When the old no longer works, and the new isn’t clear yet
June 4 – June 7, 2025
Marbella, Spain
When the old no longer works, and the new isn’t clear yet
if you’re ready to stop just surviving change—
and start meeting it with presence, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself
Sometimes, something shifts
It may have started with a life event
Or as a quiet, persistent feeling you couldn’t ignore
But one day, you realize — you can’t keep living the way you did
You don’t know exactly what’s next
but you know this: what once felt right no longer does
And deep down, you feel it’s time to turn inward
and now you don’t know who you are without it — or who you've become through it
and feel unsure whether you can meet the expectations in this new environment
and now you’re trying to regain your footing — both in your life and within yourself
and you no longer recognize yourself in this new role
and now, alongside everything else, you have to rebuild your inner stability too
and now you have to build a completely new life from the ground up
and you don't know how to return to yourself
and you’re no longer the person you were before
and you feel a deep emptiness in your life
and with it, the way you see yourself
and now you’re navigating who you are beyond your professional role
you are no longer who you used to be, but you don't know yet who you are becoming
not just let change happen to you,
but to walk through it consciously,
in connection with — and guided by — your inner compass.
What you’ll find here is not:
• a solution to your problems
• another thing you need to “get right”
• a method you have to follow
You don’t need to prove anything here.
You don’t need to appear strong.
You don’t need to know what comes next.
It’s a space where you can simply be —
and in that presence, you begin to reconnect with yourself.
thoughtfully designed to support your transformation,
and guided by a workbook I created specifically for this inner process.
It’s not just a collection of questions,
but a consciously structured path
that helps you meet yourself on a deeper level —
where your answers don’t come from your old stories,
but from something more true within you.
You’ll go through self-awareness experiences
that help you step out of your usual perspectives
and sense yourself in a new, deeper way.
And this retreat holds even more than that.
More than self-discovery.
More than inner work.
It’s a joyful, liberating, and supportive space.
There will be quiet moments and powerful insights,
tears and laughter,
space to go deep —
and space to feel joy, too.
This journey is about you.
I’m Ildiko Duna – mentor –
and I know what it’s like when life shifts beneath your feet.
When the roles you once played no longer fit, and you find yourself standing in unfamiliar territory – whether it’s the end of a relationship, the beginning of motherhood, a career shift, a major move, or simply a deep, internal shift you can’t quite name.
It’s disorienting. It’s uncertain.
And yet, somewhere deep inside, you know: you can’t go back to who you were – but you don’t yet see who you’re becoming.
For 15 years, I was a senior executive, excelling in a world where expectations were clear—both from others and from the deep, internal programming I had absorbed over a lifetime.
I knew exactly who I needed to be to be respected, valued, and loved.
So I became her.
I followed all the rules. I met every expectation.
And yet, I felt an unexplainable tension, a constant push to keep proving myself, to keep meeting standards that were never truly mine.
Then… something cracked.
I started searching for who I truly was beneath the roles, the masks, and the constant need to meet expectations.
Throughout my life, I have experienced all but one (retirement) of the major life transitions listed above.
In addition to these, I have also faced two profound turning points that completely shattered everything – my identity, my surroundings, and every sense of stability – forcing me to start over from nothing.
I worked as a business coach, supporting leaders in breaking through limitations, becoming trusted and integrity-driven leaders, and finding themselves within the demands of expectations and the pressure to perform – impacting every area of their lives.
I led women’s circles, creating spaces where women could reconnect with themselves – not through more striving, but through remembering.
I facilitated Silence Retreats, offering the depth for self-exploration and the profound experience of truly meeting oneself.
in a safe space where you can walk your own path,
while being supported, inspired, and reflected by the presence and journey of others —
you can still begin this journey.
At the core of the retreat is a deep self-discovery workbook I created
which can also guide you through this inner process on your own:
step by step, safely and gently,
alone — but supported by the structure.
