Retreat, Rise Up
Khind Collective has organised & facilitated 5 retreats in partnership with And Rising & Cabilla Cornwall since September 2023. We have 4 planned for 2025.
Hosted in a temperate rainforest, far from the day-to-day, we’ve brought together 5 diverse cohorts of startup founders & business leaders creating the brands of the future looking for rest & inspiration. For 3 days, we took 20 founders of businesses out into nature to ground, slow down, look ahead. Part business school, part wellness retreat, we purposely blurred lines. When running a startup, or scaling your business whilst juggling social and family life, it’s very rare to get time to put yourself and both your physical and mental health first. To pause and work out what you want and need, personally and professionally. For 3 beautiful days, we did just that. Business coaching, networking with like-minded entrepreneurial humans, yoga, breathwork, meditation, forest bathing, sauna, cold water, manifestation, hiking, nourishing food, sound, sleep.
It was an experiment.
To see if time out of the day-to-day firefighting could make space for creativity, clarity of purpose, better future planning. To see if time spent amongst the trees could bring high achieving, high functioning people out of ‘fight or flight’ mode and into ‘rest & digest’, then stay there more when they got home. Whether a safe space such as the container co-created on retreat could enable individuals to open up, be vulnerable, connect over shared experiences, pool resources, build community.
It was a big ask - getting busy, fairly exhausted founders out of London, away from their desks, off their mobile phones, into a group of strangers to interrogate themselves and their businesses. Sharing their challenges in group coaching, meditating on their needs and desires, stretching both their bodies and minds in yoga - it’s vulnerable, exposing work. With no proof of concept, the trust they put in us and the programme was huge. But the experiment paid off - for us and them. The pilot was better than our wildest dreams. A total joy to watch unfold, a pleasure to facilitate.
The start of a long-term platform.
Is a retreat right for my business?
Whether you’re a law firm, food & drinks brand, ad agency, or VC, a retreat may be exactly what you and your team need. Time to step outside of the city and into nature to rest, re-group, recharge for the months ahead, returning to work with a skip in your step.
If you’re a members club or brand running a community, a retreat is the perfect way to connect more deeply with your network - no cheap drinks or small talk flow on retreat.
