What is a personal strategy retreat?
A personal strategy retreat is an opportunity to recalibrate your life, career or business, start a new chapter, tweak the plot, find a way through obstacles, tap into an inspired place filled with enthusiasm and resources—whatever it takes to point you in the direction of greater possibilities.
It creates space to align your inner motivation with your outer contribution. Otherwise, we can find ourselves playing defense, reacting to the urgency of proximate issues, operating within the framework of an old narrative that may no longer fit the person we are today, or worse, drifting unconsciously.
This is great option for people who want to step away from their day-to-day and work intensively on personal visions and goals alongside a strategic guide.
If you are passionate about the path that you are already on, you might be ready to expand the horizon and take things to the next level.
If you are ready for a different path, you can form a new vision, build a plan to change directions, and create a new personal narrative.
“From rethinking your career to recalibrating priorities in your personal life, this retreat will offer fresh perspectives and allow you to focus on whatever is most critical to you at the present moment.”

Who it is for:
People with an inherent desire to be the creative visionaries of their own journeys, and the willingness to enter into the expansive terrain of possibilities. Those with a sense that their lives or careers can be something more meaningful. Those seeking to develop their vision or make change of some sort. Business leaders, scientists, tech executives, agency professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, recent university graduates, newly retired… and anyone who is ready to reinvent and try something new.
This is a wonderful solo opportunity, or alongside a small group of your making. It is also a terrific opportunity for an organizational team with a shared mission, to envision the next chapter, and create a legacy.
““You don’t have to have a ‘situation’ to deal with to benefit from a retreat of this kind. They’re for people who are ready to embrace life (career/business) and act positively. The Strategic Space Retreats help you plan your future, give yourself a creative reboot and realize your dreams. You’ll leave energized and focused.”

Retreat options:
Virtual retreats: Whether you choose to retreat yourself from the comfort of your own home, or a destination of your own choosing, this is a popular option for people who want to experience an expertly guided retreat with more schedule flexibility, and without the added expense of travel and its environmental impact. Typically we’d meet during a 4-day period either over a working week, or spaced out for more time in between sessions. Available year round.
Private retreats for yourself or a group of your own making, occur throughout the year in France (Bourgogne or Paris), or pop-up locations which may be closer to you. Each private retreat is customized, based on individual needs, at agreed upon dates. To learn more about private retreats (all inclusive or self-catered), send an email and we will discuss. Available year round.
Group retreats usually happen just once per year, at a French chateau, on an Italian private island, and other inspiring locations around the world. It is a small curated group of creative visionaries who want to explore alongside others. These group retreat are announced here, and via email, when we are accepting applications. If you want to be notified of the next retreat, please send me an email to be added to the announcement list.
