The Invitation

Feel beneath the noise

The end of the year can easily become another rush of finishing, planning and deciding what comes next.

What if you gave yourself space to listen first?

The Pulse of Life is an invitation to slow down and return to your natural rhythm. To remember what matters to you, what nourishes you and what you want to make room for in the year ahead.

A space where you can soften, be yourself and reconnect to the simple joy of being alive.

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

The Experience

A Rhythm of Rest, Connection & Celebration

Our days weave guided practices with spacious time to enjoy the finca and each other´s company. Everything is lovingly taken care of, so you can settle in and receive.

Embodiment & Presence
Somatic practices, embodiment workshops, meditation and sound journeys to support nervous system regulation, soften tension and deepen your connection with your body.

Nature & Nourishment
Fresh and nourishing meals prepared by our private chef, time in nature and space to rest, letting life’s simple pleasures replenish you.

Reflection & Connection
Guided reflection to listen inward, honour your year and explore your intentions moving forward. Deepen your connection with yourself and meet others beyond the surface through authentic relating.

Play & Celebration
Cacao ceremony, singing, live music, dancing under the stars and gathering around the bonfire to awaken your playfulness and welcome the new year together.

What you take home

A clearer sense of your body’s signals and simple yet powerful practices to bring more presence into everyday life.

Space to recognise what matters, what you’re ready to leave behind and what you want to nurture in 2027.

03. Meaningful Connections

Shared laughter, honest conversations and friendships that grow beyond these four days.

The Sanctuary

Held by nature.
Created to connect.

Our premium retreat sanctuary in Southern Tenerife “Finca Naranjas” is reserved exclusively for our group.

Spacious gardens, characterful guest houses with private bathrooms and welcoming spaces to gather give you room to enjoy good company and quiet moments of your own.

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

The Celebration

New Year’s Eve
at Finca Naranjas

A glimpse into a past Ahora gathering at Finca Naranjas – the sanctuary that will welcome us for this New Year’s Retreat.

Shared laughter, music under the stars and the kind of connection that stays with you long after the moment has passed. This December, we return to gather, celebrate and welcome 2027 together.

Is this for you?

A New Year's Retreat for Those
Who Long to Feel Life More Deeply

The Pulse of Life may be for you if you:

You’re ready for a meaningful pause. Time to rest, honour the year you’ve lived and listen to what you want next.
You want to feel more at home in yourself. You’re curious about reconnecting with your body and exploring a gentler, more present way of living.
You’re longing for genuine connection. Honest conversations, shared joy and a welcoming community to celebrate with.

We welcome men and women, typically aged 30-50.

Before booking, we connect through a personal call to get to know you, answer your questions and explore whether the retreat is a good fit – helping us bring together a open-hearted group.

You don't need previous experience with somatic practices, meditation or retreats. Come as you are and treat yourself with a nourishing experience.
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 then, 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.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ: New Year's Retreat 2026/2027

A New Year’s retreat is an opportunity to slow down, reflect on the year behind you and welcome a new beginning with intention. An invitation to enter 2027 feeling more present, connected and alive.

The Pulse of Life brings together rest, nature, somatic practices, mindfulness, meditation, nourishing food and meaningful connection, with space for laughter, dancing and conscious, alcohol-free celebration.

We see wellbeing as having room for all of you: stillness and reflection, expression and play. Across four days, we invite you to listen to your body, reconnect with your needs and feel into what you want to carry into the year ahead.

Yes. The Pulse of Life is a wellness retreat in Tenerife, and its intention goes beyond rest and relaxation. It is an embodied New Year’s experience: a space to deepen your connection with yourself, recognise what matters to you and explore how to bring that awareness into everyday life, long after the retreat ends.

Absolutely. Most of our guests arrive without knowing anyone. We curate each group with care through a personal call with every guest, and gently guide connection through shared practices, conversations and meals, while leaving plenty of space for yourself. Many guests have formed friendships that last long after the retreat. 

Yes. The shared twin and couple’s cottage options can be booked individually or together with a friend/partner.

We welcome a maximum of 20 guests, usually from all over Europe. This keeps the retreat intimate, with space for personal attention and meaningful connection. English is the main language throughout the retreat.

No previous experience is needed. Whether you’re completely new or already familiar with somatic and embodiment practices, mindfulness, and meditation, we guide you step by step. You’re welcome to participate at your own pace, adapt practices to your needs and take a break whenever you wish. We encourage you to listen to your body and honour your boundaries.

The experience includes daily somatic and embodiment practices, meditation, guided workshops, reflection, movement, nature, nourishing meals, sound ceremonies, meaningful connection and a conscious alcohol-free New Year’s celebration with live music and dancing.

We’ll take time to honour the year behind us and feel into the new beginning ahead. Then we’ll gather around the table for a long, nourishing dinner, sharing stories and laughter before dancing under the stars to live music and singing together by the bonfire.

Our celebration is alcohol-free, inviting us to savour the evening fully: the music, the connection, the joy of being together. A chance to welcome 2027 with an open heart, surrounded by new friends. 

The retreat takes place at Finca Naranjas in southern Tenerife, Canary Islands, a private retreat sanctuary reserved exclusively for our group. Plan to fly into Tenerife South Airport (TFS), approximately a 20-minute drive from the finca.

The Pulse of Life New Year’s Retreat takes place from 30 December 2026 at 1 PM until 2 January 2027 at 1 PM.

Your stay includes three nights’ accommodation in your chosen room, access to the private retreat sanctuary, two nourishing vegetarian meals a day prepared by our private chef, snacks and tea station between meals, the full retreat programme with daily practices and workshops, and our New Year’s Eve celebration event.

We can accommodate dietary requirements; please let us know when booking. Flights and airport transfers are not included.

Start by scheduling an exploratory call so we can meet, answer your questions and explore whether the retreat feels like a good match for you. If we both feel it’s a fit, you’ll receive your invoice and further onboarding information to prepare for your arrival. 

A 50% non-refundable booking payment secures your room. The remaining balance is due by 30 November 2026. Payment plans are available and can be discussed during your exploratory call.

For bookings made after 30 November 2026, full payment is required to secure your spot. We recommend booking early, as places are limited and higher rates will apply to late bookings.
