Find Your Purpose

You've done everything right. Earned the degree. Mastered the coursework. Followed the plan. Yet somehow, the promised clarity hasn't arrived—and you're beginning to wonder if the received wisdom that's guided your choices actually fits your reality.

Recent studies reveal that 75% of adults between 25 and 33 have experienced a quarter-life crisis characterised by profound uncertainty about career direction, life purpose, and personal identity. Harvard research shows that nearly 3 in 5 young adults report their lives lack meaning or purpose, whilst 36% experience anxiety and 29% struggle with depression—twice the rates reported by teenagers.

This isn't a personal failing. It's a generational phenomenon, driven by unprecedented choice paralysis, economic pressures, and the disconnect between academic achievement and real-world fulfilment.

Young adults report feeling stuck, wanting change, and focusing intensely on career uncertainty, whilst simultaneously facing financial stress that 56% say negatively impacts their mental health.

This isn't abstract theory—it's your daily reality.

You’re not alone…

If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone—and there is a way forward.

This retreat is designed for young adults who:

• Feel paralysed by too many options or no clear direction

• Experience Sunday-night dread about Monday's meaningless work

• Sense they're living someone else's definition of success

• Know they're capable of more but can't identify what

• Want purposeful work but need to pay the bills

If you're tired of well-meaning advice that doesn't address the deeper confusion, this retreat offers genuine transformation through clinical intervention, not motivational rhetoric.

Is This Retreat for You?

What is a quarter-life crisis?

It's a period of uncertainty and self-doubt that typically occurs between a person's mid-20s and early 30s. During this phase, people question their goals, career direction, relationships, and overall life choices, often feeling disconnected from the path they're on or lost without knowing which direction to take—as if their internal compass has stopped working.

How do I know if I'm having a quarter-life crisis?

If you're in your mid-20s to early 30s and questioning your life choices, career path, or feeling stuck despite 'doing everything right,' you're likely experiencing a quarter-life crisis. This is particularly true if it's causing you to feel disillusioned with your achievements, indecisive about next steps, restless despite external success, unmotivated, anxious, or depressed about your future direction.

What is the average age for a quarter-life crisis?

A quarter-life crisis can occur anywhere from early 20s to mid-30s, but most commonly happens between ages 25-33. Research suggests the peak age is 27, when the gap between expectations and reality often becomes most apparent.

What are the signs and symptoms of a quarter-life crisis?

Beyond emotional symptoms like disillusionment and depression, many experience physical manifestations—disrupted sleep, chronic fatigue, or stress-related tension. You might find yourself going through the motions at work, staying in relationships that feel 'safe but not fulfilling,' or constantly comparing your life to others. The overarching feeling is often: 'I should be grateful for what I have, so why do I feel so empty?'

How long does a quarter-life crisis last?

On average, a quarter-life crisis can last up to two years when left unaddressed. However, with focused intervention like intensive hypnotherapy, this period can be significantly shortened. Rather than years of uncertainty, targeted therapeutic work can provide clarity and resolution in a matter of weeks or months, helping you move forward with confidence much sooner.

Understanding Quarter-Life Crisis

Here's how we address this crisis at its root:

This exclusive five-night retreat in Crete offers something profoundly different to generic advice or motivational platitudes - personalised hypnotherapy that accesses your unconscious wisdom to reveal your authentic path forward.

Working one-on-one, you'll undergo three intensive two-hour sessions designed to:

• Dissolve the anxiety that clouds decision-making and perpetuates cycles of self-doubt

• Uncover your authentic values buried beneath societal expectations & parental pressures

• Identify unconscious blocks preventing you from pursuing what genuinely excites you

• Align your conscious ambitions with your deeper psychological drivers

• Build unshakeable confidence in your chosen direction

Your Personalised Path to Clarity

Unlike conventional counselling that circles surface-level concerns, clinical hypnotherapy directly accesses the unconscious patterns driving your uncertainty. Through deep therapeutic trance, we bypass the limiting beliefs, accessing the clarity that already exists within you.

Each session builds systematically - first releasing anxiety & establishing calm clarity, then exploring your authentic desires freed from external pressures, and finally programming your unconscious mind for decisive action & sustained motivation.

Beyond Traditional Therapy

Location matters as much as method.

Nestled along Crete's pristine coastline, you'll have five nights to decompress completely from the relentless pressure of decision-making. Stay in a cosy hotel room or private studio—depending on availability—where comfort and calm set the tone for a truly restorative experience.

Between sessions, the island provides natural therapy: crystal-clear waters for swimming meditation, ancient olive groves for contemplative walks and the grounding presence of a culture that's navigated uncertainty for millennia. This isn't about Instagram moments or forced activities—it's deliberate space for integration and insight.

Your Retreat Experience

This retreat addresses the crisis before it becomes chronic at an individual basis.

Research shows that career anxiety in young adults correlates with long-term mental health challenges, making early intervention essential. The cost of inaction—years of career dissatisfaction, ongoing anxiety, missed opportunities—far exceeds this investment in clarity when you need it most.

Rather than years of expensive therapy or decades of career dissatisfaction, this concentrated intervention provides clarity when you need it most.

Invest in Your Future

Unlike generic programs, this retreat is built around you. No group sharing, no one-size-fits-all solutions.

This programme is completely individualised — designed around you and your specific challenge.

Three intensive 2-hour hypnotherapy sessions, each crafted specifically for your situation. Because whilst ten people might struggle with anxiety, each person's anxiety — and solution — is entirely different.

Your therapist: A qualified British hypnotherapist with 12 years of clinical experience, using neuroscience-based techniques that target how your brain actually creates lasting change.

A Personalised Path

Crete’s healing energy—sun-soaked beaches, crystal waters, and serene landscapes—creates the perfect backdrop for your transformation. Paired with expert hypnotherapy, your retreat offers a rare chance to reset and rediscover your purpose.

"I'd been applying for jobs I didn't even want, just because they seemed 'sensible.

Liviu didn't give me a magic answer. He helped me access what I already knew deep down.

Six months later, I'm working in sustainable fashion—something I'd dismissed as 'unrealistic' before.

It all starts in Crete…."

Ingrid, 26, Marketing Graduate

Stories, Changes

" I'd tried career coaching, therapy, even taken a gap year, but nothing had worked.

I thought I needed a complete career change, but Liviu helped me understand that I was burnt out, not in the wrong profession

The individual sessions meant we could dig into my specific blocks around authority and perfectionism.

I'm still teaching, but with a completely different mindset.

The post-retreat support is invaluable during the integration period."

David, 30, Teacher

"I was earning good money but felt completely empty.

I’ve been to a few retreats – but this was not some touchy-feely experience—it was surprisingly practical.

The hypnotherapy sessions were intense in the best way, and having individual sessions meant I could work on my specific issues without worrying about what others might think. Yes, I did feel like that in the past…

Plakias is the perfect backdrop—being away from London's pressure helped me think clearly.

I'm still in finance, but now I understand why it matters to me."

James, 28, Finance Professional

Client Experiences

"I was four years into dentistry when my body started rebelling—chronic pain in my right wrist, panic attacks before practical exams. I had the 'perfect' boyfriend who everyone loved, a clear career path, supportive parents. On paper, my life was ideal. But during the hypnotherapy sessions, I realised I was living my parents' dream, not mine. The most difficult part was admitting I'd never actually chosen dentistry—it was just a path I was expected to take. Breaking up with my boyfriend and starting over with medicine felt terrifying, but for the first time in years, the panic attacks stopped. My wrist pain disappeared within weeks of making the decision. Sometimes your body knows before your mind does."

Lucy, 24, Medical Student
