Retreats like no other
These experiences are built around real change. I have been on 20+ retreats and helped facilitate five around the world. Every itinerary pulls from what actually works: grounding in nature, nervous system reset, and clear next steps for your life or business.
You are not here to escape your life. You are here to upgrade it. Think sunrise walks, cold dips, deep work sessions, and late night laughs with people who get it.
Time outdoors that resets your nervous system, from sunrise hikes to cold rivers.
A like-minded community and circles where you do not have to perform.
Practical tools and clear next steps that outlast the trip.

Disconnect to reconnect
Most of us are “on” all the time. Slack, news, notifications, a hundred tiny pulls. Our retreats give you permission to step out for a few days. Phone use is minimal and intentional.
We mix movement, cold immersion, breathwork, and simple mindset tools. Nothing fluffy. Just practical ways to feel calmer, clearer, and more at home in yourself.
“Retreats are not escapes. They are labs for the next version of you.”
Jon Miksis, founder

Featured retreat
Imagine waking up to jagged limestone peaks glowing pink at sunrise. We hike to high mountain huts, wander through meadows, and sit by turquoise lakes, with guided sessions on clarity, mindset, and the next chapter of your life.

Laura P.“I was struggling hard with my business when I was introduced to Jon. He helped me figure out my limiting beliefs and blind spots that helped me alchemize my deeper purpose.”
“I admire Jon's approach to life and freedom. He's inspired me for years on his Insta but meeting him in person was something else. He's the real deal.”
Craig B.“I was in a dark place in life: divorce, failing businesses, and emotional turmoil. His presence and tips were crucial to my inner journey. His life advice has changed my life.”
