out of reach: finding something better to reach for
Two episodes from 8–14 May and 11–17 June 2027 will be about digital detox!
There’s an app to track your screen time, an app to block other apps, and an app that grows a little tree if you leave your phone alone. Maybe that says less about our willpower than about how our phones are designed: to keep us scrolling. Entire teams work on holding our attention for as long as possible. Fighting that on your own, with yet another app, is exhausting.
Most of us know the feeling. You pick up your phone to check one thing, and twenty minutes later you’re somewhere else entirely, not quite sure how you got there. You reach for it at red lights, in queues, in the first minute after waking up. Not because something important is waiting, but because the habit is stronger than the moment.
This week, we’re trying something simpler. No strict rules, no one collecting phones at the door. Instead, we fill the days with things that pull you in on their own: mornings in the water, learning to read the waves, yoga as the light changes, long meals together, maybe a good book that let’s us forget about time. It’s hard to scroll when days are full of fun!
This isn’t about going off-grid forever. It’s about noticing what happens when the urge to check has something better to compete with, and doing that with a group that’s doing the same thing.
A week where your phone isn’t the first thing you reach for.
GOOD TO KNOW
Do we take your phone away?
No. Your phone stays with you. There are no rules and no one is checking. We’ll simply make it easy to forget about it for a while. And if you’d like a little extra help, you can always leave it with us for the day.
Surfing has been Anna’s and Jana’s driving force for years, taking us to new places and allowing us to meet the most incredible people. In 2023 and 2025, we became certified surf instructors, giving us the chance to share our passion with others. Teaching lets us pass on the joy and freedom we feel in the ocean and help people discover their own connection to the waves. We can’t wait to share this passion with you!
Apart from the surf lessons, we’ll have one video analysis session and one surf theory class. In these sessions, we’ll guide you through everything from tides and currents to how to improve your technique.
Surfing is optional – you can book the surf package if it suits you, or simply enjoy the retreat without joining the lessons.
Once Jana, co-founder of tshau, discovered surfing, it felt only natural to pair it with a daily yoga practice. Yoga not only strengthens the body and improves balance, but also cultivates mindfulness and a deeper connection to oneself.
In 2025, she completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and immediately continued her education with a 50-hour Yin Yoga certification to deepen her practice and expand her understanding of the gentle, meditative aspects of yoga.
During the retreat, you’ll be able to enjoy daily yoga classes designed to help you unwind, recharge, and connect more deeply with your body and breath.
With Jana’s Master of Science in Psychology, she has built a set of skills that she now loves combining with her passion for surfing and yoga.
To her, psychology blends naturally with both disciplines, offering space for mindfulness, resilience, and personal development. We are excited to create two workshops, open conversations, and design programs that bring these worlds together. By that, supporting others in discovering their potential and strengthening their connection to themselves and the world around them.
During the week, all meals are cooked by Anna, co-founder of tshau. Expect a mix of comforting favourites and fresh inspiration from her travels, think pumpkin soup, colourful bowls or a sweet, fruity tomato salad. And thanks to our open kitchen policy, you’ll never go hungry in between.
Anna believes good food doesn’t need to be complicated: a handful of beautiful ingredients, prepared with care. Meals are shared around one table, a moment to slow down, swap stories and laugh together. It’s simple: we want you to feel welcome, cared for and at home.
Located in the heart of Hossegor, we will stay in a beautiful, true-to-Hossegor villa. Only a short walk from the beach, perfect for slow mornings, relaxed surf sessions, and soaking up the late-summer atmosphere. With plenty of space to unwind, shared meals in the garden, and the ocean just around the corner, it’s the ideal setting for a week of movement, connection, and inspiration.
