“The Greater Soul moves in only one direction, and that is to bring into union

Do you need to reconnect with yourself?
The external world puts a lot of pressure on individuals to appear successful and happy. In the pursuit of something ‘out there’, we can sometimes become scattered and lose connection to what’s inside. As historian, philosopher and best-selling author of ‘
My work shows that thriving lives happen when we re-connect within. A retreat allows the time and space to pause, regain clarity and figure out
- what is and where life finds us,
- how to move forward, and
- who exactly is moving.
At Make Time Count we create powerful, time-efficient, and deeply moving retreats designed to align mind, heart, body, and spirit using neuroscience, positive psychology, and powerful and tested methodologies for lasting behaviour change. Together, they gently shift internal blocks to progress, heal conflict, and restore wellbeing. When we integrate within, we feel more confident, wise and at ease.
Reconnect with your true centre of power and become more responsive and in tune with life.
The Experience
The day is facilitated by me, Dr. Magdalena Bak-Maier. Using multi-sensory activities (writing, movement, musical instruments, breath work, drawing and guided meditation) specially designed to tap the mind, heart, body, and spirit, I help you work with what is true for you to bring:
- vital awareness and insights,
- tools and techniques you can use again and again,
- essential personal development.
Learning to work in this manner will make your life calmer, more fruitful and fun.
Schedule
The Heart and Mind Integration Retreat runs from 9:30 to 17:30. Delicious food and drinks are on offer along with fresh air breaks and the opportunity to retreat into a sacred meditation space if you wish. Four 90min segments offer plenty of time for deeper work while the group atmosphere creates a warm, safe and welcoming fellowship. The goal of the day is to leave you having more insights and the necessary skills to create a clear plan of action.
Proven Techniques
The activities are rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience to engage the left and right brain at different levels. I created and tailored them specifically for integration work.
Each Retreat is Unique
Retreats take place throughout the year. While the integration theme remains constant, each retreat has a different theme and varied activities that match the needs and energy of the group, the yearly cycle and the latest developments in my work as a master practitioner. Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning, there is always something new to gain.
Upcoming Heart and Mind Integration Retreats
What to expect?
All attendees seek the same thing as you: Betterment.
The retreat mixes focused activities with guided debriefs. Expect to work on your own, in pairs and small groups. The day recognises that sometimes we learn more by listening to others and other times by sharing our stories. The friendly atmosphere and varying experience of fellow attendees is an ideal way to build new perspectives. Even if you have reservations about interacting with strangers, keep in mind that witnessing and hearing each others’ progression through the day inspires everyone.
The day retreat is perfect if you are seeking to:
- Reconnect with yourself
- Obtain a fresh perspective or vital insight for growth
- Explore the inner workings of your nervous system
- Figure out what is blocking you from progress
- Recover motivation and flow.
Nothing beats trying things out for yourself. Book your place today. I accept commissions to facilitate retreats around the world. Past and current projects.

Comments from previous attendees
“The work is fun and subtle yet powerful and intense. I found myself wholly integrated within the group as I have never experienced before. I had a real conception with myself and others which hasn’t shifted. I have fallen in love with myself and others again. I am on the journey of forgiven which is happening now through dreams. I am re energised and excited about my life and others. Amazingly powerful!- Debby
