A Retreat With Ben Oosterveld
Build A Life You Love
You built the success. Now it's time to build the life around it.
This is four days, sixteen people, and the work most people never make time for.
Every application is reviewed personally. Approved applicants hear the date, location and pricing first.
Be Honest With Yourself
You've Built A Successful Life.
So Why Does Something Still Feel Missing?
At a certain point, success stops answering the questions that matter. These are the ones that keep showing up.
If one of those questions landed a little too close, you're in the right place.
Most retreats give you a schedule.
We Don't.

You trust the process. We take it from there.
The Framework
Four Parts To A Life You Love
Every part of the retreat is built around four areas. When one is out of balance, you feel it everywhere else.
Who You Are
Everything starts here. The quality of your life is shaped by the quality of your relationship with yourself.
What You Do
Your work should fit who you are. It should energize you and feed your soul, not quietly drain it.
Where You Live
Your environment shapes your energy every single day. It either fuels you or wears you down.
Who You're With
The people around you lift you up or hold you back. You deserve people who inspire, challenge and support you.
In Their Words
More Than A Retreat.
Here's What They Took Home.
These are real people from past retreats. Press play and hear it from them.
The Experience
The Work Beneath
The Adventure
The adventure creates the opening.
The conversations create the transformation.
Throughout the retreat, Ben guides you through exercises, reflection and facilitated conversations designed to help you take an honest look at your life.

The 1% Shift
A cruise ship changes its destination by hundreds of miles with one tiny adjustment in direction. A small shift in awareness can change the entire course of your future.
You won't leave with all the answers.
You'll leave seeing your life differently.

Meet Your Guide
Ben Oosterveld
For more than two decades, Ben has helped entrepreneurs, leaders, couples and families reconnect with who they truly are.
His own story started far from here. Ben grew up with instability and adversity. At 14, he was homeless. At 18, he checked himself into a 385 day rehabilitation program.
The greatest challenge wasn't what happened to him. It was the relationship he had with himself. Rebuilding that relationship became the work of his life.
Today, Ben has built successful businesses, led retreats across North America and coached thousands of people. His work isn't about fixing anyone. It's about helping people see themselves clearly.
"Most people don't need to become someone new. They need to uncover who they have been all along."

Questions
Before You Ask
When and where is the next retreat?
The 2027 date and location are being finalized now. Approved applicants hear first, before anything is announced publicly.
How fit do I need to be?
You should be comfortable on a moderately challenging 2.5 km hike. Nothing else on the retreat needs special fitness.
What happens after I apply?
Every application is reviewed personally before a spot is offered. If it's a fit, you'll hear from us with the date, location and pricing, plus first pick of the rooms.
Can I bring my partner or a friend?
Yes. The shared room option lets two people attend together and share one room. Each person should submit their own application.
Is this therapy?
No. It isn't therapy and it isn't motivational hype. It's guided reflection, honest conversation and adventure with a small group.
Who is this retreat for?
It's for entrepreneurs, leaders and parents who have built real success and know there's another level of purpose, freedom and impact waiting for them.
