⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”Regardless of what you want to change/enhance about yourself – you need to stop “trying” and start doing. This requires a mental shift and not willpower nor wishing. Angela gave me several tools to realize this.”
“Angela has a unique ability to get a stubborn mind like mine to open up to new ideas. She was able to push me outside my comfort zone and move in a positive direction.”
“The Brain Challenge with Angela was enormously helpful. In just 5 days I learned more about my brain power and how to improve my physical well-being than in 12 years of school biology classes!“
You’ll go away with:
✔️ precise understanding why certain things work for your mental and physical performance, your brain, and how to consistently get yourself into the most effective, optimal-performance, high-energy states – motivated focus, alert and calm, energized;
✔️ knowledge of how to change your mental, emotional, physical states on-demand for the desired outcome (VS hoping for it) – how to have a powerful, motivated, focused day every day; how to feel confident when feeling anxious, how to feel energized and capable when feeling exhausted and defeated; prevent burnout, mental fatigue, procrastination.
✔️ much wider range of neuroscience-research-based tools to biohack, to change, to adjust yourself based on your intentions.
BONUS: You’ll get a dozen of high-performing friends, committed to excellence, to growth, to keeping each other’s bar high.
Grow Together to Thrive Together. Lead. Inspire.
✔️WHO IT IS FOR
Are you a mission-driven founder, business owner, freedompreneur – who marches to your own drum, and is committed to your world-changing mission?
Do you have a growth mindset, the belief that one’s potential is truly limitless?
Are you a leader and team player, always looking for win-win situations, helping others to climb higher?
Are you ready to work hard on the things you want, and aren’t afraid to face your fears, difficult emotions and challenges?
Is your mind open? Are you ready to embrace new ideas, controversial views, new perspectives, ready to change your mind?
⛔WHO IT IS NOT FOR
If you aren’t ready to stand for something, to lead, to create your own path;
If you have a fixed mindset, you believe external environments and circumstances define your future;
If you are into a scarcity mindset, and holding others down to climb higher solo;
If you aren’t ready to work through challenges;
If you aren’t ready to change your mind, aren’t open to opposite views, innovative ideas, and challenging perspectives.
“I wasn’t high. I wasn’t wired.
Just clear.
I knew what I needed to do and how to do it.”

Cultural and Fun Activities
Sunday
Daytime:
Snowshoeing treks in the Pirin (Bansko), Vitosha and Rila mountain with a visit to the thermal bath in the village of Dobrinishte on the way back.
We’ll take a moderate or difficult track to challenge our fitness. No special equipment needed – “to wear” guide provided.
Mount Bezbog – This route is relatively difficult. About 30 minutes transfer takes us to Gotse Delchev Hut above the village of Dobrinishte, from where we take the chair lift up to Bezbog Hut (2240 m above sea). Putting our snow shoes on, we have to climb up to 2645 m., the top of Mount Bezbog. The mountain offers great views to the high parts of Pirin Mountains. The terrain is more difficult, with some relatively steep parts, but still suitable for snowshoeing. The walk takes about 3,5-4 hours to complete. We go back the same way and take the lift down to Gotse Delchev Hut, from where we continue our visit to the thermal bath in the village of Dobrinishte on the way back.
5-6 pm: summary of the retreat, questions, next steps, and the conclusion.
6 pm onwards: local cuisine dining experience. Explore all the tastes of traditional Bulgarian home cooking chatting about your experience and where it’ll take you.
