Zen Founder Retreats
A wise investment
Can you see yourself sitting on the deck of a mountain chalet, journal in hand, jotting down an idea that will transform the way you run your business?
Sounds too good to be true?
It’s not. Taking regular retreats is one of the best things you can do for yourself as a leader. A retreat is a powerful practice. It is not a vacation. It is not a time out. A retreat is a focused time in. If done well, an annual retreat can be your catalyst for enormous productivity, assumption-shattering creativity, and deep growth.
There's no question that a retreat should be a standard part of every leader's schedule.
But how do you get started? How do you make the most of your time? How do you translate the mountain top to the Monday scrum meeting?

Join us for a time of connection, depth, great conversation, and play at a beautiful, private retreat center on the Ojai Valley of Southern California. You'll be surrounded by a small group of entrepreneurs and their better halves.
There’s only room for 6 couples, so hold your space by filling out the form below. We’ll follow up with more information right away.
Can I walk you through it?
I’ve written a brief guide to founder retreats and have recorded a few podcasts specifically on this topic: Getting Started with Retreats and A Deep Dive on Retreats.
I’m happy to work with you to plan your personal retreat, or a retreat for your company.
Personal Retreat
Before you go, I’ll help you identify the specific questions to reflect on and craft a plan to help you organize your time. We’ll schedule a mid-retreat conversation to help you deepen your reflections or adjust your tactics. After your retreat I’ll debrief with you and help you form epiphanies into actionable strategies.
Company Retreat
You want to lead a team that is highly motivated, low-drama, and excellent at what they do.
Can you imagine your team wearing flip flips, sitting under a cabana by the ocean? They’re talking about how they’d shoot a video series featuring your star customers dressed as superheros. It’s a little silly. But maybe genius. Creativity happens when people play together.
A retreat is a big investment. I can help you optimize the return with a combination of talks and interactive experiences. Let’s create team connection, focus, relaxation, and fun(!).
