Flow Forward Retreat

RECLAIM YOUR MOST POWERFUL STATE 
IN JUST THREE DAYS.

RECLAIM YOUR MOST POWERFUL STATE  IN JUST THREE DAYS.

You know those days, right?

  • You come home from work and you so totally feel it. Mentally, physically, emotionally wiped out!
  • It seems like there isn’t an ounce of creative juice left in you.
  • You remember that you’re really good at what you do but just then, the joy you used to feel seems to be gone. Vanished. Nowhere to be found.
  • That little voice keeps getting louder and louder. The voice that screams What are you doing? Why are you working this hard? What happened?

IS IT THE JOB OR IS IT YOU?

Even when a work environment sucks, the answer is always a little bit of both. 

And you’re responsible for the YOU part. In every facet of your life.

I have studied peak performance for a few decades now. First while training actors in New York City, now while helping successful business executives to be even more exceptional. Here’s what is waiting for you on the other side of drain and exhaustion: The experience of FLOW.

  • When we’re so immersed in what we’re doing that we lose all track of time. 
  • When we complete a task and we have energy left to spare. 
  • When our spirits are uplifted by what we have just done! 
  • Yes, that’s FLOW. 

Claim it! States of FLOW are not a mere lucky accident (common thinking is wrong, once again). And creating more states of FLOW in your work and life is not an impossible dream. Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi, author of the classic Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, has proven it without a shadow of doubt.

IMAGINE AN ENTIRE WEEKEND WHERE YOU LEARN SPECIFIC WAYS OF ACTIVATING MORE FLOW!

WHERE: VILLA VENEZIA IN FT. LAUDERDALE

"I don’t know what happened here – there were horses, open spaces, amazing conversations, soul searching, champagne, meditation, leadership exercises, new friends made – and I definitely left BETTER for it all. Thank you. I had the most incredible experience at Achim's FLOW FORWARD Retreat."

Lisa Lejuwaan

VP of Sales, Marinus Pharma

"Taking a wholehearted plunge into Achim's FLOW FORWARD Retreat led to experiences and memories to draw upon for a lifetime. It connected me to unrealized potential – this seemingly formidable task was natural and fun with Achim!"

Ryan Loftus

CEO at Lofthouse LLC

"Exactly what I needed when I needed it, without me knowing! I left the FLOW FORWARD Retreat with a new confidence and energy. New ideas, new friends, deepened relationships and a HUGE smile on my face. It’s a place and open space to rejuvenate."

Sandy Vos

Director of R&D at NXP Semiconductors

"The FLOW FORWARD Retreat changed my career trajectory. I realized what was keeping me from doing what I really wanted to do. FEAR. The experience was instrumental in helping me find my rhythm, flow, and happiness."

Elizabeth Gubrud-Howe

CEO at Pacific Die Casting Corporation

"Achim's FLOW FORWARD Retreat gave me an “overflowing glass” feeling unlike anything I have experienced before. FLOW FORWARD created safe and brave space for strangers to become fast friends. We were present with ourselves and one another, breaking bread and experiencing the healing power of horses.  The amazing two and a half days helped me harness more forward motion in my life.  I am deeply grateful."

Rosemary Ravinal

President at RMR Communications

"I went into the FLOW FORWARD weekend caught up in my current client work and the pressure to get things done. I left refreshed and re-energized to live a life with more flow. The people that Achim pulled together were incredible, and we were all able to draw on the collective wisdom of the group. I can’t wait for the next retreat!"

Sal Silvester

Founder and CEO, 5.12 Solutions Consulting Group

"Achim's FLOW FORWARD Retreat was my – by far – best investment of money and time for fine-tuning my leadership and connection skills in the last decade. I was refreshed in ways I couldn’t have imagined – and renewed to sing my gifts into service. Thank you, Achim, for so masterfully arranging people, place, play and pacing!"

Elaine Nieberding

Founder, Lead With TLC

"Achim’s FLOW FORWARD Retreat takes you on a gentle ride – and it goes deep. Thought-provoking exchanges with intellectual leaders, remarkable conversations with amazing people, and a gorgeous venue. I left the event uplifted and inspired; FLOW FORWARD helped me grow as a professional and private person!"
