The Invitation

Feel beneath the noise

The end of the year can easily become another moment of rushing – finishing, planning, achieving, deciding what comes next.

The Pulse of Life is an invitation to do something different.

For four days, we slow down enough to listen. To come back to the body, reconnect with your natural rhythm and notice what is already alive beneath the noise.

Through somatic practices, nature, nourishing food, movement, meditation, reflection and meaningful connection, you’ll create space to consciously close the year – and enter 2027 not with another list of resolutions, but with a deeper sense of what matters.

Come back to your body. Your rhythm. What makes you feel alive.

The Experience

Enter 2027 through experience, not resolution

In a world that is constantly asking us to move faster, slowing down has become a radical act.

When we create space, we begin to experience life differently. We notice what is beneath the surface. We feel our bodies. We become more present to the people around us. And we begin to hear what truly matters.

The Pulse of Life brings together somatic practices, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, movement, nature, nourishing meals, conscious reflection and connection to create a New Year’s retreat that is felt – not simply understood.

This is not about becoming a different person for the year ahead.

It is about coming closer to yourself.

The Journey

Back to the core of being human

01. Nourishment

Deep rest, nourishing meals and the spaciousness to slow down, recharge and truly receive.

Meals are prepared by our private chef, creating space for you to be nourished without having to think about what comes next.

02. Nature & Connection

Reconnect with nature, the elements and the people around you.

Our private retreat sanctuary gives you space to live outdoors, breathe deeply and experience the grounding quality of natural surroundings.

03. Somatics & Embodiment

Come back into your body and deepen your presence.

Daily somatic practices support nervous system regulation, body awareness and a more embodied way of experiencing yourself and your life.

04. Conscious Exploration

Close the year consciously and listen for what wants to emerge.

Through guided workshops, reflection and embodied practices, you'll explore what truly makes you feel alive – and what you want to carry forward.

05. Sound & Ceremony

Open, connect and celebrate through sound, music and ritual.

Music, ceremony and song create moments to gather, feel and connect beyond words.

06. New Year's Celebration

Enter 2027 together.

Live music, dancing under the stars and gathering around the bonfire create a meaningful celebration of the year that has been – and the one that is beginning.
The Rhythm

Space to feel. Space to live.

Morning

Arrive in yourself.

Somatic practice, meditation and a nourishing brunch to begin the day slowly and consciously.

Day

Explore, rest, connect.

Guided workshops, nature, spacious rest, movement and genuine connection – with enough room for the day to unfold naturally.

Evening

Gather and celebrate.

Shared dinners, intimate ceremonies, music, stories around the bonfire and the conscious transition into the New Year.
The Sanctuary

Held by nature.
Created to connect.

Our premium retreat sanctuary in southern Tenerife is reserved exclusively for our group. Surrounded by natural spaces, the sanctuary offers spacious gardens, authentic guest houses with private bathrooms and places to gather, breathe, move, rest and simply be.

For a few days, life becomes beautifully simple:
Wake up, breathe, move, eat, connect, rest, feel.

Everything you need – and space for nothing you don’t.

Is this for you?

A New Year's Retreat for Those
Who Want to Feel More

The Pulse of Life may be for you if you:

Long for a slower, more meaningful way to enter the New Year.
Want to reconnect with your body, presence and natural rhythm.
Are curious about somatic practices, embodiment or nervous system regulation.
Want space to reflect on the year you've lived and what you want to create next.
Value genuine connection, meaningful conversation and community.
Feel called to experience life more deeply – rather than simply think about it.

You don’t need previous experience with somatic practices, meditation or retreats. Come as you are.

Your Host

From my heart.
To yours.

Hosting this retreat has become one of the most meaningful traditions in my life.

The Pulse of Life will be my fourth signature New Year’s retreat, and every year reminds me of the same thing: the experience is never created by one person alone. It comes alive through everyone who enters the space.

Over the years, I have guided more than 1,000 people towards greater presence, connection and embodiment. I’ve watched people arrive as strangers and leave with friendships that continue long after the retreat ends.

This is what I love most about these experiences.

We come together to slow down, feel, connect and remember what matters — and somehow, something beautiful begins to emerge between us.

It would be an honour to welcome you into this space and begin 2027 together.

