๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐พ๐ฏ๐:
Floating You was born through the ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ of my โoldโ identity. The identity the system gave me, not my soulโs one.
โ We are talking about being burnt out from corporate life: 10 years in the international music industry. Personal life crisis, a lot of painful endings, physical sickness. 2018 felt like an end point in so many ways.
๐ซSociety had this playbook of expectations: stay in my stable job, keep the long-term relationship, and eventually settle down. But I felt like I was drowning under the weight of those โshoulds.โ
๐ญ Being mix-raced, I had a constant pull towards the other side of the world. I was born in Germany, but desperately dreaming of island life in Sri Lanka, the homeland of my father.
๐๐ฝAs a little girl, I loved seeing my dad praying to the Hindu God Krishna, the โall attractiveโ, he stands for ominous Love all the time and everywhere.
๐Today, I do that too.
๐๐ฝโโ๏ธOnce I managed to step out, I embarked on a long healing and self discovery journey - and Iโm still on it, at this present day. As once the awareness to self & surroundings expands, there is no looking back. It always continues.โจโจโ๏ธ All the tools & practices we share at Floating You are coming from this โ8 years ride to selfโ.
๐ซ A journey through Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Morocco - very important places of my little โpilgrimageโ.
๐ Through Surfing, Yoga (the indian way!), Meditation, Breathwork, Sacred Sound Frequency, Somaticโs, Self Development, Recreational Ceremonies & more - I managed to strip down many layers that society gave me.
๐ชWhatโs left is a body, spirit and purpose.
Loving my shadows and loving my light.

10 years ago, I was deep in the music industry.
Travelling the world, working with incredible artists, constantly moving from one thing to the next.
From the outside, it looked exciting.
And in many ways, it was & Ofcourse I also learned a lot.
But somewhere in between, I realised I had slowly lost connection to myself.
The deeper I got into that world, the further away I felt from who I really was โ and from what I was truly meant to do here ๐
For a long time, success was something I measured through work, achievement, approval and how things looked from the outside.
It took time to unlearn that. A lot of time.
And even more time to come back to myself again.
If I could send a message to my younger self, it would be this:
Itโs your story, girl.
Your book ๐ ! You can go through a plot twist whenever you want.
You are allowed to change.
You are allowed to choose differently.
And self-trust will always be one of your greatest assets ๐ค
Who feels this ?? โจ
You can create the life youโve always wanted if you let go of the plan, let go of your self expectations.
When you take a breath, some time outside of your routine, connecting to what you really want, thatโs when you get the most inspiration,
and the learning never stopsโฆ
What an incredible Secret Spot Retreat ๐ค

COMM - UNITY ๐ซ
means a lot. means everything.
Do you relate when I share that the older we get the โharderโ it is to authentically connect ?
And with that I mean, to feel safe enough to be vulnerable.
Itโs not our โmasksโ that let us connect to each other deeply, itโs the vulnerability that unites.
For some reason we all grow up thinking we need to proof how good & great we are. And only if we are, we are seen and respected and LOVED.
Well.. thatโs a lie ๐
Itโs the perfect imperfection that we all share.
So our space is all about being able to express real & honest. Laugh and cry. Feel and say it all.
Iโm so so happy about the community that has been forming through the years - I canโt tell you enough !! It means the world ๐ค๐๐ฝ

A Secret Spot in Indonesia ๐ค
Somewhere where peace can be found,
where connections are made,
where we surf, we laugh, we heal.
We connect to ourselves in a way that can only be achieved in a place that feels safe.
To everyone who joined us this time, I canโt thank you enough for sharing this energy and trusting me to bring you to a space like this ๐

The real world feels very, very far away.
Which is exactly the point.
This is what we mean when we say a retreat changes your baseline. Itโs not that you escape reality. Itโs that youโre reminded what reality can actually feel like when you strip away everything that isnโt essential.
We donโt want to go home yet either ๐ค

The Second Secret Spot Retreat of 2026. With a group of people who trusted me enough to know that Iโd bring them to where they needed to be.
Trusted me enough to travel here without knowing the destination,
enough to invest in a new version of themselves.
A version of themselves who is allowed to slow down,
to heal, through the ocean and the connections that they build here.
Iโm eternally grateful for the Floating You family, both the old and the new faces ๐ค
