This May 19-23, myself and a group of wildly wonderful neurodivergent business minds will gather in the magical Yugen Forest, Netherlands for 5 days of deep rest, connection, business creativity, and nervous system regulation.

We’ve got a few tickets left – and a little bit of funding still available to help make it possible for the right humans. So if you’re even a tiny bit curious, now’s the time.

Expect:
🌿 spaciousness
🌀 creative business sessions
💬 real convos with people who get it
🛖 glamping + cabins in a peaceful ND-friendly setting

This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a reset. And a rare chance to breathe alongside brilliant, business-minded neurodivergent people like you.

🎟️ Email hello@yosamdysam.com right away if you want in.

🌿 Wild Brains Retreat: Partial Funding Available!
(If cost was the thing stopping you, this might be your moment.)

Thanks to some generous sponsorship from Leibniz University Hannover, we’ve already been able to offer a few fully funded spots at the Wild Brains Retreat this May (all filled) — and excitingly we have a little funding left to support a few more of you.

✨ We can offer up to 50% off for a couple of places, which means your ticket could be €900 ex VAT instead of €1800.

📍 May 19–23 | Yugen Forest, Netherlands
🧠 For neurodivergent entrepreneurs, small business owners, and changemakers
💤 Real beds, nourishing food, gentle structure, and zero small talk pressure

If you’ve been dreaming of being in this space but couldn’t make the full price work, we’d love to hear from you.

Here’s how to apply:
📧 Email hello@yosamdysam.com before the end of Sunday with:
– A short intro (who you are, what you do, and where you live)
– A couple of sentences about why you’d love to join us and what level of financial support you need to make it work

That’s it. No hoops, no long forms. Just be real.

There are only a couple of these part-funded spots available, and we’ll let you know early next week if it’s a match.

Additionally, if you can afford the full price, there are only 5 spots remaining, so book your spot now to avoid disappointment --> wildbrains.my.canva.site/netherlands2025

Hope to see you there! 🌳

I wanted to share something special that might be of interest to many of you in this community. I’m hosting another Wild Brains Retreat this May (held at the same location as last year, at Yugen Forest here in the Netherlands), and while it’s designed for neurodivergent entrepreneurs and professionals, the focus is on recharging, reconnecting with your purpose, and gaining clarity on your direction - whether you’re building a business or just figuring things out.

If you’re tired of the burnout, exhaustion, and feeling like you have to keep pushing yourself harder to "make it," this retreat could be exactly what you need. Imagine a space where you can be fully YOU, without the mask, and with people who get it. The Wild Brains Retreat is all about harnessing your energy and creativity in a way that’s sustainable, so you can thrive in every part of your life, not just your work.

What you’ll get: ✨ Time to rest and reset, so you can move forward with fresh energy ✨ A supportive community of neurodivergent professionals and entrepreneurs ✨ Business support (yes, but without the hustle or burnout) ✨ A chance to reflect, recharge, and find your rhythm for the long haul

If this sounds like something you’d love to know more about, I’d love for you to join the mailing list to get all the details. There’s no pressure to commit, but it’s a great way to stay in the loop!

I can’t wait for this retreat - it’s going to be such an exciting and transformative experience for everyone who joins!

I know it's been A GOOD WHILE, but the next podcast episode of Awkward Conversations will be available to watch tonight (or now for members). Please help my channel stay alive a little bit while I'm working on my book and not able to make much content...

Thanks for all your votes on the poll yesterday - in almost 1000 autistic voters, 77% of you reported that trauma has impacted your life "a lot", which just goes to show that trauma care as it currently stands is not fit for purpose for us autistic people. Hopefully my book will contribute in a small way to changing that.

In the meantime, I have two new podcast episodes that have been in an editing backlog (I spoke to Sarah Hendrickx last May...!) which will be out *soon*. My podcast can be watched here on YouTube but you can also find it on Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/0E4fE74KGi8Xt6x9DrVe8U?si=b1… or Amazon Music/Audible.

Hello YouTube friends! Some of you might know that I am currently writing a book about autism and trauma, due to be published by JKP in 2026. My question to the autistic people (Self-DX valid) is, how has trauma impacted your life? Feel free to explain further in the comments, try to avoid trauma dumping for my own sake and the sake of others though!

For those who like numbers my current word count is at 38,715 across 10 chapters.

Taking a short break from going full Book Writing Goblin to share this adorable unicorn I made and to tell you that I am now on BlueSky, you can find me here: bsky.app/profile/yosamdysam.bsky.social/ or search @yosamdysam

Writing is going very well, and I hope to be largely done with the draft in about 3 months. The book is about autism and trauma and will be published by JKP in ~2026.

Give this post a like to remind the YouTube Gods that I am still relevant, even when I can't produce video content.

Hope to be back on YouTube intermittently and especially after my book is done.

Wishing you all the best during this difficult political time. Can highly recommend hyperfixating on crocheting mythical creatures as an avenue of mental escape.
