Unlead Retreats

Step away. Come back stronger.

This isn’t a wellness getaway. It’s a no-BS recalibration for leaders ready to stop spinning and start leading from within.

Don’t wait for burnout to make the decision for you. That’s not a sign—it’s a breakdown.

Unlead retreats.

You got the outcomes they said would satisfy you.

They didn’t.

This is not spiritual Disneyland.

It’s a reckoning.

No cold plunges. No vision boards. No templates for ‘your best life.’

Just you, outside your default environment, looking at what you’ve been dragging along.

You don’t escape here. You meet what you’ve been avoiding.

And leave with something better than clarity: your Self.

December 4th - December 8th, 2025.

Let's Talk

Who shows up for this.

Not the curious.

The cooked.

You don’t need a title to lead. But you do need to be done with what’s run its course.

  • The founder whose exit didn’t scratch the itch.

  • The operator whose grin is hanging on by dental glue.

  • The parent mid-unraveling, mid-transition, mid-“what the hell is next?”

  • The one still running at a pace that stopped serving long ago.

If you’ve been the one holding it together—for your team, your company, your family—and you’re done pretending you’re fine... This is your room.

What we ask:

  • Show up willing to be undone.

  • Leave your frameworks at the door.

  • What’s been unraveling isn’t the problem. It’s the invitation.

This isn’t where you get answers.

It’s where you remember how to ask the right questions.

If that scares you a little, good.

Not everyone’s ready.

That’s the point.

Explore Upcoming Retreats

This isn’t wellness theater.

Most retreats give you a gratitude journal and a juice cleanse and call it shadow work.

You chant. You set intentions. You feel… vaguely inspired.

Then Monday hits—and nothing’s actually changed.

This isn’t that.

Sure, we might burn sage.

But not over your performance review. And not to impress your inner influencer.

It’s to clear the static so we can get to the signal.

This isn’t about curated peak states or finding your inner sparkle.

It’s about asking the part of you that’s been running the show if it’s still fit to lead.

We don’t reset your vibe.

We disrupt your pattern.

You won’t leave with a tote bag and Tide stick.

You’ll leave with fewer illusions and a new kind of gravity.

This is a recalibration for your conscience, not your calendar.

Not for the curious. For those who want to be cracked wide open.

Not sure what you’re holding underneath the surface?

The 3AM Test might show you what’s been running the show.

Why 3 AM?

Format + flow.

We run both open enrollment and private cohort retreats.

Open Enrollment: You apply, we curate. A diverse circle of leaders ready to go deep.

Private Retreats: For those serious about building something meaningful—from the inside out.

Each retreat includes:

  • A pre-retreat reflection call

  • A 5-day immersive experience

  • Post-retreat integration session

Locations vary based on legal settings for psychedelic work. Costa Rica. Oregon. Canada. Mexico. The Netherlands. You get the idea.

You won’t resume where you left off. You’ll return anchored in something deeper.


What each day looks like.

Each day strips something back and locks something in.

DAY 1: ARRIVAL & INITIATION

Theme: Ground Zero

You land. You slow down. And you start noticing what you’ve been dragging behind success like a dead limb.

Teaching: What Unleading actually is (and what it’s definitely not)

Practice: Inventory how you’ve been leading—by force, habit, or presence

Dialogue: What roles are still running the show? What identities are past their expiration date?

Somatics: Nervous system reset + collective grounding

Evening: The Sacred Pause

Stillness—not as aesthetic. But as medicine.

DAY 2: POWER & PRESENCE

Theme: Coherence in Action

You stop managing energy. And start commanding it.

Teaching: The Three Energetic States—Force, Flow, Resonance

Practice: Silent Leadership Drill (move the room without speaking)

Somatics: Map where power lives in your body. And where it leaks.

Dialogue: Where do you override your gut to keep control?

Integration: Power without performance. Presence without posturing.

DAY 3: THE JOURNEY (Where Legal)

Theme: Dissolution + Vision

You let go of who you think you are. Something deeper gets a chance to speak.

Prep: Safety, intention, surrender. (No performative rituals. Just readiness.)

Experience: Guided psychedelic journey

Teaching: Beyond the Mask—what altered states show us about our own leadership illusions

Integration: What surfaced? What softened? What stays?

DAY 4: INTEGRATION & EMBODIMENT

Theme: Walking It Out

No TED talk version of your breakthrough. Just how it moves through your body now.

Teaching: How to lead differently when things get real again

Practice: Spot your leadership “tells” under pressure

Dialogue: Who are you now, without the costume?

Somatics: Anchor what shifted—rituals that actually hold under stress

Evening: Sound or movement to seal the recalibration

DAY 5: REENTRY

Theme: Return With Roots

You don’t go back. You go forward—cleaner.

Teaching: The Unlead Reentry Map: How to not collapse into your old role

Practice: Legacy Mapping: What are you really building now?

Dialogue: Boundaries. Rituals. The non-negotiables that hold.

Closure: Final circle. Real commitments. Nothing performative.

You’ll still have meetings.

But the way you meet them?

That’s what’s changed.

Not a Getaway. A Turning Point.

You’re not paying to escape your life.

You’re investing in the part of you that’s ready to change it.

Have Questions?

Director of Culture & People

“I didn’t expect to walk away knowing myself more deeply. But that’s what happened. The intimacy. The insight. It was uncomfortable at times…but exactly what I needed.”

Nonprofit Executive

“It’s hard to explain. Something shifted. I came home not just more present, but more connected to something much bigger.”

Are you ready for this kind of work?

If something stirred, don’t overthink it. This isn’t strategy. It’s the kind of shift that doesn’t let you ignore it.
