Dear Soul,
I’m delighted to share with you an experience shaped by my belief and proof from my own life, that encounters with people whose perspectives extend beyond our own can open up a whole new world of possibilities.
Taking place in the mountains of South Tyrol, it brings together Mac Macartney and a small circle of curious, open-minded people around one table, creating space for conversations that might reveal what we couldn’t have discovered on our own.
For many years, Mac has explored questions of leadership, meaning, courage, regeneration and our relationship with the living world. What draws me to him is not only the breadth of these subjects, but also the way he connects the questions of our contemporary world with wisdom that emerges from lived experience and a relationship with nature.
An encounter like this creates space for conversations in which we not only share what we already know, but also encounter ideas that allow us to see more than we could have seen on our own.
This is the kind of space I have created - intimate, open and alive with intellectual curiosity.
A space where what matters is not only what is said, but also what we hear, what we begin to question and what new connections emerge.
I invite you to be part of this experience.
Slower. Deeper. Wider.
Two evenings and two mornings together. A carefully curated circle of people. Time to discover what has remained unseen until now.
I am bringing together a small group of open-minded, curious people who value depth, curiosity, and conversations that stay with us long after they end.
No more than six of us will gather around the table with Mac Macartney.
This experience offers space to arrive, to listen, to reflect, to encounter unfamiliar perspectives, and to notice what becomes visible when we allow ourselves to slow down.
The more we see, the more opens up before us.
Life has shown me that our world expands when we meet people who have seen, experienced, or come to understand things that lie beyond the boundaries of our own experience.
Through my work, travels, volunteering, and conversations with people from different parts of the world whose lives were very different from my own, I came to understand the value of such encounters. They allow us to see what we hadn't noticed before, look differently at what we had taken for granted, and expand our sense of what is possible.
This is why I invite you to meet beyond the boundaries of our familiar perspective.
Sometimes, one encounter can expand your whole world.
I chose Mac Macartney not only for the subjects he explores, but also for what he brings from his own life experience - depth, dignity, and the ability to hold complex questions.
For several decades, Mac has explored leadership, meaning, courage, our relationship with the living world, and the questions of how we live together. His perspective has been shaped by diverse experiences, relationships, and questions that reach beyond the boundaries of any single field.
What might unfold when someone who usually speaks to audiences of thousands sits down at the same table with you - when you can ask questions, share your own thoughts, and let the conversation unfold naturally alongside others?
A table where we create together.
I am inviting no more than four people to join this experience. Each will bring their own questions, curiosity, or subjects they are exploring. There will be space to discuss them directly with Mac and with the others gathered around the table.
Your questions, experiences, and perspective become part of what we experience together and how it unfolds. Ideas can meet, challenge one another, and widen the field of what we are able to see.
The rhythm of the weekend
Friday
Arrival · Settling in · First gathering
Arrive, settle into the mountain surroundings and ease into the rhythm of the experience. Lunch is left open, to be enjoyed at your own pace.
As evening arrives, we gather around the table for our first dinner with Mac Macartney - the beginning of a shared exploration.
Saturday
A morning together · Space to explore · An evening around the table
We begin with a leisurely breakfast together, followed by a day with room to unfold naturally.
Between our shared gatherings, the mountains become an invitation of their own. Wander along forest trails, explore the landscape, discover yoga or forest bathing, enjoy the spa, or retreat into a little time of your own.
Nothing needs to be rushed, and not every moment needs to be filled. Conversations may continue long after they end; new impressions have time to settle, and unexpected connections can emerge.
In the evening, we return to the table for another dinner with Mac - allowing the conversation to deepen and take new directions.
Sunday
A final morning · Departure
We share breakfast before bringing the experience to a close and departing at an unhurried pace.
