The work
Think clearly again
Hours of deep, guided work on the one or two things that actually move your business, in a room of peers who ask the questions your team cannot. You leave with a plan you believe in, not another list.
Tomorrow’s Potential Retreats · By application
Step out of the business. Come back different.
Two days with a small room of people who run real businesses, somewhere beautiful and off the grid. Deep work on your business in the morning. Train, sweat and plunge in the afternoon. Long dinners and real conversation at night. You leave clearer on where you are taking the company, and, as everyone says when they get home, a different person with the people who matter.
No date on sale. The waiting list hears first and gets first pick of a small number of seats.
Two daysfully out of the business
A room of eightowners and leaders at your level
Work, body, mindin balance, on purpose
What they say when they get home
“I’ve come home and genuinely feel a different person.”

What it is actually like
The best two days you’ll give yourself all year.
Not a conference. Not a jolly. Two days built around the three things that quietly decide how far you go: the clarity of your thinking, the state of your body, and the people you do it with.
The body
Switch yourself back on
Morning movement, field sessions, sauna and cold plunge. The training, recovery and sleep you quietly dropped while you scaled, handed back to you over two days with people pushing alongside you.
The room
Find your people
Eight people carrying what you carry. No masks, no pitching, no performing. The honesty lands in the first hour, and the group is the thing most people say they did not expect to keep.

Two days at the water’s edge
The shape of a day
A rhythm, not a timetable.
Every retreat is built around the room in it, so no two run quite the same. The shape, though, holds: move the body, work the business, recover properly, eat and talk late.
First light
Move before the world wakes up
Yoga over the water, a walk, or a harder session if you want one. You start the day in your body before you touch your phone.
Morning
The clearest thinking you’ve done in a while
Facilitated, hands on your own business. The constraint you keep avoiding, in a room that will not let you dodge it, with founders who have been exactly where you are.
Afternoon
Test yourself, together
Out into the field. Train hard, carry something heavy, finish something you were not sure you could. The afternoon that reminds you what you are capable of.
Evening
Sweat it out, plunge, recover
Sauna, cold plunge and proper recovery as the light goes. The reset most founders have not given themselves in years.
Night
Long dinners and real conversation
Eat well, around a fire, with people you have known two days and will know for years. The talk that only happens when nobody is selling anything.
The place
Somewhere worth travelling for.
The venue is never an afterthought. We have run the retreat at The Shire and at Bingham Riverhouse: estates with lakes, big skies and the kind of quiet you cannot get at home. Far enough out that the business genuinely cannot reach you.
The next date and venue are announced to the waiting list first.
In their words
You can read the plan later. Read this first.
“I’ve just picked up my phone after giving my wife and mother in law my undivided attention for 2 hours. I made bed time, which was an absolute delight. Feel honoured and extremely fortunate to have been part of this group. I’ve taken so much from this.”
Managing Director, Halfpenny
“Thank you for one of the best experiences of my life. You raised the bar once again, as always.”
Founder & CEO, Orbit Utilities
“Unbelievable group, and come home feeling energised and refreshed. You are creating something special.”
Fuel Ventures
“Just got home, made sure to do my present time. It was effective. What a privilege to get to spend that time with you all.”
Retreat attendee
Who it is for
Built for the one carrying it.
For the person the business rests on: entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, CEOs and MDs. It is for you, not the whole team. A small room, matched so you are among peers, not an audience.
You are scaling something real, and most of the weight sits on you.
You have quietly stopped looking after yourself while you look after everything else.
You want a room of founders who get it, not a network of contacts.
You are ready to work on the business, and on yourself, for two uninterrupted days.
The waiting list
The next one hasn’t dropped yet.
When it does, the waiting list hears first and gets first pick of a small number of seats. No payment now. Just your name on the list and an email the moment the date and venue are set.
Prefer to talk first? Book a call with Alex.
You’re on the list
You’ll be the first to hear when the next retreat drops, with first pick of the seats. Keep an eye on your inbox.
Questions
The honest answers.
Not one we are selling. When the next date and venue are set, the waiting list hears before anyone else and gets first pick of a small number of seats. That is the whole point of the list.
The investment is shared when the retreat is published. It is by application and we keep the room deliberately small, so places are limited.
Entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, CEOs and MDs scaling real businesses. A room of eight, matched so you are among peers at a similar stage. People carrying what you carry.
Both, on purpose. Deep, facilitated work on your business, and the training, recovery and sleep most founders have quietly dropped. The two reinforce each other, which is the point.
Somewhere beautiful and off the grid. Past retreats have run at The Shire and at Bingham Riverhouse. The next venue is revealed to the waiting list.
The retreat is for the person running the business. If you want the same work with your whole leadership team, that is The Pitstop, a day built for the team in the room together.
