Business problems are human problems. And if you want to be effective in solving them, it starts by working on yourself. The CLQ retreat and the integration journey that follows challenge and equip you to do the vital inner work that transforms the way you lead.
We believe that it is only at the intersection of mind, body and business that true transformation can occur and that leaders can actually become the leaders they’re meant to be.
When leaders take an ‘inside out’ approach and focus on personal growth, it works.

Successful leadership development doubles the success rate of organizational transformations
- I feel like I don't have to overextend myself to prove my worth and capacities. I feel supported for the first time in over nine years. I feel a sense of worthiness and deeper confidence... like I have grown up in some sort of way."

Four Principles, One Holistic Approach
Connection
Experience connection and cultivate this crucial ingredient in your workplace.
Ritual
Turn intentional practice into a landmark of transformation, where meaningful repetition revitalizes how you lead.
Adventure
Embrace risk-taking as a key component of effective leadership.
Wisdom
Harness personal and collective wisdom for impactful decision-making.
Applying these key principles to the way you show up in mind, body, and business will change the way you see yourself, your people, and your place in the world.
Mind
Connection: Mental connection deepens as you detach from digital distraction and tune into your surroundings, opening space for new thoughts and perspectives.
Ritual: Meditation, journaling, and contemplative practices create mental rituals that clear cognitive space and enhance focus.
Adventure: Cognitive adventures occur as leaders embrace unfamiliar ideas and perspectives that challenge their mental models.
Wisdom: Mental clarity emerges as leaders integrate diverse perspectives into coherent understanding and insight.
Body
Connection: Connection begins with embodied physical presence – feeling Costa Rican sand beneath our feet, the ocean breeze on our skin, and the jungle sounds in our ears. This sensory immersion grounds leaders in the present moment.
Ritual: Through exposure to a range of practices — movement, breathwork, time in nature, stillness — you discover the rituals that bring you back into your body and into full presence.
Adventure: Physical challenges like surfing and hiking push bodily limits, creating new neurological pathways and embodied confidence.
Wisdom: Leaders develop somatic wisdom—the ability to listen to and trust their body’s signals and intuitions.
Business
Connection: Leaders learn to connect authentically with team members, stakeholders, and the broader ecosystem of their business, recognizing interdependence.
Ritual: Leaders develop intentional business rituals that can transform company culture, from meeting structures to decision-making processes.
Adventure: Leaders learn to approach business challenges as adventures—opportunities for growth rather than problems to solve.
Wisdom: Leaders access a deeper business intuition that transcends conventional metrics, enabling more holistic and sustainable decisions.
A Two-Part Adventure
Your path to being a better leader starts with a 6-day experience in Costa Rica. 14 leaders are invited to immerse in an inspiring environment and begin the deep work of self-awareness and healing that awakens your true potential.
A 9-month integration journey follows the retreat. You and your retreat cohort learn to integrate what you’ve experienced so true transformation happens. Together, you’ll deepen your connections, find accountability and support, and have personalized coaching to further your growth.
