Leadership Retreats · Top Management Coaching · Executive Intensives

Not lost. Just on autopilot. Let's put you back in the driver's seat.

You didn't sign up to produce another deck — you're here to change how your organization actually works. Push for that and you'll meet resistance: politics, pushback, people who liked it fine the old way. Enough of that, enough times, and even the strongest leaders start eyeing the exit. This is where you get strengthened at the root — in your presence, pleasure and power, the real thing, not the performance of it — so you can carry the change through instead of just pitching it. Whatever path you take: ongoing 1:1 top management coaching, an Executive Intensive built entirely around you, or eight days with other leaders at the Leadership Retreats, "Back to Essence."

Anikó Cerne
Sound familiar?
  • Your body is somewhere behind your laptop.
  • Your mind never stops, and your emotions get managed instead of felt.
  • You are everywhere — every meeting, every message — and nowhere, really.
  • From the outside, everything works.
You are not broken. You're ready for the next version of yourself.

You want to create real impact. It starts with you — not restored to who you were, but risen into what you're capable of becoming. You will use your hands. You will get dirty. You will slow down. Simple life. Real work. Real change.

About

Anikó

30+Years in and for the corporate world
ThousandsPeople she's worked with

Anikó has spent 30+ years in and for the corporate world: inside it, then consulting to it from the outside, working with thousands of people and hundreds of leaders along the way. She knows the world her clients come from because she's lived it, from both sides. Business degree, leadership coach, top management consultant, trained in psychology, hypnotherapy, generative trance, and somatic embodiment. Science-based. Internationally grounded. Clear.

With Anikó, leaders stop performing. They get seen — clearly, without judgment. They say things out loud they've never said before, and leave with more clarity, more energy, and more of themselves than they arrived with.

She's direct, and she provokes — with humor and kindness, never cruelty. She has a sense of humor and will absolutely call you out if you're hiding behind your own intelligence. Which, in her experience, clever people do constantly.

About Temorah World
Anikó Cerne

Temorah World is where leaders stop reacting to disruption and start navigating it: clear, grounded, and steady no matter what's shifting around them.

Change is what you do. Transformation is who you become.

Most leadership work stops at behavior: a new framework, a better habit, another slide for the deck. Temorah World goes further, into the body, the unconscious, the patterns underneath what actually gets said out loud in the room.

This is for people ready to change themselves, not just talk about it. No fluff, no sugar-coating. Fast when it needs to be fast, slow when change actually takes time, because becoming someone new was never going to happen on a quarterly timeline.

The Name

Temorah is built from three pieces. TEM means temple: a structure strong enough to hold real change while you transform. It is a sacred structure. Stability. Foundation. Inner architecture. And the first one, the one everything else gets built on, is your own body. ORA means light: the moment you finally see what's actually been running your life. H means breath: proof, in your own body, that you're present instead of performing.

Presence. Pleasure. Power.

Not theoretical concepts. Lived experience — physical, mental, emotional. This isn't only about doing things differently. It's about becoming different.

Presence

Back into your body. Not the past. Not the future. Back in the here and now.

Pleasure

Not a luxury. A necessity. The first thing high performers sacrifice — and essential to be fully alive.

Power

Not performance. Not status. The grounded kind that goes beyond ego and games.

Not sure this is you? That's exactly what the call is for.

How We Work Together

One practice. Four ways in.

Same directness, same depth — matched to the amount of time and exposure you're ready for right now.

Where This Stands On AI

AI is everywhere. This retreat isn't about that.

Every company is racing to put AI into everything, leadership development included. This goes the other way, on purpose. The more AI can do, the more the real question becomes what actually makes you human: not your expertise, not being the most knowledgeable person in the room anymore, but your presence, your judgment, your ability to lead yourself before you try to lead anyone else.

If I can't lead myself, how do I lead others?

During the retreat itself, it's you, your body, and the people next to you. No screens, no shortcuts. The one place technology does show up is afterward: a digital tool to help you integrate what changed, once you're back home.

Inside The Leadership Retreats

Science-based. Ancient ground.

The Nile island at golden hour, near Aswan, Egypt The old village on the island, rebuilt by the local community

We don't work on theoretical concepts, but lived experience: through breath work, somatic movement, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, generative trance, neuroscience and psychology, and through real physical work alongside a local community rebuilding an old village. Not as a visitor. As a contributor.

It is packed and intense, by design. You will leave different — not fixed, there was nothing wrong with you to begin with, but clearer, more alive, more yourself.

A Day Inside The Retreat
  1. Bodywork — the day starts in the body, not the inbox.
  2. Brunch, then group coaching.
  3. 1:1 sessions, or hands-in-the-earth work in the village.
  4. Early dinner, then an evening session before rest.
  5. A half-day set aside entirely for a guided tour.

Why This Island
Sunset over the Nile from the retreat island near Aswan

A responsibility, not a resort.

Every retreat happens in exactly one place — this time, a small island on the Nile near Aswan — chosen for what it does to a person who finally stops moving. Not for the thread count. Every future retreat, wherever it lands, gets picked the same way.

Leadership is leaving everyone and everything in better condition than you found it.

Part of every retreat is real physical work alongside the local community rebuilding an old village — not a donation, not an excursion, actual labor, done by you, next to them. Hotels optimize margins. We leave things better than we found them. Including you.

Back to Essence — Men

Eight days for male leaders done running on autopilot — done being read by other men, measured, sized up. Not restored to who he was — risen into what he's capable of becoming.

Facilitated by Anikó. Leaders stop performing. They get seen — clearly, without judgement.
Why a woman leads this retreat: most men have spent their career being read by other men — measured, sized up, positioned against. With Anikó there's nothing to prove, and nothing to compete for. That's what lets her see what's actually in the room.

From the island
"Anikó was fantastic. Full focus and attention, deep and funny, very aware and a full professional in her line of work. The retreat really touched me holistically — body, mind, and soul. It was both relaxing and demanding, mentally and physically."
