On a quinta in Portugal, with just eight of us. We'll face our resistance, practice letting go, and drop into the state you know from your best moments.
Book a call with Max A relaxed 20-minute call to get to know each other, no sales pitch. Calls run until mid-September.You're really good at what you do. You deliver when it counts, your calendar is full, and people count on you. Maybe you track your sleep, and there's already an ice bath sitting in your garden. In short: performance isn't your problem. And yet there's this one thing you just can't seem to move forward on.
Maybe you recognize yourself here:
I didn't design flowDEEP as a biohacking camp, a longevity program, or a wellness retreat. It's an experience for people on the edge of a breakthrough who are done postponing their next step. This isn't an escape from your life. It's five days of experimenting with, shaping, and actually living the life you want.
At some point during the week, you and I will sit down for a one-on-one, easy and unhurried. These conversations are scattered across the days, and yours happens when the moment is right.
Experience over knowledge
Some partners contribute to an experience. Others help you create it. I've been working with the team at Leela Quantum Tech for many years. Their specialty is energy: frequencies, and what happens when the body gets the right environment. On our energy day, they're creating a one-of-a-kind signature experience for us. What exactly they have planned stays a surprise, and you don't have to believe anything here. Just bring your curiosity.
Flow happens when your energy gathers around one thing, and that takes focus and a decision. Together we'll find out what's next for you. Then you decide.
Five days of reconnecting with yourself and your life. You'll feel what that does to you long after the week is over.
You experience what truly feels right for you and turn it into your own flow formula, built for your real life instead of copied from a book.
After this week, you'll have people in your corner who help you stay on track. Because after five days this intense, you're not just connected anymore. You're allies.
The most dangerous day of any retreat is the first Monday after. That's why flowDEEP doesn't end at the airport. It works like training: the week sets the stimulus, and the real growth happens in the weeks that follow. Which is exactly when I won't leave you on your own.
Five days at the quinta
Landing back in everyday life, one-on-one
Staying on course and fine-tuning, one-on-one again
Mail from you to you, written on the last evening
And in between, your group stays connected: with its own space in the flowTRIBE, for as long as you want to keep it.
Twenty hectares in the Arrábida Natural Park, just under an hour south of Lisbon. Between old cork oaks you'll find a fire circle on the hill, an open pavilion for the morning practice, and rooms made of wood, clay, and light. This place has nothing in common with a seminar hotel. The quinta is designed with so much care that it feels like home from the very first moment: there's space to think, nature to breathe in, and a long table where strangers turn into friends surprisingly fast.
“I've been carrying this idea with me for years: a retreat with ambitious people who love life, built around deepening the psychology of flow. After more than 300 podcast conversations, I know one thing above all: knowledge is no longer what we lack. The next level is experience. But something always got in the way: first the flowFEST, then another book, then I wanted the concept to be perfect. At some point, I took my own advice and simply began. Because everything great starts with a first step.”
Max Gotzler, your host
flowDEEP didn't come out of nowhere. For four cohorts, I ran flowX, an online mentoring program for entrepreneurs and leaders, with people who truly changed things. What struck me: the program was an excellent starting point, but the deepest moments always happened when we met in person.
So I asked myself: if coming together is the most powerful and best-loved part of the whole program, why not continue exactly there? flowDEEP is the answer, grown out of many years of online work. Now we move from the screen into real life, and with that, from method to experience.
“The one-on-one coaching with Max opened up new perspectives for me. The group sessions and the intense breathwork session made me emotionally stronger.”
Marlene, entrepreneur, flowX participant
Founder of Flowgrade, host of the flowFEST, and author of Die Flow-Formel. In more than 300 podcast conversations, he has learned from the best minds in health and peak performance. At the quinta, he takes time for your one-on-one and holds the thread that runs through the week.
Mindset coach, personal trainer, and sports therapist, a close companion of Max for years and a mainstay of the flowFEST. His guiding question: what makes a person truly come alive? At the quinta, he gets you moving and creates the moments when the head finally follows the body.
