About this live event
September 24 -29, 2026
Barcelona, Spain
Five days of deep business strategy, daily pilates and the kind of focused thinking time most of us never give ourselves.
This is not a generic retreat. Every session is designed around one thing: helping you leave with a clear direction and the embodied capacity to actually execute it when you get home.

Location: The beautiful Catalan town Sant Cugat is just 30 minutes from the vibrant city center of Barcelona. Close enough to feel the energy of the city, far enough to finally slow down. September in Catalunya is golden, warm days, cooler evenings and the kind of light that makes everything feel possible.
