Designing Your Life - Netherlands

How would it feel to lead with love, feminine energy, care, intuition, and inspiration? To slow down just a little, to stay in the present moment instead of being three steps ahead? Anastasia Naumkina, our co-host, brought that calming, grounding energy. And together, as a collective, we created an experience filled with love. Love isn’t a soft or naïve word: it’s a conscious choice. It is possible to lead with both love and ambition, as they are not the opposite, but complementary. #DesigningYourLife #WomenRetreat #QuantumConstellations #Transformation #Leadership

We gathered in France for 6 days for a unique Transformative experience. The power of nature and silence reminded us how to slow down the pace and reconnect with ourselves. The combination of the Designing Your Life Framework, Archetypes, and work of Quantum Constellations enabled us to build trust, connections, friendships and to go way beyond common boundaries of our cognition. We questioned ourselves and our choices and together found more intentional answers. We worked on energy, limiting beliefs, and what we need to unlock to design a fully intentional life. We shared something unique, we slowed, we grew, and we reconnected with ourselves, with others, with nature. A heartfelt thank you to every woman who joined us. We want to repeat this soon and share it with as many women as possible! #DesigningYourLife #WomenRetreat #QuantumConstellations #Transformation #PersonalGrowth

“It was a journey of finding inspiration, but also confirmation. Understanding where I am, where I want to be, and whether I’m putting my energy in the right direction.” This is what Panos Sarlanis was seeking: not a radical change, but reassurance that he was investing his time and energy towards what mattered the most to him. He joined the workshop twice. The first time was to design a more intentional life for his family. The second time was to bring more energy and purpose into his personal routine. In both cases, the Designing Your Life framework offered him direction and structure and gave him a fresh perspective on his next steps. Very often, you do not need to be in a bad place to start working more intentionally on building your life.

"Life was great, but I had this thought… if I wake up in five years and everything looks exactly the same, would I be okay with that?" This question is what led Zuzka Rychlewski to take some time to reflect. She found herself in a rhythm that felt too familiar, predictable, and perhaps, limiting. Zuzka was looking for “Something practical. Something that shows me how to change things.” That's what she found in our 2-day Designing Your Life workshop. Through small but meaningful shifts, she gained clarity on what mattered most and created more balance in her everyday life. No drastic transformations, only more intention on what she wanted to put her energy into.

Together, we design what’s next. Behind every event, workshop, retreat, and story, there is a community of people who choose to dedicate their time to personal growth, development, and connection.  Our ambassadors don’t just represent Designing Your Life Netherlands; they help us create the space where we support professionals to pause, reflect, and design a more intentional life. And without our Community, we would not be the same. Your energy, support, and willingness to show up for each other are what keep us moving forward. We are grateful for what we have built together so far and for what is still to come. Thank you for helping shape what comes next, together.  Vassia Sarantopoulou Paulius Jakuitis Zuzka Rychlewski Christopher Sandler Fernanda Ivatiuk Alessandro Stefouli-Vozza Salome Chingaira Panos Sarlanis Charlotte Zimmermann Rebecca Ross Gwendolynn S.

"I'd plateaued. It didn't feel intentional - it felt like I had fallen backwards into my own life." Sometimes, even when everything seems to be in balance, we just feel stuck. That’s what happened to Christopher Sandler, a past participant from our workshop, who was looking for a more intentional way of living and working. His story isn't about a drastic reinvention: it's about becoming intentional and experimenting.

So often, society and external expectations force us to define ourselves through a single role, career, or identity. We follow one path and feel pressure to stick with it. What Tania Pescador took away from her journey with Designing Your Life was the reminder that “Within a lifetime we can just have many versions of ourselves.” We can grow, evolve, and reinvent ourselves many times throughout our lives. And we do not have to choose between one life and another. In Designing Your Life, we explore this through the Odyssey Plan: imagining different life scenarios and reflecting on how each one could align with our values and aspirations. These reflections helped Tania get unstuck from the limiting belief that she has to be only one thing. And this gave her a strong sense of renewal.

How can we be more productive without constantly feeling under pressure?

Who designed the life you are living today? In this podcast conversation, Adis Sophie Frémont, Sarlani and Monika Matuszewska explore what it means to intentionally design a meaningful life abroad. Together, they discuss career transitions, coaching, life design, and why clarity often comes from action rather than planning. A topic close to our hearts at Designing Your Life: You do not need a perfect plan. You need the courage to take the next step and learn from it. 🎙️ Listen to the episode and let us know: What is one aspect of your life you are intentionally designing right now?

Why join Designing Your Life? Panos Sarlanis, a participant from our past workshop, put it simply: "There is nothing to lose and a lot to gain." Each participant may come to Designing Your Life at a different stage in life. But what is common in the group is that everyone is open to learning more about themselves, and through the experiences, stories, and journeys of others.   The power of shared experiences can be truly inspiring and help you put your life and your choices into perspective. The workshop is a chance to pause, to step away from routines, reflect on what truly matters, and recognize how far we've already come. Because designing a meaningful life isn't about finding the perfect answer. It's about creating the space to ask better questions. #DesigningYourLife #PersonalGrowth #LifeDesign #Workshop #DesigningYourLifeNetherlands
