A week for body, mind & soul.
WELCOME TO A FREEDIVING PARADISE
Northern Sardinia
Welcome to a week of wide-open horizons, the sea, diving in, drifting, discovering and savouring every moment.
A beautiful blend of experiences awaits you in this week for body, mind & soul. Relax, explore freediving and reconnect with yourself amid Sardinia’s breathtaking natural beauty.
This week is all about you.
We find stillness in the water, through yoga and breathwork sessions, drift on the sparkling sea, savour Sardinian food and take in the breathtaking scenery as we hike around the beautiful Maddalena archipelago.
Time to savour, space to recharge and your perfect balance of activity and relaxation help you feel deeply at home within yourself.
Recharge,
Let your soul unwind and rediscover yourself. Surrender to the azure waters. And explore the breathtaking landscapes of northern Sardinia together.
This week is an invitation to turn inward and listen to your breath. To immerse yourself in the stillness of the water and rediscover yourself through freediving.
Over these five days, explore and deepen your connection with your body through yoga, breathwork and freediving. Awaken your senses. Learn to consciously feel and listen to your body again.
Reconnect with your body and fall in love with your breath all over again. Discover how your breath can help you relax deeply, release tension, find calm and feel energised.
Immerse yourself in your own stillness and discover the beauty and strength of simply being with yourself.
Experience the lightness of floating in the water, free from everyday duties and responsibilities. From the shallows to deeper waters, feel your trust in yourself grow with every metre.
Discover how freediving opens your senses to new ways of seeing and feeling.
During the freediving sessions, you have time to practise, train or simply let yourself drift. One afternoon, we immerse ourselves in Sardinia’s unspoilt nature on a hike, giving our bodies time to recover and preparing ourselves mentally for the diving days ahead.
The sea — crystal-clear azure waters with far-reaching visibility. Striking rock formations, corals and vibrant fish life.
A succession of sheltered bays gives us plenty of dive sites to choose from, depending on the weather and wind.
We also spot dolphins from time to time, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Our base for this retreat is Santa Teresa Gallura, a small, welcoming Sardinian coastal town nestled among dramatic rock formations. Here, the sea is ever-present, and you can feel the rhythm of Sardinian life.
Who will guide you?
Hi, I’m Conny!
I’m a freediving instructor, coach, author and founder of Arise.
The water has been my home for many years. For me, freediving has never been about the numbers.
To me, the water is a place where you can let go like nowhere else. A place of calm, openness, boundlessness and lightness.
Here, I combine freediving with meditative practices, yoga, breathwork and meditation.
My gift is helping you reconnect with your strength, joy, self-confidence and enthusiasm for life through the water.
As a water lover, I now live in Sardinia with my family. Together with our team, I guide you on this mental, spiritual and physical journey back to yourself — in Sardinia, Germany and other beautiful places with a special energy.
I look forward to meeting you,
With love, Conny
