1/2-day introduction seminar: ‘How are you… really?’, looking at the balanced life
Chapter 1: 5 day retreat
Chapter 2: Business transition
Chapter 3: Involving family, friends, colleagues and teams
When did you last ask yourself that question? Last week, last year, last decade, ever?
Life these days is fast paced, we get up, perform, relax (so we think), and then repeat. It’s often been described as the treadmill of life and so many of us are stuck on it. We do the same things the same way and stay well within our comfort zones. It’s so much easier and takes less effort.
And there is nothing wrong with that – as long as you’re happy, fulfilled and are following the path you want to follow.
If you’re not happy, fulfilled or even know what path you’re following then it’s time to stop and consider.
In our one-day seminar ‘How are you….really?’ we aim to answer that very question with you. We’ll have health and coaching speakers in the room guiding you towards answering some very important life questions and helping you seek out some of the warning signs that might lead you to considering a different path or a new chapter to your life.
At NextChapterRetreats, we give you a blank sheet of paper and the time, space and attention to write your next chapter. Our one-day introduction seminar is just the beginning of the exciting journey, beyond the crossroads to your next chapter.
Uncover. Create. Change.
Located in the breath-taking-beautiful West coast of Ireland in Co Kerry and based at the stunning Sheen Falls Lodge, these 2 days provide so much more than simply 2 days away from the busy-ness and pressure.
After a cheese and wine-tasting reception and welcome meal, the first full day starts with a morning in the Derrynane National Park, where a local storyteller brings to life local folklore stories before free time to think, walk, and explore the forest and beach and Abbey Island.
We return to the Retreat Hotel after lunch, where Irish authors Christine Breen and Niall Williams share their insights into local Irish story-writing over drinks and supper.
The next day is devoted to examining the stories we tell about our own lives and the impact they have on us and those around us. What does this tell us about a crossroads we’re currently facing and how to find the way forward?
At NextChapterRetreats, we give you a blank sheet of paper and the time, space and attention to write your next chapter.
Split into an initial 3 days and then about 10 weeks later, a further 2 days, our flagship programme takes you beyond the crossroads from confusion to clarity. Starting with the stories we tell about ourselves and our past, we look at them to spot the trends and themes that will create our Next Chapter, that shows us at our best and most fulfilled. After some Preparation work, part 1 looks at what happens if we retell our stories from a different perspective and what that shows about our values and priorities when we’re at our best. These helps create your LifeStoryCanvas, with the strands for your NextChapter. After some weeks for further thinking and planning, part 2 helps you write that Next Chapter and an action plan to help you live it.
All businesses have their own stories that either unite and empower or weigh down. It might be about their Founder. Or the biggest deal they ever won. Or their biggest disaster. When businesses need to transition, they need to look again and these stories and also begin to write a new one. With our specialist knowledge and experience in helping business successfully transition and our expertise in powerful story writing and story telling, this programme can help your business successfully transition and create the NextChapter.
In our retreat environment we take you from the uncertainty of the major crossroads to the present and look at the stories you tell about your past to uncover you at your best, create the next chapter where you’ll refocus on where you want to go next, and then support you as you understand and make the change to get there successfully.
As I’ve re-invented myself many times, I have negotiated many turning-points in my life, including becoming a writer and seeing the power of story in helping to make sense of our lives.
“ When you’re intending to evolve yourself and look forward to what ‘the next chapter’ can hold you need to do this in non-chaotic safe and these are what the retreats have always been”
“ I found the retreats provided time and space to focus on myself and the use of classic story telling helped to identify my strengths, show me at my best and able to consider my next steps.”

The retreats as a business leader provides provide me with the opportunity to step away from the day to day operational side of the business. Having the opportunity to go and do that in relaxed surroundings with a specific programme that is tailored to what I want to achieve, also working with a number of different peers provides a fantastic opportunity, and is why I think the retreat is such a wonderful thing to be able to do.
Having been on the Next Chapter Retreat the 3 key things that I have taken from it are – Reframe the narrative, embrace the mess, and get things done. The things that I have most enjoyed from the retreat are having some time to step away from everyday life and having time to reflect and consider.
In my career as a business coach, mentor and consultant, I’ve encountered many people at transition points in their lives, transitions which can be bewildering and painful. I’ve encountered them in my own life and know that a guide and map like NextChapterRetreats can be extremely helpful.
