Retreat•by•Design
Our philosophy
We created Retreat by Design because we believe that true connection and personal growth happen when we intentionally step away from the everyday noise. Our retreats offer more than just a break—they’re designed to recharge your mind, body, and soul, creating a space where real transformation can unfold.
Each retreat is thoughtfully tailored to meet you where you are, whether you want to strengthen bonds with family, connect with friends, or take time for yourself. It’s about designing a space where you can pause, reflect, and grow.
This isn’t just about escaping the daily routine—it’s about recharging with intention, building deeper relationships, and finding clarity in the moments that matter most.
What makes
us different
We believe that magic happens when we carefully blend thoughtful planning with organic experiences—no two retreats are the same. We don’t follow a rigid formula but adapt each retreat to the unique group and setting.
Our retreats emphasize authentic moments—whether through meaningful conversations, hands-on activities, or quiet reflection. We create an environment where you can be yourself, explore new perspectives, and return to your everyday life feeling refreshed and recharged.
Who are
these retreats for?
Our retreats are for those who want more than just time away—they’re for individuals who seek to live with intention and understand that growth and connection come from stepping into new experiences. It’s not about running from your daily life but diving deeper into it with clarity, purpose, and renewed energy.
Our Promise
This is our promise.
To create a retreat experience that honors your journey and support your growth every step of the way.

David
Living proof that not all wanderers are aimless, David is about half-way through a lifelong journey to cut through the brainwashing and discover the truths underlying masculinity and the place and role of men in the world.

Tony
Tony is a business coach who learned to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. He believes that the biggest misconception on earth is that people cannot change. He’s picked up storytelling as an old/new passion and loving every minute. In his book, to get around, the sensation of motorbiking wins over driving. Any day.
