Start Your Own Thing
A 5-day experience to reset your mindset and create the foundations for your business.
This retreat is for aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs ready to stop circling the idea and start taking action. It’s about the shift that happens when you commit—to yourself, your idea, and the vision you’ve been putting off.
WHY THIS RETREAT
We know the real challenge isn’t a lack of strategy, funding, or connections—it’s the internal resistance.
The fear of the unknown. The self-doubt. The part of you that says not yet.
This retreat is about moving through that fear with clarity, support, and momentum. You’ll shift from overthinking to action, with a mix of mindset work, coaching, tools, and business guidance from those who’ve been where you are.
Whether you're refining an idea or ready to fully commit to building a business, this experience creates the space and the structure to make it happen. With a supportive group, honest conversations, and expert insight, you'll leave not just inspired, but ready to build.
For the (soon-to-be) corporate dropouts - the ones who know they’re meant for more. Whether you’re still in the job, half out the door, or already making the leap, this retreat is for you if:
WHO IT’S FOR
You keep waiting for something or someone to give you that final push to quit.
You wake up thinking, “I can’t do this all over again.”
The promotions, stock options, and company wins don’t excite you anymore.
You know you’re meant for something more fulfilling - something with real purpose.
You’ve got a million ideas but can’t seem to connect the dots or commit to one.
You struggle with consistency - bursts of motivation, but no momentum.
You spiral into self-doubt and imposter syndrome when you think about starting something of your own.
You want to build a business but don’t have many people in your life who’s done it - no role models, no roadmap.
You worry what people will think and whether your ideas will really work.
You feel stuck either in getting started, or moving forward with the thing you’ve already begun.
Sounds familiar?
Apply now and let’s explore if this retreat is the right next move for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A space to explore, reflect, and grow surrounded by corporate dropouts, purpose-driven builders, and others navigating the messy middle just like you.
-
No fluff, just strategies & frameworks that moves you forward.
Sparring with founders and experts to establish realistic business models that merge purpose with (self)leadership, pragmatism.
-
Resilience. Clarity. Confidence from the inside out.
We go beyond surface-level motivation to work through fear, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs.
With the support of psychologists and coaches, you'll get science-backed tools and practices (like breathwork, meditation, and nervous system regulation) to build inner stability for the rollercoaster ahead.
-
Real talk. Real support.
Connect with like-minded people navigating the same leap - sharing openly, experimenting together, and holding each other accountable. You won’t be doing this alone.
This isn’t a wellness retreat or a business bootcamp. It’s a space to get real about what you want to build, who you want to become and to do it with people who truly get it!

“I came into the retreat feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. Now, I feel like I don’t have to live in a way that makes me unhappy. Even when I feel stuck, I know there’s a way forward. The people had the biggest impact—it was a safe, judgment-free space that felt like home. I’m leaving with new habits, especially journaling.”
