13th - 17th April 2026
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.
