Through Ease into Deepness is a unique leadership retreat that blends the power of the ocean with systemic coaching based on the Open System Model (OSM). Guided by Manuela’s long experience in leadership development and systemic transformation, this journey invites you to slow down, reconnect, and explore the deeper layers of your leadership and self.

Through a balanced mix of individual reflection, group dynamics, and coaching practices, you’ll learn to understand your behavioral patterns, recognize the potential hidden in challenges, and realign your actions with your authentic values.

Every encounter with the sea, with yourself, with others becomes an opportunity to strengthen your inner leadership, balance your masculine and feminine energies, and gain clarity on your systemic role.

This program is designed to help you:

• Lead yourself with presence, clarity, and emotional intelligence

• Transform fear and conflict into awareness and constructive energy

• Integrate purpose and balance into your personal and professional life

• Expand your perspective and create sustainable growth within your system

At the end of the retreat, you’ll receive a certificate of participation, which can be considered a formal training event.

The breathing techniques of mBraining (multiple Brain Integration Techniques) are based on the idea that we possess three centers of intelligence: the mind, the heart and the gut. When these centers work in harmony, they allow us to live and act with greater balance and authenticity. Through specific breathing exercises, these practices help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote a deep state of centeredness.

The goal is to learn how to listen to and integrate our inner “voices”: the rational, the emotional and the intuitive, in order to make more aligned decisions, manage emotions more effectively and regain clarity, presence and confidence.

These techniques also help build physical and mental resilience, enhance lung capacity and improve concentration. They offer an ideal introduction to exploring the sea and deepening the understanding of your own body. Together with our local snorkeling guide, we’ll explore the colorful coral reefs of the Indian Ocean: the perfect environment to practice relaxation in the water, refine your breathing and connect with this extraordinary element.

Accompanied by a local snorkeling guide and a videomaker, we will dive together into the colors and vibrant life of the reef, bringing home not only memories but also unforgettable images and sensations.
We will stop at several sandbanks, small white-sand gems suspended between sky and sea, where we can relax, have fun, swim, and enjoy the beauty of silence and the endless blue. Many of these places are home to spectacular reefs, perfect for observing tropical fish, corals and the magic of marine life.
We’ll also visit local islands to discover Maldivian culture, enjoy some artisanal shopping and meet the local people: an authentic way to experience the real Maldives, beyond resorts and postcards in a private and intimate journey designed just for our group.

During the retreat, there will be no shortage of moments filled with joy and genuine connection. Alongside times of relaxation and reflection, we’ll enjoy evenings of celebration under the stars, with music, dancing, beach games, and lively moments of animation that will ignite our group’s energy.
These will be moments full of life, laughter, and spontaneity because depth and lightness are meant to coexist, shaping a truly complete and authentic experience.
Our motto says it all: living life with lightness, joy, and presence, celebrating each moment together with the sound of the sea, the sand beneath our feet and the magic of a community that grows day by day.

Because of the interest of many participants, we’ve decided to add the opportunity to experience the Maldives in depth to our program!
