I DON’T DO CLICHÉ RETREATS
I blend adventure with luxury, medicine with fire, safety with madness, and expression with freedom.
To create experiences that change how you see yourself, the world, and what comes next.

Step Into Something That
Stays With You
These adventures aren’t designed to soothe you, they’re designed to meet you.
To place you in extraordinary environments, alongside remarkable people, and invite the kind of experiences that ask something of you.
The settings are beautiful. The work isn’t always comfortable.
It’s expansive, and at times confronting. From psychedelic-led therapeutic work and dynamic relating, to moments of stillness, play, and shared intensity.
This isn’t passive. And it’s not for everyone.
But if you feel the pull, you’ll understand why.
Clarity sharpens. Energy returns. Perspective shifts.
And what unfolds here continues to move through you long after you leave.
How These Adventures Are Held
Real change rarely happens inside what’s familiar. It happens when the environment shifts, when you’re placed somewhere beautiful, alive, and slightly outside your comfort zone, alongside people who are willing to meet themselves and each other honestly.
These adventures are deliberately designed to do just that. They bring together adventure and depth, challenge and care, structure and spontaneity. Through a mix of immersive experiences, relational work, and therapeutic processes, you’re invited into something that engages you fully, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
In the right setting, with the right people, things begin to reorganise. The noise quiets. Perspective sharpens. What once felt tangled starts to move. This work isn’t rushed and it isn’t forced, but it is real. And when it lands, it carries forward into how you live, work, and relate long after the retreat ends.
What makes these adventures so special?
It’s not one thing, it’s what happened when everything meets.
I’m very particular about who comes, where you go and what we do when we get there.
None of these things work on their own.
Put them together properly and the experience takes on a life of its own.
The People
Who’s in the room changes everything
I bring together people who are already doing interesting things with their lives.
Founders, Creatives, Leaders, People from completely different worlds, each with their own experience, perspective and something worth sharing.
I’m careful about the mix. I don’t want a room full of people who agree with eachother. I want people who are curious, open and willing to get involved.
Nobody comes to sit at the back.
The Environment
If I’m going to ask a lot of you, I want everything around you to take care of you.
The places are exceptional. The food is incredible.
The details are handled properly.
There’s space to disappear when you need it and plenty happening when you don’t.
The luxury isn’t there for show. It allows you to drop your guard, stop managing the practical things and give yourself fully to what’s happening.
The environment does more of the work than people realise.
The Co-Creation
I don’t want to stand at the front of a room for four days.
Everyone who comes bring something.
A skill, a story, a practice, a question. Something they’ve lived through or become unusually good at.
I create the structure, bring the people together and hold the experience. But what happens inside it belongs to everyone.
The group doesn’t simply attend the adventure. The group makes it.
The Edge
We go into the things people are usually very good at avoiding.
Relationships, Pleasure, Boundaries, Communication, Desire, Ambition, Fear. The ways you protect yourself and the parts of you that rarely get much room.
The work can include relational practice, challenging conversations, immersive experiences and carefully held psychedelic psychotherapy.
It can be uncomfortable.
It can be incredibly freeing.
I’m not interested in pushing anyone for the sake of it. But I am interested in what becomes possible when we stop circling around the thing and finally go towards it.
If you’re looking for easy, comfortable or predictable, this isn’t for you.
But if you feel the pull for something deeper, more honest and a little bit unknown… you’ll feel right at home.
It’s One Thing to Read About It.
It’s another to hear it from those who’ve been through it.

Where We’re Going Next
Each adventure is shaped by the place that holds it. Not just for its beauty, but for its energy, its rhythm, and what it invites from those who step into it. These locations aren’t backdrops, they’re active participants in the experience.
From wild and expansive landscapes to places that naturally invite depth and release, each setting is chosen for how it supports the work. Not to impose a theme, but to create the conditions for clarity, movement, and real change to emerge in the way it needs to.
Burning Man
August 29th – September 6th, 2027.
Burning Man strips things back. No roles. No spectators. No comfort zones. Just creativity, connection, and raw experience in the desert.
This is a high-intensity experience for people who want to feel more alive, not more comfortable. Expect challenge, expression, deep connection, and moments that change how you see yourself and the world you move through.
Bali
November 19th – 22nd, 2026.
Bali brings you back to yourself, through play, connection, and movement. It’s creative, social, and expansive. A place where imagination wakes up and things begin to flow again.
This is about shared experience, exploration, and depth without heaviness. Expect fun, adventure, meaningful connection, and a renewed sense of ease in who you are and how you live.
Ireland
January 7th – 10th, 2027.
Ireland runs deeper for me. Raw, grounded, and quietly powerful, it’s where I grew up and where much of me was formed. A place that pulls you into something more honest, whether you’re ready for it or not.
This experience is about truth, depth, and real connection. Expect stillness, honesty, clarity, and moments that ask you to properly face what’s actually there before stepping into the year ahead.
What Sets These Adventures Apart
Most retreats give you an experience.
These adventures work on you.
Nothing is kept on the surface. Nothing is dressed up to feel comfortable.
What’s actually there, in how you think, feel, relate, and lead, gets seen, challenged, and moved.
That’s what makes it different.
Met Properly
You’re not one of many here.
You’re seen, challenged, and worked with directly, based on what’s actually going on for you.
The work is responsive, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable.
Not about performance. Not about fixing.
About seeing clearly, and moving forward properly.
The People You’re With
Who you’re with matters. The people here are open, capable, and willing to go there. Not watching. Not sitting back.
That changes everything.
The conversations are real. The connections are immediate.
And what starts here doesn’t just disappear when you leave.
Full Immersion
This isn’t a break from life.
It’s stepping into it, properly.
You’re immersed in the environment, the people, and the work. No distractions. No half-engagement.
Through challenge, depth, play, and shared moments, something shifts.
Not because it’s forced.
Because you’re fully in it.
If This Feels Right, Trust It.
Most people who come on these adventures can’t completely explain what pulled them towards one.
They simply know there’s something here they don’t want to ignore.
These experiences are intentionally small, and I care deeply about who’s in the room. Not because everyone needs to be alike, but because the mix of people shapes everything that follows.
The application is simply a chance for me to understand a little more about you. Who you are. Where you are in your life. What’s drawing you towards this, and what you might bring to the experience yourself.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
Just tell me what’s true.
If it feels right from both sides, we’ll have a conversation and take it from there.
