BEYOND THE SUMMIT 2026

A four-day reckoning to face what you’ve carried and decide what still belongs.

A bold exploration of self leadership, emotional legacy, and the uncharted territory that lies ahead

THIS IS NOT A  RETREAT. IT'S A RECKONING

​We push past the meditation talk and the soft healing language and get real with what’s eating away at you. This work has weight because we bring it into the body through physical outlets that cut past theory and into visceral experiences.

 

It is demanding, uncomfortable, and at times confrontational, because avoiding those edges is what has kept you stuck. We strip the work of performance and platitudes so you can finally face yourself without pretense.

 

And we don’t leave the how as an afterthought. We dedicate time to action planning so what you uncover here moves with you into your everyday life, carried in how you lead, how you love, and how you choose to live.

What if success isn’t the summit, but the beginning of something more profound?

​

Beyond the Summit 2025 is a four-day, immersive exploration for those who are ready to redefine what success means, reclaim what they’ve lost, and forge a path toward a new definition of success.

​

True legacy isn’t written in titles or measured by assets. It lives in the depth of your connection to yourself and those around you. During this experience, you’ll confront the parts of yourself you left behind in the pursuit of achievement. This is not a typical leadership retreat; it’s an invitation to reshape how you live, lead, and love.

​

In the wilderness, we align with the natural rhythms of life. You’ll cut firewood, build fires, plunge into icy waters, embrace silence, and disconnect from the digital noise. Thought provoking conversations unfold over shared, nourishing meals, while solitude creates the space to reflect, integrate, and align. These practices aren’t about fixing what’s broken—they’re about returning to what’s true.

​

What You’ll Leave With

​

  • A redefined vision of success that aligns with what truly matters.

  • Reconnection to the forgotten parts of yourself - your passions, desires, and truths.

  • Strengthened self-leadership built on clarity, courage, and congruency.

  • Deeper connections with those who matter most.

  • The ability to transform old patterns into lasting possibilities.

​

This work is raw and intimate, and it’s not for everyone. Beyond the Summit is designed for a curated group of leaders, each handpicked to ensure the integrity and depth of the experience. Participation begins with a one-on-one conversation to explore readiness and alignment.

ARE YOU A GOOD FIT?

​

✔ You carry a past you don’t talk about, and it’s bleeding into everything
✔ You know your history is choking the future you say you want
✔ You’ve built the life, but you’re numb to the good shit now
✔ You want something you can feel in your damn bones
✔ You’re hungry for something that rips you open, no more polished fixes

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

​

Beyond the Summit is an intimate, immersive experience combining raw conversations, physical outlets, and a curated journey of personal reclamation. This is about changing patterns, about remembering what you knew before systems reshaped you.

​

✔ Private setting away from distractions
✔ Small, exclusive group of hand-selected attendees (6 - 8 men only)
✔ Guided explorations, movement, and rituals to break past conditioning
✔ Time for solitude, integration, and deep conversations
✔ A shift in perspective that changes everything

​

Each day begins with a group breakfast and discussion, followed by one on one sessions and outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, carving, etc. ending each day with a delicious local dinner accompanied by a group discussion. And finally an optional fire gathering with music, storytelling and stargazing.​​

We begin by mapping your inner landscape, acknowledging all parts of yourself - even those long forgotten or pushed aside. Like building a home, we start with what lies beneath the surface, what desires have been forgotten. Through careful exploration and focused conversation, we build trust with every aspect of who you are. This foundational work reveals patterns, honors old protective strategies, and creates solid ground for what comes next.

FORGE

Here we reignite what drives you - your desires, passions, and deeper truths that may have been dampened by years of professional success. Like tending a flame, we carefully feed these rediscovered aspects of yourself, letting them grow from sparks to sustainable heat. Through embodied practices and intentional exploration, dormant embers transform into clear direction and purpose. This phase often brings both challenge and exhilaration as you reclaim your full vitality.

A tree with long and far extending roots.

LEGACY

This is where transformation takes root. Moving from insight to action, we integrate these rediscovered parts of yourself into daily life. Like a river finding its path, we establish new ways of being that honor both who you've been and who you're becoming. This integration changes how you show up in your relationships, work, and world - not through force, but through your true alignment. Here, your legacy begins to express itself naturally in every choice you make.

An experience for your emotional, mental and physical congruence

your commitment

This work demands more than just attendance—it requires your full presence, effort, and willingness to embrace vulnerability. Over three days, you will disconnect entirely from work, home, and the distractions of daily life. No emails. No phones. No external obligations.

In this intimate, curated group, you’ll step into a space where honesty, curiosity, and hard work are the foundation. The practices and conversations are designed to push past comfort zones, inviting you to explore deeper truths about yourself and your leadership.

This isn’t for everyone. It’s for those ready to fully show up and commit to the challenge of redefining success and legacy.

May we honour their elderhood, their story, and their hearts. May we continue to nourish this land, continue to hear the stories and honour what was lost...
