AT HOME IN THE WORLD FAMILY RETREATS

Deepening family connections and creating a heart-led life together

The Kaponay Family Journey…

13 years ago, we made a conscious choice to embrace change as the catalyst to creating a life lived together in coherence.

This investment and our subsequent adventures have taken us to over 50 countries on 6 continents.

Along our travels, we noticed the ever encroaching harmful ways stress, overwork, overcommitment and societal narratives, were taking families in separate directions and causing harm and disintegration to the health and well-being of families.

MEET THE TEAM

George & Bobi Kaponay are the inventors of The Intuition Game and the Labour of Love Process, intended to bring your life’s / family’s story or venture to fruition, with the clarity, direction process and the effort and inspiration needed to see it through.

Their family story over time is reflected in the echoes of the journeys they have taken, the lives they have touched and the way they live intentionally. This has inspired their now adult twin children, Réka and Lalika, to add their own unique contributions to their family stories. Réka Kaponay, their daughter, is a successful internationally published author and Story-Teller, with followers in over 100 countries. Their son Lalika Kaponay is the founder of his own Travel Concierge Business DestinatorTravel.com.

Together, they sincerely live their story and what it means to be At Home In The World. They have a strong desire to share this with your family, so that by being at home with yourself and your family, your unique and valuable contribution to yourself and the world can be fully realized, experienced and lived from the heart.

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU

It can take courage to step into a retreat like this. Transformation, whether in families or as individuals, requires a willingness to look within, to be vulnerable, and to challenge yourself. In this, we are here to support you, and to hold a space of acceptance while offering the attention needed for you to go deep. If you are ready to take this journey and perhaps change the trajectory of the course of your family’s life, then we look forward to having you join us at one of our next retreats!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where and when will the retreats be held and what is the investment for my family?

At Home In The World Family Retreats is embarking on an exclusive series of intimate in-person and online family retreats that will take place over 5 days. The in-person retreats will be recommencing in April-May 2023 in Vietnam, Transylvania in September 2023 and Mexico in November 2023, with online retreats to be determined.

How do I know this retreat is for my family?

That depends. Is your family at the point where you no longer wish to go back to living the life you have been living up until now? Do you have that inner sense that this moment in time is perhaps the greatest opportunity for you and your family to reimagine what it could be like to be living together coherently and to the fullest? Are you prepared to ask the challenging questions of yourselves, together? Are you prepared to look into the depths of who you are and be ready to potentially let go of the greater part of everything you have believed to be true about yourselves, society and the way the world is? If so, then this event has been intentionally created for you and your family’s needs. You should consider securing your family’s place for this limited series of engagements.

Why is there only a small group of Families invited to attend?

At Home In The World Family Retreats are intentionally created to be an intimate gathering of families. This is so that we can do our best to facilitate an environment that is both optimal for learning for the families who attend and so that we can provide the most personalized and focused attention to the families in attendance. This is even more relevant when applying this approach to our online version of our retreat. In small intimate groups (max. 8 families), we can strive to ensure that each family’s experience will be one where their needs and requirements are able to met with attention, empathy and the support necessary for them to achieve the transformations that they are all striving for. If a family is interested in attending, as a team, we work to ensure that all participant families will have the opportunity to add their own unique stories to the group story. This is with the active intention that each family will bring something unique that will enrich all of the group and the experiences that we have together.

What can I expect if I am one of the families attending?

You can expect this retreat to be a learning adventure, which over the course of 5 days and nights, is intended to take you and your family through an exciting, interactive and engaging set of intentionally created games, mini-workshops, meditations and roundtable exercises that are specifically designed and curated to empower you with a self-guided framework towards personal and familial coherence and transformation. We will work with you before the event begins, to ensure that our families will mutually benefit to the maximum potential of the experience.

I’ve never been to an online retreat, what differences can I expect?

We wish to emphasise that while this retreat will be delivered online, it is our intention that you experience our retreat and all of its benefits just as any of our in-person attendee families would.

This means that all our sessions are organised, specifically curated and careful adapted to be delivered in the same timeframes and formats that we would use on location.

Our live gatherings will be scheduled with predetermined timeframes for each session.

