The Second Mountain Retreat

This is not a retreat about business strategy—it's about life strategy. A pause. A reset. A powerful beginning of the Second Mountain.

What is it?

The Second Mountain Retreat is a transformative experience for successful leaders, entrepreneurs and high achievers who have reached the top of their first mountain—career success, wealth, recognition—yet feel a quiet pull toward something deeper.

Set within the restorative landscape of Broughton Sanctuary, this retreat creates the space rarely found in everyday life: time to pause, breathe, and remember who you are beyond your roles and responsibilities.

Across five days of guided reflection, embodied practices, meaningful conversation and time in nature, attendees reconnect with their true selves, rediscover their passions, and begin to answer the question: What is my life really for now?

This is not about stepping away from success—it’s about redefining it. The retreat helps each participant envision and prepare for their Second Mountain: a life built on purpose, contribution, vitality and legacy.

What Attendees Will Get By the End of the Retreat

By the end of this retreat, attendees will leave with:

Clarity and Purpose

A renewed sense of direction, a clear vision of their “Second Mountain,” and a deep understanding of the impact they now want to create.

Reconnection with Self

A powerful reconnection to passions, values, identity, and parts of themselves often lost in the pursuit of success.

Personal Blueprint for the Future

A defined and practical action plan—habits, rituals, support structures, and first steps—to begin the ascent of their next mountain with confidence and energy.

Emotional and Physical Renewal

Restored energy, inner calm, and mental clarity through mindful practices such as Qi Gong, meditation, nature immersion, and deep reflection.

Tools for Sustainable Success

Daily practices for resilience, wellbeing, self-renewal, and legacy-driven leadership that can be sustained after the retreat.

Connection and Community

Meaningful relationships with other leaders who are also asking, “What’s next?”—a tribe of peers committed to purpose, contribution, and growth.

Stuart is the most inspiring human, his is effortless in his delivery, very organised and meticulous. I found the reconnect to success the most valuable time I've spent on myself in years and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a reset or some valuable time to spend on themselves and their future goals.

Having three days away from all my responsibilities to just look after myself and come away having learnt new habits, challenged my beliefs, understood my values and seeing for the first my purpose in life - it’s been magnificent and spookily magical. I’m still me but the best version of me I’ve ever been.

This experience not only gave me huge insight into both my business and personal development needs and goals. I’ve come away from the retreat with both a plan and an amazing group of people all committed to supporting each other on the rest of this journey.

Being with a like minded group of business leaders is always more rewarding than trying to self develop through books alone. When challenged to go to some uncomfortable areas for self development the (like minded) group is there with similar stories and advice of how / why / what they have done. I have done many business courses, workshops, and networking but found this to be the most valuable so far, as its focussed on the primary force required for success You, and I would sign up again tomorrow.
