Big Sur cliffs, Sierra granite, and the cleanest air on the continent.

why we go

Why California.

California is our 'no excuse, no jetlag' option for North American teams. We run two formats: a Big Sur coastal retreat (3-5 days, fly into Monterey) or a Sierra alpine retreat near Mammoth Lakes for teams that want true high country.

the magic

Five things you'll never forget.

A loose field guide to what we weave into a California retreat. Every week is different — the team you bring shapes the week we design.

  1. 01

    Big Sur coastal walk

    A guided morning walk along the cliffs from Pfeiffer Beach. We pair it with a single-question reflection that surfaces what the team is actually here to talk about.

  2. 02

    Esalen hot springs (when available)

    When schedules align, we book a private session at the cliffside hot springs. Optional. Bring an open mind.

  3. 03

    Redwood council

    A team council circle held inside an old-growth redwood grove. The trees are 1,500+ years old. People speak more carefully.

  4. 04

    Mammoth alpine lakes day

    For Sierra trips: a full day at altitude — high lakes, granite peaks, optional cold plunge. Returns people to their bodies.

  5. 05

    Ranch farm-to-table dinner

    Final-night dinner at a working ranch in Carmel Valley. Long table, local wine, no slides.

Could California be the room for your team?

Tell us a little about your team — size, what's been hard this year, what you'd like to be true on the flight home — and we'll come back with a custom-shaped week.
