The Break That Changes Everything
Free your soul – in Ghana
Do you long to escape from the routine of everyday life and finally be there just for yourself?
Are you ready to rediscover who you truly are?
I invite you to embark on a journey to awaken what is most alive within you.
Energy: Earth – Water
Yoga and Surf Levels: Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced
Do you feel a pull toward the African continent? Curiosity, adventure, or a deeper, inner longing?
Ghana has everything you’re looking for: pristine dream beaches, vibrant cities, colorful villages, and people who welcome you with open arms and warm smiles. This country is truly special – peaceful, with a well-developed tourist infrastructure, a rich music and arts scene, and stunning national parks. The poignant history of the slave trade is still alive in the old forts, leaving a lasting, emotional impact.
Join me on the journey of a lifetime!
We’ll stay in one of the coziest accommodations in Ghana, right by the beach, with an outdoor tree shower and a beautiful yoga shala. Together, we will embark on an inner journey through sound, yoga, and meditation. Let the energy of this place inspire you and enjoy a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
You’re guaranteed a dose of fun and lightness – whether you’re surfing, spending time with the local children, or sharing a relaxed moment with the village moms.
Yoga
Stretch your body, embrace your soul, and greet the day with yoga and meditation in this special shala, surrounded by centuries-old trees and with a view of the beach.
The yoga is suitable for all levels, and the small group size allows for personalized attention, ensuring your individual needs are met.
Surfing
For us, it’s the most beautiful sport in the world – completely in the moment, full of fun, with the sea washing away all your worries.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer, with a perfect beach break right outside the door and one of the best point breaks in Ghana just a five-minute walk away, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Workshop
Spend the morning in the safe, nurturing space we’ll create together in our workshops.
This could be the most precious time for you to connect with your true desires and needs. You’ll encounter blocks that have held you back and learn to resolve them through loving acceptance and guided exercises.
We will draw on the principles of Nonviolent Communication, my training with Eckhart Tolle, my sound healing studies, and Reiki to provide you with a deep and holistic approach to self-discovery.
In this way, you can heal, grow, and find your inner center in a safe and supportive environment.
Fun
The afternoons are yours to do as you wish – whether that’s nothing at all or diving into a new adventure: surfing, exploring the local culture, relaxing on the beach, or taking a long walk to the next colorful fishing village or hidden beach.
Accomodation
Our home for the week is the beautiful eco-lodge that my long-time surf friend Peter and his wife Julia have created from scratch. Check out their website
Wake up to the soothing sound of the sea and the songs of birds, while you relax in your lovingly decorated room. Shower under the enormous roots of a centuries-old tree and indulge in a diverse and delicious cuisine.
The small, laid-back surf village is just a two-minute walk away – perfect for souvenir shopping, chatting with the local moms, or mingling with the local children who love to spend time with you and share their stories.

“Dear Lena, your coaching on the topic -saying no- touched me very much. You have a zest for life that inspires me again and again.

“Dear Lena ,
I am very happy to have experienced such a wonderful retreat in Morocco together with you and the other great girls. I learned during this trip that it is not bad to let go of things and try new things like yoga :).
I am grateful for all the beautiful moments and that you showed me a completely different Morocco than the one I got to know 20 years ago.
The people here are just so lovely and helpful and even if you don’t always speak the same language, you can tell from their friendly looks that you are welcome. All the encounters and experiences such as drinking tea with Sheriff at the campfire on the beach, sand boarding in the dunes, riding out together, as well as the trip with Mohamed to Paradise Valley, make our friendship even more valuable and make my heart glow.Thank you for being an energetic woman with all your ideas and dreams and for having such a great man by your side. Together you are such a great, unbeatable team. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life with us so closely.
Love to you”
“Thank you for showing me what I can do for myself. Thanks that I can be so open with you.”
