There are moments when one longs to look inwards rather than outwards. Not to understand others, but to understand oneself. But self-knowledge does not always unfold in quiet retreat, in rigorous analysis or in the pages of books. Sometimes, a simple sip of wine – and the experience of it – leads to the deepest insights.
WineSelf Coaching opens up just such a path: self-improvement that comes as an experience. Not through textbook phrases or boilerplate questions, but through fine-tuning the senses. Smells, tastes, textures and memories open up worlds that we rarely have access to on a daily basis. And as the wine slowly reveals itself in the glass, so we reveal ourselves – to ourselves.
What makes the Wine & Reflect programme special is that it uses wine tasting not as an end but as a means to an end. As a gateway through which we enter our own inner world, allowing ourselves to slow down, to be curious and to be present in a sensitive way. In the process, wine does not judge, it does not urge – it only holds up a mirror. And in that mirror we sometimes see something we cannot see elsewhere.
The programme is available in both individual and group formats. Individually, we work with a deep personal focus – in groups, we work with shared experiences and insights. Both forms provide what the participant needs at their own pace: understanding, letting go, insight, re-tuning.
There are no expectations, no preconditions. It’s just you, the wine in your glass – and the moment in which something is set in motion. The coaching process, guided with subtle attention, opens up perception and thought at the same time. The questions that arrive are not from outside – they are born inside you, and that’s what makes them real.
This kind of self-discovery experience with wine is ideal if you are in a state of change, if you are looking for answers, or if you simply want to look at yourself from a new perspective. An intimate, taste and smell-led inner journey where wine is just the first stop – the destination is always you.
