FIFTITU% Retreat 2025

Sun 28. September 2025, 11h - Mon 29. September 2025, 15h | 4Std.

Psyche. Body. Skills. 
- Self-effective action.

Find more room for manoeuvre, sort yourself out and develop new strategies together. A safe space where all of this is possible

This is exactly what we create at the FIFTITU% retreat: two days in Steinbach am Attersee, accompanied by Gestalt therapist Tina Reif. A weekend for the body, inner processes and collective agency. No performance format. No self-optimisation. Rather, a queer-feminist space for more clarity about yourself and others.

We invite FLINTA people who work in the arts and cultural sector and are looking for a place where everything that is there can have a place and where self-effective connections and new perspectives for action can emerge at the same time.

When & Where: 28-29 September 2025 in Steinbach am Attersee

What to expect: In three modules "Mind, Body, Skills", we provide impulses for more clarity, self-awareness and concrete possibilities for action. Each module stands on its own and enables an individual form of participation.

  • PSYCHE - Narrative & inner clarity
    What stories do you tell yourself about yourself? Which imprints and self-images control you - often unconsciously? This module is about recognising your own thought patterns, self-images and imprints that often guide our behaviour unnoticed. A special focus is placed on anger: that often misunderstood emotion that can be an indication of violated boundaries, repressed needs or unheard parts. Instead of suppressing anger, we approach it with curiosity: what power arises when we consciously give it space - not to judge it, but to use it as a resource?
     
  • BODY - self-awareness through movement
    Bodies are never neutral or universal. Each* of us brings a unique interplay of resources, experiences and limitations, shaped by our different identities. This module invites you to use bodywork and movement as a means of being present in the moment and releasing blockages. Without pressure, without coercion.
     
  • SKILLS - Developing individual strategies
    Art and cultural work can empower and exhaust at the same time. Together with Oona Valarie Serbest from FIFTITU%, we will try out scenic and reflexive strategies to remain present and capable of acting in the cultural sector. The focus is on dealing with boundaries - not as rigid lines, but as situationally negotiated spaces of self-protection, responsibility and positioning. This creates opportunities to strengthen presence and keep room for manoeuvre open.

Retreat information

End: Monday, 29 September 2025, 3 pm

The retreat takes place in a seminar hotel in Steinbach am Attersee. The location is directly on the lake and creates a safe setting. Retreat is possible, as is sharing.

The retreat is aimed at women, intersex, non-binary, trans and agender people (FLINTA) working in the arts and culture sector.

Artists and cultural producers who live with structural discrimination in addition to professional pressures are particularly welcome. For example, due to racism, classism, ableism, trans hostility or other exclusions.

We endeavour to create an atmosphere that is critical of discrimination and a mindful, respectful approach to different realities of life.

Please note: This retreat is not a substitute for therapy, but a space for collective care, reflection and self-efficacy.

Language: The retreat will always be held in German. The team also speaks English, Spanish and French. If required, we can also find a common form of communication.

Participation in the retreat is possible with an excess of between 50 and 250 euros: you choose what is feasible for you at the time.

The deductible includes accommodation, meals and the retreat itself; excluding alcoholic beverages.

It is important to us that money is not a reason for exclusion. The majority of the costs are covered by FIFTITU% through the LINZimPULS2024 grant. If you need support, please get in touch with us at office@fiftitu.at: We'll find a solution!

You are responsible for your own arrival and departure.
