The clear, expert leadership from Magdalena with the gentle, loving energy she brought to the day as well as the work we were tasked with made it a truly unique, insightful and beneficial day.
“Man surprises me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
Dalai Lama

The Grid Retreat Experience
The Grid™ Retreat is facilitated by me, Dr. Magdalena Bak-Maier, neuroscientist, Grid™ creator, and productivity and wellbeing expert. During the course of the day, I will demonstrate how you can realize your best life using the Grid™ method.
- The activities are rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience to engage different sensory modalities, the left and right brain and the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
- The retreat proceeds along an arc of work including settling in, exploring what is true, deepening the experience through felt sense work and somatic activities, making sense of things, pinpointing blocks, and connecting with internal resources to support you moving forward.
- While the overall methodology stays the same, each retreat has a different seasonal theme and reflects the needs and energy of the specific delegates. Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning, there is always something new to discover and gain.