Physiotherapist and breath coach, part of the Flowgrade family for years and a hands-on supporter of the flowFEST from day one. He combines modern therapy with deep breathwork, scientifically grounded and experience-driven at the same time. At the quinta, he leads the breathing sessions, often accompanied by the soothing sounds of his handpan.
Quinta do Amor, Portugal · 5 nights
Six of the eight spots are already taken. Deliberately small and thoughtfully composed: you get your own room, and if you come as a pair, you share a double room. The en-suite rooms are assigned in order of booking.
Pioneer price for the first group: exactly 1,000 EUR below the future price of 4,900 EUR. Your own room, meals, the full program, and the follow-up (two 1:1 calls + your letter) included; travel to Lisbon not included. As a pair: 3,600 EUR per person in a double room. Deposit 900 EUR, balance of 3,000 EUR due 28 days before the start, or in three interest- and fee-free installments of 1,000 EUR. All prices are final and include VAT.
Flow, movement, and breathwork: three guides for eight participants, plus the team on site.
It matters to me that everyone who comes to the quinta feels completely at ease and has an experience unlike any other. Eight people who truly fit together matter more to me than eight full beds. That's why everything starts with a conversation, where you get to know me and I get to know you.
We talk for 20 minutes. You share where you're at, ask your questions, and I ask mine. No strings attached.
Then we both take our time to decide. If this week isn't the right one for you, I'll tell you openly, and you'll tell me.
If it's a fit, you secure your spot with a 900 EUR deposit. Four weeks before departure, we start preparing together.
You pick your slot right in the calendar, and we talk for 20 minutes without any rush. Calls run until mid-September.
flowDEEP is hosted in German and English. Most of the group so far speaks German, and as soon as English speakers join us, we switch to English or translate on the spot. Everything that matters to you personally works fully in English: your one-on-one with Max, both follow-up calls, and the conversations at the long table.
No, really not. The whole week is about feeling, not performing. Everything intense, like cold and breathwork, is voluntary and closely guided, with clear boundaries. We'll talk calmly about your health beforehand, and we take that seriously.
Both, and deliberately so. Everything we do has a physiological foundation: cold, breath, light, rhythm, movement. If you ask about the why, we'll gladly explain. On site, though, you'll mostly experience these things instead of hearing lectures about them.
It's actually a great fit: more than half the group will be on their first retreat. You don't need any experience. The one thing you do need to bring is the willingness to show up as yourself.
Eight participants. Add Max, Fabian, and Julian, the hosts of the quinta, and two guests of our main partner. The circle is small enough that nobody gets lost, and big enough that a real group forms.
Most people arrive on their own, and if you know someone in the group, you are welcome to team up. We pick you up at Lisbon airport, and once you are at the quinta, you won't be alone anyway.
You fly to Lisbon and book the flight yourself. From the airport, it's about fifty minutes to the quinta, and we're happy to take care of the pickup.
The quinta's own kitchen feeds us all week with fresh, high-quality meals. Your preferences are part of that, whether vegetarian, with fish, or with meat. Just let us know beforehand what you need. And on one evening, we all cook together.
You can transfer your spot to a suitable person up to 7 days before the start of the trip. This right is anchored in EU package travel law. Everything else is covered by the travel terms (currently available in German), which you receive before booking.
Yes, that works: in three interest- and fee-free installments. We go through the details together in our call.
Yes, very gladly. Pairs share a double room and pay 3,600 EUR per person. In our call, we find out together whether the week is right for both of you.
Because you belong to the first group. You help shape this first edition, give us your feedback, and get the best price there will ever be in return. This pioneer phase happens exactly once, and it won't come back.
flowDEEP is the deepening of everything I've learned in ten years of Flowgrade. Behind it stands a simple conviction: what the world needs isn't more people who function. It's people who have come alive.
