We both experienced major life changes – divorces, new homes, new countries, new careers – and along the way, we learned that life is a series of chapters. You can turn the page whenever you need to.

Nearly a decade later, our paths crossed again. By then, Jasmina was living in Dubai and had just published her book ‘From Tapas to Towers’, an open-hearted, witty look at moving abroad, navigating culture shifts, and creating a new life from scratch. Nathalie was leading transformational retreats in the Netherlands, Spain and Morocco, creating warm, welcoming spaces for women to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.

It felt natural – inevitable – that we’d work together again. The idea for The Next Chapter Club came to life over conversations about slowing down, reading, and creating the kind of retreat we’d love to attend ourselves: one with enriching activities, beautiful surroundings, and the freedom to do exactly as much (or as little) as you want.
