An online immersive program for busy people to reconnect with your inner wisdom, cultivate your resilience, and generate day-to-day habits that nourish and resource you.
What a strange time we are living through. A global pandemic with associated economic uncertainties in a virtually connected world, where the majority of us live in cities away from nature.
Radically Reconnect is designed to answer these questions and more.
Often we only get rare moments to press pause on the busy routine of our lives.
And it is in those pause moments that we

We can help you create those pause moments in your daily life.
- What does this unique combination of factors do to our minds and our bodies?
- How can we honour ourselves, and show up with our fears and wishes?
Radically Reconnect is designed to answer these questions and more.
Often we only get rare moments to press pause on the busy routine of our lives.
And it is in those pause moments that we
- learn important things about ourselves,
- discover hidden longings,
- come up with new brilliant ideas,
- imagine a different future for ourselves.
Don’t wait until
- that annual vacation,
- or special retreat you gift yourself every 2 years,
- or even the downtime between jobs every 3 years.
We can help you create those pause moments in your daily life.
When people ask you how you are, do you often find yourself saying ‘Busy’?
Whether real or perceived, busyness is central to most of our lives.
According to British psychologist, Dr. Richard Wiseman, the overall pace of life has increased between 10 and 30% worldwide since the mid-90's.
Busyness by definition isn’t a problem. Some of us thrive when busy. If we feel energized by what we do and fulfilled, all is well. But there is a tipping point.
This is when we start experiencing symptoms of stress, like for example: feeling drained, anxious, quick tempered, having headaches, tummy aches or other stress related physical symptoms.
You may find yourself having difficulties focussing, regularly waking up at night or often distracted, wondering what the future holds. And all of this has not been helped by our current pandemic.
If any of this sounds familiar to you, then this program is for you.

Testimonials
The expertise shared by our teachers, Virginie and Lise, offered a rich blend of spirituality, wellness rituals and psychological concepts that could be immediately applied to our lives. The moderation was so thoughtful that it allowed us to be vulnerable and brave in sharing our lives.

Lise and Virginie are great, nurturing guides, particularly when it comes to navigating difficult “sticking points”, and created a calm, safe atmosphere for participants. I felt supported and heard, which is exactly why I need to take the course to being with. Thank you!
