Running a business can be deeply rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming. This retreat is your invitation to pause, breathe, and step away from the constant demands of daily life. For one week, you’ll be immersed in the lush beauty of Costa Rica, where you’ll reconnect with your purpose, your vision, and yourself.
Join a community of visionary business owners for an immersive 7-night, 8-day retreat designed to restore your energy, strengthen your leadership, and align your business with your deepest values.
Created and led by Arilda Surridge, MA, LMFT, alongside a team of accomplished facilitators, this retreat blends business strategy, conscious leadership, and holistic wellbeing. You’ll explore how to lead with clarity and authenticity while creating sustainable profitability and purpose-driven growth.
What sets this retreat apart is who’s leading it. Every facilitator is both a therapist and entrepreneur — uniquely equipped to bridge the inner and outer worlds of leadership.
Unlike traditional business retreats that focus only on scaling and strategy, this experience integrates the psychology of success, the art of conscious leadership, and the science of wellbeing.
Therapists understand how mindset shapes decisions, how relationships drive culture, and how self-awareness sustains performance. Here, you’ll gain not just business tools — but also emotional clarity, resilience, and alignment to help you grow without losing yourself in the process. This retreat is ideal for business owners, executives, creatives, and entrepreneurs.
Each day weaves together expert-led workshops, restorative experiences, and ample space for rest, creativity, and connection.
