Who is the target group?
Anyone wishing to realize their full potential
You are rich in experience and wish to pause, refuel and regain focus.

A small, dedicated group
To ensure an optimally rewarding experience, a MY Space group has a maximum of six participants.

Testimonials
Testimonials from participants
The Inspiratorium was the most wonderful, inspiring setting on the beautiful island of Samsø, which welcomed us with sensory treats, bright yellow canola fields, clear blue skies and lush greenery. Claus’s culinary delights only added to this sensory explosion. The 24-hour silent retreat opened my senses in a new way. THANK YOU for designing MY Space.
MY Space facilitates self-development in every way. The process was carefully designed to gradually enable greater insights into what each of us contains and, especially, what changes will make a real difference. I leave this week cheerful and optimistic – and with much more self-insight than I had when I arrived.
MY Space meant almost stopping the clock completely in order to notice things that are otherwise easily overlooked and ignored in a hectic world. MY Space opened my senses. MY Space gave me new, valuable insights. MY Space, Lotte, Mette and my team mates gave me invaluable gifts that I will take with me as I move forward.
MY Space gave me a special space with time to listen to myself. A space to pause, reflect, learn about myself and make choices. Mette and Lotte created this space for me and the other participants. I was gently challenged. A safe space with time, calm and challenges in a setting full of fragrances, flavours and mental expanse at the Inspiratorium helped the insights to settle in. Today, after MY Space, I am much more aware of the choices I make all the time.
Maybe it say it all that this is my second visit to MY Space. An amazing and unique programme that provides a setting, tools and guidance for me to work with myself in the most gentle and loving way. I leave with new insights and understandings that I will take me, going forward, and I warmly recommend this little gem of a programme.
For me, MY Space was an eye-opener. It was an opportunity to discover how I want to live my life, going forward, with everything I have experienced until now. Lotte and Mette’s kind nudging gently guided me into new insights, a better understanding of my barriers and possibilities with an eye to the future. It was an in-depth journey and undoubtedly the best thing I have done for myself in a very long time.
MY Space and five days of immersive reflection may seem like a luxury treat for the soul, a ‘nice to have’ experience. But it is much more than that. It deals with the most fundamental resource we have: time and what you want to do with the time you have left in your life.
MY Space offers a chance to address and work with essential and fundamental dilemmas and assumptions that act as daily obstacles in leadership – and in life overall. It is a unique experience to receive kind and professional guidance through five intense days of intense and hard work – which seemed to just fly by.
MY Space provided time and structure for examining where we come from, where we are now and where we are headed. In a leadership role, it can be hard to find the time, space and conversation partners to take a step back and set a new course. MY Space gave me this opportunity.
This week provided a unique space for understanding, contemplation, and new insights. It was wonderful to experience both silence and slow time – and to have the opportunity to reflect on life, career and what the future calls for. In silence, in conversations and in facilitated processes.

MY Space is a game-changer for personal development. The chance to work in depth and at a slow pace in a beautiful setting and with competent guidance can pave the way for new insights and sustainable change.
MY Space allowed me to focus on what matters most to me and taught me how I can hold on to it in a hectic everyday life. MY Space also gave me tools that I actively use in my own personal development and in relation to my department and staff.

For your company
OUR Space
– mobilizing corporate potential
Do you need a pause to check in and refocus together with your team? In OUR Space – Mobilizing Corporate Potential, we focus on the team in the organizational context. What is meaningful to each of us? What is meaningful to us as a team? Are we realizing our full potential? Are we helping each other realize our full potential? What routines and habits do we have, as a group, that are not helpful to us? What changes do we need to make? What new routines should we develop and establish?
Working in depth with yourself – and your role in your team – together with your team is a powerful and impactful process. It lets you engage with what is meaningful to you as an individual – and what is meaningful to you as a group. Together, we will explore how you can achieve the largest possible overlap between what motivates the individual, what the group needs and what the organization wants.
We meet beforehand to discuss what is especially important to you and what you would like to take away from the week. Based on this, we design a process tailored to your needs and goals – and guide you safely through.