With love and presence, Uli

I met Uliana about a year and a half ago at a workshop I attended in Tenerife. Even though the workshop had nothing to do with her work at first glance, you immediately notice what an open-minded and humorous person she is. During several other photo shoots with her, we had plenty of opportunity to talk about various things, and you feel very comfortable around her—the collaboration was easy, creative, and productive. Now, after a year and a half, I had the opportunity for the first time to experience a one-on-one session with her, and I have to admit that I’m generally a rather skeptical person. But Uli’s relaxed and empathetic manner really helped me open up to this experience. The guided meditation also felt very good to me, since I hadn’t done something like that very often and didn’t really know what to expect. Uli’s guidance is truly wonderful, and her insights are great for taking the next steps, no matter what stage of life you’re currently in. Thank you for this experience <3

I have had the honour of being guided by Uli’s loving presence through both a retreat and the voluntary follow-up program, “Heart-Led Leadership Online Container.” Both experiences have been truly amazing and essential in helping me move forward and find a path that feels right and deeply meaningful for me. And both surprised me in an extremely positive way. I was initially sceptical about how helpful an online container could be, as I’m generally not a fan of video meetings, but this was truly something else. The insights, depth, and openness created within the container gave me exactly what I needed to continue growing. The structure of the follow-up, checking in every third week or so, also strengthened my commitment to myself and my journey. Taking the next steps became so much easier because I knew I had a supportive team walking alongside me. Thank you so much, Uli!! You have truly changed my life for the better.

I had an outstanding experience with Uli from Ahora Living - both personally and professionally. I recently joined the Embodied Leadership workshop and was amazed by the love to detail and heart Uli is putting into her live in-person events. The experience was truly inspiring and made me reflect on old patterns holding me back from achieving a better future for myself. I could let go of tension and express myself freely in a safe positive environment. The meditation and sound healing made me feel at ease and put me in a state of relaxation and peace. I recommend Uli‘s work to truly everyone seeking guidance in personal development and long-lasting transformation ✨♥️

Working with Uliana has been one of the most powerful investments I’ve ever made in myself. When I joined the mentorship, I was overwhelmed, constantly busy, and unsure how to make space for the things I truly wanted. I didn’t even feel like I had time to join the Zoom calls. But through Uliana’s guidance, grounding presence, and the way she helps you see beyond your own limitations, everything started to shift. I went from fitting my dreams around my life to shaping my life around my dreams. I gained structure, clarity, and most importantly, confidence. Uliana doesn’t just mentor you—she holds space for your transformation, gently but firmly guiding you back to who you really are and what you’re capable of. If you’re ready for deep inner alignment, real accountability, and the type of mindset shift that ripples through every area of your life, I cannot recommend this mentorship enough. It’s not just information—it’s integration, embodiment, and real change.

I had a 1.5-hour somatic release session with Uliana that turned out to be exactly what I needed, though I hadn’t realised it beforehand due to my busy lifestyle and preconceptions. Uliana took the time to create a safe, welcoming space where I could fully relax. With her gentle yet professional guidance, she led me through exercises that helped me release long-held tension and allowed my body to naturally enter into shaking and deep release. The experience was both grounding and transformative. I warmly recommend Uliana’s treatments to anyone who is not yet accustomed to truly listening to and working with their body. Her work through Ahora Living offers a powerful doorway into deeper connection and wellbeing.

3 Months Mentorship I highly recommend Uliana’s mentorship program. Throughout our sessions, I experienced meaningful breakthroughs in self-awareness, communication, and personal growth. Uliana’s approach is both compassionate and empowering. She creates a safe space for honest reflection and provides practical tools. Her unique blend of emotional, spiritual, and practical guidance helped me set clear goals, develop healthier life (internally and externally), and approach challenges with greater confidence. I felt genuinely supported throughout the process and appreciated her ability to tailor the mentorship to my needs as life was ongoingly co-creating the mentorship with us. If you’re looking for a mentor who guides you through a transformative journey, while gives you the tools to feel safe - Uliana is the one!

I arrived at the Ahora NY retreat hoping for a different kind of New Year’s experience. One that felt rooted in intention and awareness. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I was in the right place. The people here were incredible. I connected with people instantly, as if we’d known each other for years. Conversations flowed easily, laughter came naturally, and we just really vibed. Uli is playful and warm, yet brings a depth of knowledge to every session. Whether she was leading a session herself or introducing us to other guest experts, each workshop felt like a treat on its own. The place is nothing short of magical. Beautiful views, stunning greenery, and an amazing yoga shala. Meals were another highlight. Normally, I’m not one to notice every dish, but the chef here truly impressed me. Each meal was bursting with flavor, thoughtfully balanced, and yes also packed with protein. I felt nourished in body and spirit, ready for whatever the day’s program had in store. If you’re looking to start your year with purpose, genuine connection, and a lot of fun, the news year retreat at Ahora is exactly what you need.

The way Uli is caring for the needs of her clients and bringing them into a perfectly organized yet flexible process was impressive for me. She built a container which enabled me to go through an intense journey and still feel like on holiday. She has a very good intuition to reflect lingering, relevant topics which might not be put on the „main coaching agenda“ yet. The way she reflects on these insights is confronting but at the same time very gentle and integrating. Working with her was exactly the right thing at exactly the right time - and we both felt that way when we got in contact with each other. Thank you so much for your precious support.
