes important to us. Our intentions guide our choices. Our choices become actions. And our actions, repeated over time, shape our results.

Yet when our attention is constantly captured by the outside world, how consciously are we choosing our direction? 


REWIRE creates the space to notice, pause before reacting, question familiar patterns and reconnect with what matters.

Testimonials

Cindy Thomas, Global HRD

Executive Retreat 2018

The NeuroMindfulness Exec. Retreat was magnificent! It helped me reset my life at just the right time! it provided me with enough space, time and tools to plan and start implementing a more balanced approached to my whole life. It all supported me immensely on my life journey!

Ioana Jongsma | TEDx & Public Speaking Coach @speaker.coaching.diaries

NeuroMindfulness Retreat 2022

I participated in the Neuromindfulness Master Practitioner retreat in April 2022. The masters, however, are Veronica and Arnaud, who were able to facilitate the most complete learning experience I have ever had. From knowledge to skills to presence, this retreat has transformed me as a person and as a professional. I got to meet some wonderful people, the other participants, who played an important role in this transformation as well. And I got to meet myself in several new ways. The location, House of Light, was simply gorgeous - as was the (vegetarian!) food.

Oksana Staniszewska, Global HRD

Executive Retreat 2018

There are moments in life, some wise people call them “black swan” moments, where the timing, energy, wisdom come together and touch your heart/mind/soul to leave the imprint forever... that’s how I recollect and see Neuromindfulness retreat! Veronica and Arnaud brought their best selves - impressive neuroscience knowledge, genuine care, loving kindness, authentic leadership and much more intangible assets - to immerse me with fellow program participants into what really matters in life. What stays vividly in memory every time I close my eyes to relive the joy of safe, friendly, caring atmosphere, feeling of connectivity and will to share, gratitude for being listened to. It has been a transformative experience for me.

Paul Olteanu, Master Trainer & Executive Coach, Founder @ MindArchitect

Executive Retreat 2018

The main benefits for me were: rediscovering what life is about, connecting to my body and the less cognitive sides of myself, spending time with amazing and inspiring people. I couldn't have asked for a better first time retreat. Thank you so much!

Alecsandra Litu, Consultant | Trainer | Coach

NeuroMindfulness Retreat 2019

I loved the fact that I had this space for connection and self-reflexion. I had lots of "a-ha(s)", and truly enjoyed the process. It felt like both of you deeply cared about us and were around us because it mattered what you were doing. The meaning showed.

Carmen Sidon, Transformational Coach

NeuroMindfulness Retreat 2019

I love your energy, as facilitators and as a couple. I like your authenticity, openness and balance. You are an inspiration! Also, the combination of location, content, food and the group is amazing and healing. You are doing a wonderful job. Thank you for everything.
