The Highway 1 Series of Retreats
A Collection of Retreats Designed To Help You
REFLECT. RESTORE. RESET.
A PLACE FOR PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS
The best conversations I’ve ever been part of didn’t happen in boardrooms. They happened around tables, on long walks, in quiet rooms where people finally had the space to hear themselves think.
That’s what I build. Curated collaborations and intimate retreats for individuals and leadership teams who are carrying more than they’re saying and who need a place to set it down, look at it honestly, and decide what comes next.
I’ve spent thirty years creating spaces where people feel genuinely valued. First in hospitality, then on stages, and now in the places I believe matter most: small gatherings where the right people, the right questions, and the right environment come together to create something that can’t happen in an office or on a call.
Every retreat I host is built around three intentions:
Reflect – to create the stillness that lets clarity surface. Restore – to reconnect with the things that get buried under urgency and obligation.
Reset – to return to your life and your work with a renewed sense of purpose, direction, and care.
This is not your textbook professional development, this is not the stale hotel room team building event. This is an invitation to step out of the frame, long enough to remember what matters, understand what is needed — and then step back into the frame, changed by the pause.

Upcoming Retreats



BROTHERHOOD TO ELDERHOOD RETREAT
BECOMING THE MAN THE WORLD NEEDS
Imagine you’ve found an amazing small group of men like yourself: leading in their field, trying to be their best for their people, making their world better, committed to lifelong growth, maybe a little unseen on a soul level, and definitely tired on all the levels.
You’ve found a Michelin star restaurant hidden inside a private 80-acre nature preserve that you’ve never heard of and it’s about to ruin every other hospitality experience you’ve had.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
- Two immersive retreats
- Monthly cohort sessions
- Practical tools, frameworks, and guided experiences
Expect meaningful conversation, time in nature, exceptional food, and the clarity that comes from stepping away to truly reflect.
