From Role to Soul

A transformative journey back to yourself for women who lead, for women who create, for women who do.

“Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic self-hood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be. As we do so, we will not only find the joy that every human being seeks – we will also find our path of authentic service in the world.”

PARKER J. PALMER

Our From Role to Soul immersive journeys are thoughtfully curated and skillfully facilitated experiences designed for women in midlife. The retreats address the transition of reconciling one’s soul calling with life choices and career paths, helping to evolve outdated systems and harmonize the tension between being and doing.

If you find yourself in this tension and in transition, we return this spring to Eremito Monastery Hotel in Umbria, Italy, which provide a serene backdrop for deep reflection and growth.

Our next journey is for women leaders who want to deepen their relationship with themselves and others to make a greater impact in the world. It offers five full days of radical (un)learning in the heart of nature. Reflecting on the fundamentals of leadership and life through various disciplines, you will align your choices and decisions with your soul essence and the ethical demands of our time.

Join us on a journey of profound transformation, with carefully crafted spaces, dynamics, questions, and conversations that aim to impact at the root. This getaway with other women leaders will boost your original footprint and impact potential.

THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A JOURNEY — IT’S A TRANSFORMATION.

You’ve given so much of yourself to the world. Now, it’s time to give something back — to you. Don’t wait for the “right time.” Your journey back to your true self begins now.

Andrea "Ada" Friedrich
I’m Andrea and for years, I thrived in high-performance spaces—founding a digital agency in my early 20s, I embarked upon a twenty-year career in marketing and advertising, during which I lived in Hamburg, Paris, Cape Town, New York and Berlin. Working for some of the world’s most  prominent and creative global brands. I was outwardly successful and content, supported by loving relationships, yet often felt overwhelmed and alone, longing for a deeper sense of purpose and answers to my past. The constant striving, the endless deadlines—it was all taking me further from myself.

I knew there had to be a different way. Adjacent to my career I studied and practiced modern and ancient healing systems and trained in different coaching and body mind healing modalities. In 2017, I made the leap from strategy and execution to fulltime facilitation, coaching, and somatic therapy—work that helps people reconnect with their inner wisdom and create lives that feel regenerative, not depleting.

Through a blend of developmental coaching, somatic trauma therapy and essence work, I help people reconnect to their deepest truth. This isn’t just mindset work—it’s about healing the body, the nervous system, and the soul. By releasing trauma and old conditioning, we create space for your authentic self to emerge—leading to more empowered, aligned leadership that can ripple out into everything you do.

Julia von Winterfeldt
I’m Julia, and I know what it feels like to build a life that looks successful on the outside—while feeling completely disconnected on the inside.

For years, I led global teams, hit every career milestone, and played the part of a high-achieving leader. But beneath it all, I was exhausted, running on autopilot, and wondering if this was really it. Then came the wake-up call—a friend’s words that shook me to my core: “If you keep going like this, you won’t be living at all.” That moment changed everything. I stepped off the treadmill and into a journey of rediscovery.

In 2015, I founded Soulworx to help others bring more purpose and humanity into their work. But over time, my mission deepened: to guide midlifers—leaders, creators, and change-makers—through the big transitions of life with clarity, courage, and heart. Using a mix of coaching, systems therapy, breathwork, meditation, energy healing, and movement, I help people break free from outdated narratives, reconnect with their deeper wisdom, and create a life that feels truly theirs.

Because midlife isn’t an ending. It’s the beginning of something extraordinary.
