A career that others admire, a title that carries weight, a schedule that never quite has room to breathe. And somewhere along the way, the connection to what actually matters to you got quiet.Return to Self is a three day retreat for leaders and highly sensitive high performers who sense it is time to pause, to listen inward, and to reconnect with who they are beneath the doing.This is not about leaving your career behind. It is about returning to it, and to your life, from a place of alignment rather than force. What This Retreat Offers● Three days at Kloster Kappel am Albis, a former monastery set in quiet Swiss countryside, held for reflection and depth work● Guided sessions rooted in Lester Levenson's releasing method, Ramana Maharshi's Self inquiry, and somatic awareness practices● A small, intimate group of no more than eight participants, so the work stays personal and held● All meals included, prepared with care, alongside guided movement and reflection activities throughout the retreat● Space to process burnout, transition, or the quiet sense that something needs to shift, guided by seven years of coaching experience and a personal path through burnout and recovery Your GuideCarmen Balacianu is an Executive and Awakened Leadership Coach based in Zug, Switzerland. Before coaching, she served as SVP of Marketing at Roche Diagnostics, the youngest woman on the board, leading a team of forty. A severe burnout followed by depression became the turning point that shaped her work today. She is ICF certified and an approved coaching provider at AbbVie, and has guided senior leaders through burnout recovery, life transitions, and reconnection with purpose for seven years.Is This Retreat For You?This gathering is for you if you recognize the contrast between how things look on the outside and how they feel on the inside. If you are navigating a major transition, sensing the edge of burnout, or slowly rebuilding after it. If your achievements have never quite translated into the alignment you were hoping to feel.You do not need to leave your career to find your way back to yourself. You need real, guided space to reconnect. That is what these three days are for.Details: Maximum 10 participants.

Within five years of earning her MBA at IESE Business School, she became the first woman under 40 to join the Board of Directors of Roche Diagnostics' largest division , newly married and pregnant with her first daughter at the time. From the outside, her career looked like it was set to reach the stars.What most people didn't see was the cost of that ascent. She burned out, severely, and fell into a major depression. At the time, she saw it as a fall. Today, she understands it was an awakening, one that reconnected her to her values, her purpose, and her calling to walk beside others in their own transformation.She is a certified Executive Coach (ICF – ACC) and a certified master teacher in the Tibetan Pránanadi lineage, an ancient healing tradition dating back over 6,700 years BC. She teaches meditation and breathwork, integrates trauma-informed somatic practices, trains in Kyokushin Karate, and is a Camino de Santiago pilgrim.She does not teach a path she has only studied. She guides one she has walked.Her framework: the 3 C's: Courage, Compassion, Connection." } ] } ] ```
