“Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course.”

John C. Maxwell

 

A Conscious Leadership Sailing Retreat

Sailing the Winds of Life -
Learn to navigate yourself to better lead your crew

The ability to lead yourself is the key to success in any area of life. Whether you are trying to achieve personal goals or lead others towards a common goal, self-leadership is essential. If we can lead ourselves effectively, we will be much better equipped to lead others.

Self-leadership is not about being perfect; it is about being authentic and genuine. It’s about being real with ourselves and with others. It is about being brave enough to face our fears and embrace our flaws. It is about being human.

This is for you, if you...

There are many different paths that we can take in life, and it can be difficult to know which one is the right one for us. However, there is one path that is always available to us, and that is the path of the heart. 

One of the most important aspects of leadership is setting an example of self leadership for others to follow. If we want others to be successful, we need to show them how it is done. We need to be optimistic and confident in our abilities, and we need to be willing to put in the work required to achieve our goals.

When we learn to trust life and surrender in the presence of what is, we give others the motivation and inspiration they need to achieve their successes.

We show them that it is possible to overcome challenges and achieve great things. We instill in them the belief that they can do anything they set their hearts to. This accounts for our personal lives as much as for our professional lives.

Embodying authenticity and vulnerability,  a save environment is created in which others get inspired to do the same. We create a space of safety and support. We become a community of leaders, working together to make the world a better place. Through embodying authenticity and vulnerability, an environment of safety and support is created, allowing others to commit to their hearts and be inspired to work in community.

Sailing & Ocean

The metaphor of sailing can be applied to many different areas of life. It is all about learning how to control the sails (your thoughts and actions) to navigate the waves (the ups and downs of life). Just as a ship needs wind to move forward, you need motivation and direction to make progress in life.

A sailboat represents freedom, companionship, peace, and beauty. Being on the ocean is enjoyment, challenge, and journey to new locations. It allows for deep connection with nature - sun, water, wind, and weather. Sailing is meditation. Harness the power of the ocean!

Leadership

The winds of change are always blowing. And as a leader, it's your job to set a course and navigate through those changes. But before you can lead others, you have to learn to lead yourself.

The ability to lead yourself is the key to success in any area of life. Whether you are trying to achieve personal goals or lead others towards a common goal, self-leadership is essential. If we can lead ourselves effectively, we will be much better equipped to lead others.

Dominik R. Graef

Dominik R. Graef

Your facilitator
Successful multi-entrepreneur and financially independent millionaire free spirit.

At the age of 17 during his apprenticeship, Dominik realized that there must be a way of living life in a creative and free way. Not bound to a 9-to-5 job with limited vacation and lousy income. After finishing his apprenticeship he decided to be self-employed and took full responsibility for his life. He started travelling the world, experiencing and learning about all kinds of different ways of living. He stayed curious and invested into himself attending workshops and seminars in a very wide range of interests… just to name a few: Massage Therapist, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Landscaping Master, Permaculture Designer, EcoVillage Training, Wim Hof Instructor and close friend of Wim Hof teaching for many years on his side, Transformation Coach (Robert Betz), attending all Tony Robbins events, spending many months in ashrams, sitting more than 400 days in silent Meditation Retreats and living & learning with shamans in the amazon rainforest.

Along the way, Dominik successfully founded several companies ranging from agriculture, a hotel in Mexico (www.arigalan.com) to e-commerce (dattelbaer.com). He is a successful investor in all kinds of asset classes and has always spotted trends very early on.

Dominik has led a few thousand people through various retreats and workshops and gave speeches to large audiences.

This is the first event in which Dominik blends his entrepreneurial experience, his comprehensive training background, life experience and inner growth and discovery into one training. It is your chance to tap into his seemingly infinite source of energy, wisdom and knowledge and experience it in a very intimate setting for six days!

What to expect!

This is a quote I once came across and it’s something that I’ve always kept in mind:

„The winds of change are always blowing. And as a leader, it’s your job to set a course and navigate through those changes. But before you can lead others, you have to learn to lead yourself.

Self-leadership is the key to success in any area of life. If you do not have the tools to deal with your own emotions, thoughts, and actions, then you will never be able to effectively lead others.

Fortunately, self-leadership is a skill that can be learned. And once you master it, you’ll be able to navigate through any situation life throws at you. 

