40+ AND ME
Embracing change, completeness & new adventures
A 4-day retreat in a beautiful setting where you’ll write a new story for yourself about renewal, new adventures, the realization of old dreams, me-time and the possibilities of completeness.
See you at Catherine’s Cottages – Hungary
September 9-12, 2019.
Time left to complete your registration until 1st of June 2019:
40 years have passed. Your children have grown up, or not, you’re where you’ve always wanted to be in your career, or perhaps not, you’ve experienced burnout or not, you’re divorced or not, you’re happy or not.
How do you want your next 40 years to look like? What stories would you be happy to tell your grandchildren or your friends, about the coming years?
We’re inviting you to a 4-day retreat with lots of love, created for women, by women. Women who tell their stories of what it was like to reach 40 or more, to stand up from tough situations, or not so tough ones, with a decision to create a new framework for their lives, in which they can experience completeness.
The program was inspired by Catherine, who is one of Charles’s Dickens descendants, and who owns a small rural estate some 80 kilometres from Budapest. She will tell us her story personally, about her dream of working in the Caribbean, which she accomplished through 100 postal letters, about a serious illness, about loss, about the well-deserved popularity of her highly successful business, and about her finding new love at the age of 52.
This program will show you how to a write a new inspiring story for yourself about renewal, new adventures, the realization of long forgotten dreams, self-care and the possibilities of finding completeness.
All this in a beautiful setting, that has its own stories.
What we offer for the 4 days
(which we will shape to everyone’s needs, to maximize the learning)
Day. 1. – Space for connection and security
Arrival, getting to know each other, tuning in for the next days. In the evening we’ll be cooking together with Chef Eszti, who tells us her own story, how she changed her life in the past few years, and why she chose to create meals that are 80% plant based. This evening will be the start of many conversations, that matter.
Day 2. – Stories worth telling
On this day we’ll be focusing on old stories, that stop you from living the life you really want, and new stories that you wish to create instead. We will start our learning journey through the story of Catherine Dickens, who remained a successful entrepreneur, despite a serious illness, and is now an inspiring example for many. In the afternoon further conversations, and time off by the pool, or in the colourful vineyard.
Day 3.- Braving up
What do you already have and what do you still need for your desired story to become reality? Through an exciting program we’ll help you step out of your comfort zone, so that you can experience safety while pushing your limits, and to be able to act even if you’re scared. In the evening we’ll celebrate the day’s success stories at a local wine cellar, tasting delicious wines and a well-deserved dinner.
Day 4.- Making it happen with a new story
For your new goals to become reality, you will need a good plan, to help you see the smaller steps you need to take. We will help you figure out how this plan could be filled with comfort and joy. Lunch and goodbyes. For now. 😊

"Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don't exist in the human experience. We must walk into the arena, what it may be - a new relationship, an important meeting, our creative process, or a difficult family conversation - with courage and willingness to engage."

JUDIT TERJEKI
Szervezetfejlesztő, HR tanácsadó, cselekvésorientált csoportos coach és tréner vagyok. Közgazdász végzettségemmel közel 20 évet dolgoztam különböző vállalati (termelő – General Electric, Berwin Ruhagyár, kereskedelmi, illetve banki, szolgáltató) HR pozíciókban. Ezen tudásommal és 14 év vezetői tapasztalattal lettem szervezetfejlesztési tanácsadó, tréner és cselekvésorientált csoportos (Watson) coach. Sikereimet mindig csapatban értem el, hiszek a közösség erejében, az együtt gondolkodásban, a közös munkában. Számomra a legfontosabb a profi munkavégzés, az őszinteség és a partneri együttműködés. Misszióm: Együtt cselekedni és alkotni, a tudásomat átadni, tanítani. 2003-ban váltottam és léptem ki a nagyvállalati alkalmazotti világból. 2014-re alakítottam ki a szabadúszó létnek azt a ritmusát, amelyben most jól érzem magam. Olyan munkákat végzek, amelyekkel a személyes missziómat tudom megvalósítani és mellette van időm önmagamra, a barátaimra, a családomra és két fantasztikus unokámra. Hiszem, hogy ez az egyensúly fenntartható. Rengeteget tanultam és nagyon sok segítséget, támogatást kaptam ezen az úton. Szívesen osztom meg, és adom tovább amit tanultam és kaptam, és örömmel várom, hogy én is inspirálódjak a Ti történeteitek által!