The non-live progression of the retreat and its course will follow our normal time-flow of events, and as such, certain activities, games and exercises will only become available in correspondence with and according to the daily schedule of our in-person retreats. They will also need to be completed within a certain time frame in order to unlock further progression in the course, and will need to be completed prior to our following in-person gatherings.

It is also for this reason, that when families are invited to join the retreat, we recommend that due to the physical, emotional and energetic investment that is required, they take 5 full days out of their daily schedules—away from work and away from the noise and the distractions of daily-life—just as if they were away from home to attend our retreat.

This might be from at home, or it might very well be that you choose to take some time at a peaceful location away from home to attend.

There is a very specific intention to this, and its aim is to ensure that you and all the families in attendance will gain the fullest spectrum of benefits from participating in this wholly-immersive experience. In this way, we are confident to call this a fully fledged Retreat, rather than just an online course or gathering. When invited to attend, we will share with you and your family a detailed approach to preparing and holding the space in your own home or the location you choose to attend.

What are the benefits I can expect to receive from attending?

This is entirely up to you and your family, the mindset and commitment you come with and the effort that you are all willing to invest. For those who make the commitment to themselves—based on the families we have worked with in the past—we have seen genuine life-changing transformations in individual, inner coherence and overall familial coherence. We have seen new directions forged, harmony and family fulfilment prioritised in a new way of living, adventures embarked upon and ideas birthed, along with family ventures and businesses, many that involve all family members taking an active role in contributing meaningfully to the world.

In asking this question, you might also consider asking yourselves: What is it that I am seeking to gain? What is the most important thing to my family now? These questions could give you a deeper insight into what you can expect to receive from our learning adventure.

Can I bring the whole family along?

The whole intention of this event is that you attend together with your children. This means that both you and your children will take full roles and an equal stakeholder partnership in all the games, learning experiences and activities. While the retreat is created for maximum interaction and participation for all the family, we have consciously formatted each activity and day to be as fun as possible with games, and frequent breaks encouraged for the necessary reflection, rest and integration to occur. However, there are certain elements to the day which do require the ability to focus attention over the course of a period of an hour to an hour and a half.

If my children are very young, is it worth us all attending?

Yes, most definitely! What we have to share with you is a self-guided framework of ongoing practice. Once you have attended our learning adventure together and experienced the process first-hand, you will have gained the vital information necessary for you to be able to adapt this experience to your own family’s needs, in the way that it works best for you and your children. This includes how you might adapt this to infants or younger children.

We will also have on offer certain amended activities, learning practises and games that will follow the retreat learning program, but that will cater directly to engaging and bridging the different age groups of children participating, generally organised into ages from (7-12). With younger children, it is all dependent on what your family is used to. We will discuss options that will best suit your family directly with you.

Is this a Religious Retreat?

At Home In The World Family Retreats are a secular – non religious gathering, that is not affiliated with any institutions or organizations, religious or otherwise. Our values are to respect all life, all beliefs and cultures equally. Our gathering is based on our integrated Adult and Child Framework of Learning, with the tools and process necessary to allow all our attendee families to arrive at their own personal realisations of transformation, which are uniquely meaningful to them. We aim to facilitate a gathering and environment where all participants are cared for and feel safe to share and learn together.

Are there any pre-requisites I need to do to attend your retreats?

There are no pre-requisites of learning or qualifications that any families wishing to attend need have. We do ask that you register your intention to attend by making a time to speak with us personally to discuss your situation. This is an informal get-to-know-you chat online for you to meet our team. Here, you can ask any questions or share any concerns that you might have, while we all get the opportunity to see if this the right fit for us all. Once we have had this opportunity, you are in a position to decide for you and your family whether you would like to proceed with your intention to attend the retreat. At this time, we will ask for a deposit or payment, dependent on how close we are to the retreat, to secure your family’s place.

Is this a safe environment for my family and I to share our very personal familial situation?

Yes, absolutely! We hold the personal well-being and confidentiality of your family’s experience in the highest regard and care. We also have come to learn that this journey, when taken together with other families experiencing similar or resonant experiences, only adds to the richness of what you and your family will learn together, and how, as a community of similar families, you will all grow together.

To ensure we have a complementing and inspirational mix of families in attendance, we work with each family prior to the day of the event to ensure that we all have a good mutual understanding of each other’s situations and expectations.

It is our sincerest intention to create a space for each family to feel the most empowered in their own journey towards inner and familial coherence.
