Recovery isn’t about duration,

it’s about design.


Most high performers don’t need more rest.

They need better recovery.

If your nervous system is in overdrive, no amount of yoga, Netflix, or even Majorca will bring your energy and focus back online.

What will?

who is this micro-retreat for?

We run our own consulting business. Our clients range from enterprise companies, to senior leaders or founders themselves.

Which means...
We hustle.
We juggle.
We run multiple projects all at once, with a tiny team, and massive ambitions.

We needed to find a way to reset, that won't cost us 4 weeks and a trip to an exotic island.


We couldn't find a retreat to meet our unique needs, so we created one.

The Micro-Retreat is tailored specifically for those of us who need it most:

Senior Leaders stuck in fifth gear: founders, consultants, MDs, CEOs, business owners.


The ambitious few who need to be 'always on’ for everyone else, (but quietly crave a reliable off-switch for themselves.)

Where other retreats fall short

Too one-size-fits-all.
Most retreats offer generic sessions that don’t account for the actual demands of leadership.
You leave inspired, but not equipped.

Too disconnected from reality.

It’s easy to feel calm in a candle-lit yurt. What’s harder (and far more useful) is knowing how to reset your nervous system in a boardroom, on a train, or after three hours of broken sleep.


Too much escape, not enough return.

You drop out of life for a few days… then fall straight back into old patterns.
Nothing’s really changed, except your inbox is now full...

...so we designed something different:

Something real, responsive, and built to hold its impact beyond the day itself.

This isn’t about checking out.
It’s about changing how you come back in.

By the end of the day, you will:

  • Tap into your ability to shift from stress to focus in under 10 minutes.

  • Access deeper, more restorative sleep - on demand.

  • Prime your nervous system to show up clear, grounded and ready, no matter what’s on your plate.

"This has been a useful tonic during the storm... without it, I feel I wouldn't have been as well equipped to cope with the high levels of uncertainty, around my role, my tasks, my projects, my clients."
Nita Wood, Sustainability Strategist

the day: regulate & restore

🌅 MORNING: REGULATE

We begin with breath-work, movement, and nervous system tools – grounded in science and built for real-life leadership.

This is an experiential, real-time journey into what it feels like to shift your internal state – right there, in the moment.

Once you’ve felt the shift, you’ll know exactly how to recreate it for yourself, on-demand.

You'll learn:

  • How your nervous system works (and why it’s key to energy & performance).

  • Breath-patterns to shift from stress to clarity, on command

  • Techniques you can use before a big pitch, after a tough conversation, or when your brain won’t shut off.

Somatic movement:

Traditional exercise often focuses on external goals like strength or endurance.

In contrast, somatic movement emphasises internal awareness and the mind-body connection.

This practice can:

  • Alleviate chronic pain

  • Enhance flexibility

  • Reduce stress

  • Reduce injury

conscious breathing:

Conscious breathing techniques, such as coherent breathing, can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting the body from a state of stress to one of calm.

This practice lowers cortisol levels, reduces inflammation, and promotes deep relaxation, aiding in emotional regulation and mental clarity.

This practice can:

🌞 AFTERNOON : RESTORE

sensory walk:

A guided, nature-based immersion designed to prime your nervous system and bring you fully into presence – through touch, scent, sound, sight, and movement.

Sensory walks have been shown to:

  • Reduce cortisol levels

  • Decrease inflammation

  • Promote deep relaxation

  • Support emotional regulation

  • Improve mental clarity.

Nature immersion

Engaging with natural environments, such as forests, has been shown to reduce stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and improve mood.

Practices like forest bathing can:

  • Increase NK-Cells (that kill tumour-cells) by 50%, suggesting a positive impact on cancer-prevention.

  • Support better mood-regulation.

  • Improve quality of sleep

  • Decrease cortisol levels
