About my intentions for this Retreat:
Hey dear!
I’m Sun Mee, and I felt alone, fragmented, and not seen in my transracial adoptee experience.
My mission with this retreat is offer a safe and magical space to immerse for 6 days. A retreat that combines the beauty of slow and conscious living, nature, deep human connection, and personal discovery.
I have struggled for too long to find a sense of belonging. I had to overcome the fear of feeling too much and reframe my limiting adoptee beliefs that I’m not safe, worthy enough, and deserving. Awakening to my adoption trauma and starting to understand the source of my suppressed wounding helped me find self-compassion and find back home to authentic self and wholeness. What I realized in my healing journey:
➥ Wholeness is not about being perfect, it’s about embracing all that exists, the light AND the shadow.
➥ Joy and peace need a safe space to unfold. We can’t talk our way out of our minds, we must calm our bodies, and inspire our souls holistically.
➥ Committing intentional time and resources sets the stage for personal growth in unexpected ways.
➥ Finding honest exchange with like-minded adoptees empowers me in ways I could never arrived on my own.
I have experienced the power of transformation in various retreats myself, and each of those have been pivotal for my personal and professional life and allowed me to move forward in life with more clarity, confidence, and courage.
YOU DESERVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR WELLBEING!
I wholeheartedly invite you to explore what transformation and growth can happen when we have space to unfold our truth and are truly seen! Let`s invite light and joy into our hearts!
I can’t wait for you to join us for this special retreat!
❤︎ With love, Sun Mee.

Our Retreat Space—A unique family farm estate nested in the Austrian mountains
A magical place at the center of Europe, yet tucked away in the beautiful Austrian mountains and forests with eye-opening views over the Corinthia valley and, some days, even to Italy. I instantly felt grounded, protected, and inspired when I was there.
No wonder, it has existed since 1875 and used to be a shelter for animals, a foster care home, and family housing for many generations. It was just recently transformed into a one-of-a-kind retreat space by Bernhard and Kathrin Schluga from I-am-Escape—with much attention to detail, ecological care, and respect to its history. Locals and global citizens can find community, connect deeply with nature, and rediscover a sense of balance.
I’m honored to be the first retreat facilitator that’s invited to this retreat space with a small and curated group of fellow transracial adoptee sisters.
You will have your own cozy private room and space (with a mountain or forest view) and a modern private bathroom with rainshower. Join us for 6 days, entering a unique world, disconnecting from your daily stress, and attuning to your adoptee soul.
Let’s CARE with Compassion, CONNECT with Curiosity, and CREATE with Courage—together!
With love, Sun Mee.
