On October 8-12th, 2025, the Land Beyond welcomes again Elpida Trizi, together with Pritam Jha, both ICF Certified Life & Leadership Coaches, for a transformative, reinvigorating experience called "The Wonder Wanderers”.
WHY JOIN THE WONDER WANDERERS
In a world that often equals being busy with being productive and making progress, this is an invitation to intentionally press pause and wonder what is possible. Pausing intentionally requires some effort; same as the effort to reach this amazing place, the Land Beyond, where you will be invited to slow down and allow a sense of wonder, of not knowing, and allowing something to emerge. Research shows that awe and wonder have a positive effect on our wellbeing. They reduce stress, benefit our creativity and allow inspiration to kick in when we find ourselves stuck. Wonder also expands our capacity to be with the unknown, take risks and bounce back from the challenges life throws at us, as likely not everything always goes as planned... Finally, as ancient Greeks claimed, "wisdom begins in wonder”. So, come and wonder wander with us. Allow a sense of curiosity, fascination and bewilderment at something new, unexpected and larger than ourselves.
HOW IT WORKS
- Through opening-up our senses, breathing and observing nature.
- Through walking and conscious movement, allowing introspection, cultivating deeper self-awareness and a sense of inner harmony.
- Through deep conversations and sharing in a safe, non-judgmental space.
THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF YOU LONG TO:
- Slowdown, disconnect from your "busy” routines and multiple screens
- Quiet your mind, reconnect the heart and the mind, the body and the soul
- Gain clarity to create your way forward, even amidst uncertainty and discomfort
- Allow space for and express all emotions
- Make conscious choices towards an authentic, good life
OUTCOME
There is no magic wand when it comes to personal transformation. Like anything else in life, the more you put into this journey, the more you will get out of it. Our wish is for everyone to experience what it feels like to:
- Be fully heard, seen and understood
- Lower the inner and outer "noise”
- Move from a know-it-all place to a more sensing and feeling place
- Reconnect with ourselves, each other and nature
Eventually, everyone will walk away with some insights and new practices to integrate into their daily routine. Trusting their intuition more, feeling more grounded, inspired and empowered!

WHO IS PRITAM
Pritam's journey to becoming a coach began far from the world of coaching—deep within the Earth, as a geologist. For over two decades, he worked in multiple Fortune 100 companies across the globe as a geoscientist, leading teams and sustainably exploring the physical landscapes and natural resources our planet has to offer. Over time, facing his own mental health challenges, his attention turned inward—to the inner landscapes people navigate during times of change, burnout, and reinvention. Nature has always been Pritam’s teacher. As a geoscientist, he recognized the wisdom of the Earth’s layers, the flow of water, the force of fire, the movement of air, and the vast stillness of space. These five elements now shape his coaching philosophy. He believes our lives carry the same rhythms—strength, flow, passion, clarity, and presence—and that reconnecting with them can restore balance and purpose.
Today, Pritam is an executive life coach and the founder of Mind Your Trap. He works with people who are navigating transitions and seeking to live with more meaning, energy, and authenticity. Rather than offering quick fixes, he creates space for reflection, insight, and grounded change. His approach is warm, clear, and deeply human rooted in experience, guided by nature, and inspired by the belief that we all carry the wisdom we need. His mission is simple: show up, not show off. He wants to be the help he wishes he had had when he was struggling.

Elpida is an outstanding coach; her exceptional interpersonal skills help align the team with respect and deep knowledge. She has an incredible ability to spot and address any sensitive remarks, ensuring a positive social environment for everyone. Elpida’s intelligence and expertise shine through in everything she does, making this experience truly exceptional. - Ayman Ali, USA/Egypt
Easily utilizing the beautiful natural landscape and rich history of the Zagori region, I felt like this was one of the best places to self-reflect, ground, and be one with the land. Elpida did a wonderful job gently incorporating exercises and practices on mindfulness and resilience on a land that has stood against the face of time. This was such a reminder everywhere we turned. I felt nourished inside and out! - A. Economides USA/Greece
The Wonder Wanderers retreat was a truly special experience, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to join. It is an investment in yourself that can change your life. Elpida is a very inspiring and talented coach, who in a safe, carrying and empathetic way guides you through this journey. The Land Beyond is a truly magical place, with a stunning view, great facilities and even better hospitality. From the first moment you feel part of The Wonder Wanderers family.

The event moved me in a very positive way and gave me important impulses for life and dealing with myself and others. I also valued my experiences in the wonderful nature of Zagori. The people of The Land Beyond are committed, very friendly and totally behind the idea of thinking nature and mental health as one. - Robert S. Germany
Taking the time to slow down in such a beautiful, intentional setting was a gift. Surrounded by nature and a sense of stillness, I was able to reconnect with myself in a way that felt both grounding and expansive. There was something profoundly healing about stepping out of the usual rhythm of daily life and into a space that invited presence, quiet, and reflection. The environment itself held us -with its natural beauty, calm atmosphere, and thoughtful design- and made it easier to listen inwards. Slowing down here was not about doing nothing. It was about being more fully. The group size allowed the participants to bond very quickly and see each other more fully and co-create. A huge part of this experience was the presence of the coaches: Elpida and Tania. They held the space with care, authenticity and intention. Their support was never intrusive but always available, like a gentle anchor. - Ewelina Jankowska Poland/Ireland
Very grateful to both Elpida and Tania for leading us with kindness, attention and encouragement as well as for creating a safe and open atmosphere. This experience allowed me to slow down and practice active listening as well as being present. Increasing my self-awareness permits me to make more conscious decisions. I recommend wholeheartedly the Wonder Wanderers retreat to anyone! - Nora Weber – Germany/Hungary
What the Wonder Wanderers retreat offers is a truly unique and wonderful experience! Through the coaches’ skilled, humane and non-intrusive guidance, combined with the magic of the landscape and history, the extraordinary hospitality, and the composition of the group, it felt as if landing home. I was given a one-of-a-kind opportunity for self-reflection, exploration and expansion through walking and feeling one with the wonder of life, nature and each other. I feel more playful, centered, and aware of what is important. - M.P. - Greece
