Unplug 48 presents
TRANSFORM
A deepening self-exploration experience
27 November - 2 December 2024 | Msambweni, Kenya
YOUR PATH TO A LIGHTER LIFE
IT’S TIME TO SET YOURSELF FREE
Life should be lived. Yet, often you feel that you are not fully alive. You’ve made choices that are weighing on you and you feel limited by responsibilities you carry.
Life becomes heavy because you carry weights from your historical self; the way you grew up and how you learnt to look al the world. You’ve developed a way to survive, but this prevents you to thrive.
What if you could finally let go of some limiting patterns and grow up into the person you really would like to be? Imagine how liberating it must be to let go of all this needless baggage.
IS THIS YOU?
Successful, but looking for more
LIFE CATCHES UP WITH YOU
✓ You are a CEO, entrepreneur or executive leader who is praised for your professional successes.
✓ You enjoy this success, but you feel there must be more. The price you pay to maintain your status is high.
✓ Your agenda is packed and you feel quality time for yourself is often missing.
✓ You long for more balance and lightness in what you do, without giving up your ambition.
✓ You are curious about how others experience this and looking for a sounding board on your situation.
✓ Maybe you are also facing an important professional or personal decision and look to spend some dedicated reflection time.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Leaving for the airport, I felt rejuvenated and ready to confront my challenges head-on. During my layover I began crafting a concrete action plan and upon arrival, I felt as though I had newfound wings. Since then, I’ve had an unwavering sense that I can overcome any obstacle in the world. In fact, over the past two weeks, I’ve taken more decisive steps than I have in the past five years.”
KRISTA V.

Carlien Cavens
RETREAT DESIGNER | Has a natural gift to reconnect people to their inner strength.
As a former consultant for McKinsey & Co, Carlien knows how important it is to unplug from time to time. In her career she has met many successful, but uninspired leaders. She firmly believes that self mastery and purpose are the key elements that distinguish great from good leaders. Both qualities require time and attention. The result is a lighter way of being, leading and living. By creating Unplug 48 she set about to guide leaders in this process. Carlien is an ICF accredited coach and has a natural gift to reconnect people to their inner strength.
Fun fact: Carlien has a horse called “Djerico” which she got as a gift from a Russian lady she met in Poland .

James Bampfield
WISDOM COACH | Not your guru, but a very wise chap
James has traveled the world to find himself, which was certainly not a given after the most traditional upbringing you can imagine at boarding school and Cambridge University. His journey made him one of Belgian's most renowned leadership coaches and founder of the CEO council. He naturally bridges the world of spirituality with the everyday context we live in. What's sure is that he will challenge you to look deeper into the person you are and the person you could be.
Fun fact: James has written the book “The Discipline of Pleasure".

More questions?
I am not comfortable doing this with a group of strangers.
You are not alone in this. We attach the greatest importance to psychological safety. This starts with a careful selection of the participants and continues throughout the entire program. Many former participants have testified that, hindsight, it felt much safer to do the program with complete strangers than with familiar faces. We highly recommend doing this program in group as it really adds a lot of value. However if you do feel this is not for you, contact us about a solo retreats, where you’ll have a 1-on-1 experience with one of our coaches.
What level of comfort can I expect?
You will sleep in a comfortable private room with ocean view and eat “à la carte” meals three times a day. In case you have any allergies, let us know and we will accommodate. We believe that physical wellbeing is a prerequisite to mental growth. It is not a back-to-basics experience.
Can I use my phone during the retreat?
We believe a total disconnection from the outside world generates the most profound insights and results. You will kindly be requested to hand in all devices at the start of the retreat. You’ll get them back at the end of the program. We do have an emergency number in case you need to be reached.
Is this a yoga & meditation retreat?
No. We might do a yoga or mediation session, however this will be less than 10% of the retreat program.
