Retreats for Founders
“Our entire universe is contained in the mind and the spirit. We may choose not to find access to it, we may even deny its existence, but it is indeed there inside us...”
— Dr. Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin
What is included in our Personal Retreats

Two 45 minutes Zoom integration calls
We will support you in the weeks after your meditation retreat to integrate your experience and insights, coaching you to maximize the benefit and minimize the shock of going back to your daily life. Integration work is not a “nice-to-have” or optional, but a fundamental complement to the retreat. Please check our our Integration Protocol.

COVID precautions
We ask you to share negative test results from 72 hours before the retreat and that you have self isolated since the day of the test. If you cannot test, we ask you to confirm that you have not travelled and been in self-isolation for the past 10-12 days without exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19.
Ideal candidates
Our ideal candidates are healthy founders who want to address leadership development, ideation, creativity, innovation, and general startup/business issues. We don’t have the necessary training to address mental health and psychological issues such as deep trauma or alcohol/drug addiction. If you need this kind of work, we may refer you to someone else. Similarly, if you have a chronic disease or major health issues, we won’t be able to work with you.
We are driven by integrity, confidentiality and respect.

Fees & Donations
The retreat sliding-scale price is based on the principle that your financial commitment should be proportionate to your financial resources.
Please note that we accept donations on a sliding scale from $1,000 to $9,000.
How much you donate for your retreat can be an act of justice. If you can afford to donate on the higher end of the scale, your donation helps to support those who cannot. This is one way to leverage our privilege and stand for equality for everyone. If you cannot donate the higher-end suggested, consider what is authentically sustainable for you, and donate that.