 

Self-leadership is the rewarding path of the hero. It is a path that will help us to grow and develop as individuals, and it is a path that will help us to make a difference in the lives of others. Self-leadership requires practice and persistence. If you can master it, you will be able to achieve anything you set your mind to.

SEAvolutionary Yachts and Crews

SEAvolutionary procures yachts from verified yacht charter companies.

We will always try our best to ensure high quality, comfortable 5 cabin yachts with great equipment and newer years of production. 

All the yachts are maintained to a high standard and contain the equipment necessary to meet best local industry standards.

The living spaces are deluxe and soothing, perfect for an exceptional getaway. Every yacht has a contemporary and sophisticated interior that features clean lines and spacious open layout and offers a harmonious design for easy handling and enjoying life on board.

Sharing a yacht with like-minded strangers, adapting the typical everyday lifestyle to limited conditions in an unknown environment is an adventure of a lifetime. 

Accommodation is usually in double sized bed cabins on a sharing basis. Single cabin options may be available depending on the boat. Swaying at anchor, you will be gently rocked to sleep.

To make sure you will have a great experience on board, we do our best to organize the group, accommodation and catering according to your needs and wishes. Spending a week’s time on the ocean in such a special group setting is best suited to make memories and friends for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

While it might appear expensive compared to pure sailing trips, you should not forget, this is not a sailing holiday or crewed charter. This is a high-intensity transformational experience. We allow a maximum of six participants only to make this a very intimate setting with the lead crew and to maximize the effect for each participant. 

Everything is taken care of. You will enjoy the comfort of a modern sailboat of 50+ft, which will be our floating retreat center. We will cater you with healthy organic food from local produce.  

If you are looking for a nice week of sailing only, we suggest you look elsewhere. There a many many good and trustworthy providers out there for beautiful crewed charters. If you want to know where to turn for this, just ask and we will let you know – seriously and without any bad feelings.

No. This training is definitely suitable for everyone. 

However, we suggest you come with an open mind and open heart to explore new perspectives on your life and career. 

You might feel unfamiliar with the practices and tools we apply during the training and we want you to know that this is absolutely fine. It will be you to decide what insights, tools and practices you want to implement in your daily life and which you do not want to carry on. 

This is an unobligational offering to learn new tools to cope with situations in your life and to experience new perspectives on how to view things. We are not teaching a doctrine we expect you to follow in order to succeed. 

You might or you might not get seasick. However, Mallorca is known to be a sailing area which is very suitable for beginners. 

Crew-welfare has a high priority for SEAvolutionary and we will do our best, to make you feel well taken care of aboard. 

As the primary goal of the retreat is the transformational training, we will keep the sailing activities to a level, that supports the training. We are not aiming for over-ambitious sailing here and we will do our best to avoid any conditions that make you uncomfortable.  We are not pushing it, but will make this sailing experience a relaxing time for beginners and regular sailors alike. 

If, in the very worst case, you definitely want to leave, we will arrange a drop-off point for you.

No, we will not go all around Mallorca. 

As the primary goal of the retreat is the transformational training, we will keep the sailing activities to a level, that supports the training. We are not aiming for over-ambitious sailing. We will probably spend about three to four hours sailing every day. 

No. This is not a sailing holiday. This is an intensive transformational training journey.

Although we provide daily healthy meals and accommodation on a comfortable sailing boat, this is not a package holiday. This is a high intensity transformational training and the sailing boat is our retreat center, adventure platform, and place to unwind and relax.

However, the training does include daily sailing of course. And that is for a reason. We believe in the transformational power of the ocean. Being out there, surrounded by nothing but water, being in touch with nature, all this changes how we perceive our environment and how we perceive ourselves. Just ask any sailor out there!

We use the time sailing to integrate the experience and to get you out of your familiar environment.

You will have time to relax,  contemplate, and enjoy the beauty of the Mallorquin coastline. We will anchor in beautiful bays and you will be able to dip into the clear waters of the Med. 

We will provide you with a list of recommended things to bring for the training. Don’t worry, you will not have to shop all new stuff for this!  

We will have daily shore access and parts of the training will also be conducted ashore.

We will anchor in a nice bay every night and will have the chance to go ashore for training sessions in the morning and the afternoon/ evening.
