“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me”.

Some questions, some answers
Who’s it for?
We hand select purpose-driven and diverse individuals who can inspire and learn from one another. You’ll be with a conscious group of curious humans whom you will walk the path of expansion and self-discovery with.
You’ll meet seasoned leaders or innovators in their field. Whether you are an entrepreneur, creative, scientist, explorer, or artist.
What’s truly important is that you’re open to self-inquiry, have the courage to show up vulnerably and allow yourself to connect beyond the superficial.
What's this retreat about?
A transformational journey surrounded by peers in paradise, followed by an online accountability program to ensure you can integrate your experience – cor:age will help you intentionally craft a more courageous, fulfilling and purposeful path forward.
This is not your typical “time off” – and it might turn out to be the most rewarding time out you’ve taken yet. We’ll be stripping away our conditioning, unpacking our fears and getting in touch with our authentic self.
We’ll support you along the way – with Colombia’s most renowned transpersonal psychotherapist, and fellow entrepreneurial humans mining for your true potential.
Why Colombia?
We’re going to the Sierra Nevada, which is often referred to as “the heart of the world” – a pristine jungle area bordering the Caribbean coastline, steeped with a jaw dropping history and preserved ancestral wisdom.
The Sierra feels worlds away from most of our everyday lives. You’ll embark on a pilgrimage in service of your highest self. The serene location we’ve chosen for this retreat is the perfect place to do just that.
The only risk is you might want to stay.
Will I be reachable?
This retreat is fully unplugged so you can go deep. We will be collecting all electronic devices on day two. In case of emergency, we have a phone number where your loved ones can reach us.
Why are we going offline?
We want you to be the sharpest version of yourself. Digital distractions are exactly that; distractions. Innovative ideas don’t sprout from business meetings and in between work e-mail. They find their origins in moments of rest. We want you to experience our Re-Treats without interruptions because it will help you live them to the fullest.
