The Retreat is a powerful, all-inclusive 4.5-day residential program created exclusively for graduates of the Hoffman Process.
If you’re ready to expand your healing and transformation beyond the foundation you’ve already built, this is your next step.
Where the Hoffman Process helped you awaken to a spirit-guided life, The Retreat shows you how to live it, deepening self-love, sustaining emotional flow, and staying grounded in your creative essence.
Led by master practitioners Volker Krohn and Jutka Freiman (combined 60+ years experience), this advanced experience blends Hoffman tools with Family Constellation work, the Enneagram, and profound somatic practices to guide you deeper into your authentic self.
Graduates often ask: “How is The Retreat different from the Process?”
While the Hoffman Process uncovers the past, illuminating patterns shaped by childhood and parental influence, The Retreat delves even deeper, into the core of your being: your innate temperament and essential self.
This advanced program is not just about gaining insight, it’s about living that insight. It guides you from survival to vitality, from mental understanding to embodied transformation. You’ll learn to accept what cannot be changed, find the courage to shift what can, and develop the clarity to discern the difference.
In doing so, you lay the foundation for wise, heart-centred leadership, in your life, relationships, and beyond.
In the Hoffman Process, you were introduced to the Quadrinity Model, the integration of the Emotional Self and Intellect (representing the conditioned personality), the Physical Self (the body), and the Spiritual Self (our essence, or pure consciousness).Through the emotional and physical transformation of the Process, many of us became more attuned to our spiritual energy, more connected to the deeper, intuitive presence within. We also came to understand that while we can’t always avoid life’s triggers, whether from circumstances or other people, we can choose how we regulate and realign our Quadrinity.
What wasn’t fully explored in the original Process, however, is the influence of our inborn temperament, the essential way we’re wired at birth. This underlying force often operates unconsciously, quietly shaping our perceptions, decisions, and behaviors.
The Retreat brings this temperament into focus, revealing how it can steer us, sometimes without our awareness, down the familiar path of the Left Road. By making the unconscious conscious, we empower ourselves to choose the Right Road more consistently and with greater clarity.
Our instincts are powerful biological forces that shape where we focus our energy and how we act in the world. In The Retreat, you’ll explore the dynamic relationship between the self-preservation instinct, the sexual (one-to-one) instinct, and the social instinct.
When we’re out of balance, we often over-rely on one instinct while suppressing another, leading us off centre. The Retreat brings compassionate awareness to these unconscious patterns and supports you in discovering the practices and choices that help realign your instincts, so you can stay grounded on the Right Road.
By the end of your journey, you’ll:
This isn’t just the next step, it’s a deeper embodiment of everything you’ve begun. The Retreat invites you to move beyond survival and live from the fullness of your true nature.
