What alumni are saying.

"You couldn’t ask for a better guide to reinvention than Richard. He’s brilliant, curious, empathetic, and a great friend. He constantly challenges himself and those around him to do better, to be better, and anyone lucky enough to attend this retreat will leave renewed."
— Martin
"I just wanted to say thank you — these last few days at Second Harvest were some of the most meaningful I’ve had in a long time. I came in feeling raw and unsure, hoping to find what’s next, and I’m leaving with not just tools, but a community of people I can lean on as I work through a lot of transition, hurt, and healing."
— Nehal Patel
"I can not express how grateful I am for that weekend. Wow I am totally blown away. I really was soooo stuck and it’s helped me see a bit of a way out. It was incredible - you really were not kidding when you said it was going to be magic. Thank you thank you!!"
— Colleen Zulich
"Thank you so much for having me on this trip. It was such an honor to be part of this journey with you. Would love to connect when you’re back and continue this journey together!"
— Mary Grace Levin
This gave me clarity I did not realize I was missing. From the very first day, it surfaced beliefs I had been carrying for years without questioning them or even being aware of them. Seeing those stories clearly helped me understand how much of my urgency, fear, and pressure were rooted in old narratives about identity, safety, and aging.
— Kristen Shaheen
It was a punctuation in time that was much needed; reminding me to be intentional. I appreciated the experimental mindset vs. goal-driven one - which is usually what happens at the onset of any calendar year with resolutions where you are thinking in absolutes. I found this to be much more forgiving, softer, approachable, and framing it in this way felt like way less of a daunting, scrutinizing task and more like a nudge in the self-love direction.
— Lauren Sozio
By working through the combination of "ID" narratives and "OS" narratives and living in the questions, I've achieved an interesting new state of acceptance and curiosity. Instead of trying to optimize my way into a better self, I can instead pursue a felt-state (beginner's mind) to build around:.. openness, curiosity, presence, expression, humility, freedom from expectation, connection, etc. My freedom of movement seems to have increased. And, coincidentally or not, new doors appear to be opening. Super grateful, thank you!
— Brandon Comstock
The biggest realization for me was stepping back and recognizing how long I’ve been stuck in this uncomfortable space, fully identifying with the unhelpful narrative. I’ve been perpetuating this heavy cloud of despair and ruin—completely at odds with the optimistic, adventurous, "can-do-anything" dreamer version of myself. I’m hyper-aware of this now. And know people around me are noticing.
— Chris Merrill
I did day one [of the 72-Hour Reset} yesterday and was truly saddened by the stories that surfaced and how they’ve shaped me. Excited to reframe a few things in my life so I can move forward.
— JP Tanner
I really love how you two consciously create space for people to be vulnerable. It is quite beautiful and so appreciated - especially in a world that sometimes feels lonely, uncertain and polarized.
— Christine Holland
I really appreciate the continued engagement you’ve been offering after the 72-Hour Reset. The biweekly conversations and the effort you’re putting into keeping the community connected say a lot about what you’re building. All of this is landing at a meaningful transitional moment for me, so I’m grateful for the timing.
— Erik Bettencourt
“The retreat gave me emotional clarity I didn’t know I needed. I came looking for quiet and reflection, but what I found was connection. I left with friendships and a renewed sense of courage for what comes next.”
— Suzanne Balassone
“There is something rare about being truly seen, and that’s what happened at Second Harvest. It wasn’t about performance, but presence. I left with more than memories — I left with allies.”
— Jennifer Linehan
“The biggest surprise was how much laughter and lightness accompanied the depth. I came expecting something serious and got that, but also joy, play, and the power of pausing. It was exactly what I didn’t know I needed.”
— Brad Stanton
“The retreat was a reminder that slowing down is not the same as stepping back. It’s actually moving forward with more intention. I found space to breathe, and in that space, new ideas emerged.”
— Natalie Fernandez
“We often spend our lives talking, but rarely do we spend them listening. In Austria, I was reminded that silence can be the most generous gift. Second Harvest taught me how to be present again.”
— Wouter Oudemans
“I thought I was coming for inspiration. What I received was transformation. A rare gift, not because it was flashy, but because it was simple, human, and true.”
— Nino Maisuradze
“What struck us was the intimacy of it all. Fireside chats, shared meals, quiet walks in the forest — these were not just activities, they were containers for courage and creativity to emerge. It reminded us why human proximity is the real luxury.”
— Bernhard & Kathrin

FAQs

What is The Correspondents Club?

The Correspondents Club is Second Harvest's membership for people who want to stay in conversation with us between retreats. 10 times a year, (including our quarterly newspaper) something arrives in your mailbox — art, letters, and provocations from the field. It's not a subscription box. It's a personalized correspondence from us to you. A physical artifact in a brand committed, rebelliously, to the analog.

For Patrons, what arrives, and how often?

Patron Members receive our quarterly newspaper (four print editions per year), and additional physical pieces — an annual hardcover book, art prints, and gifts from our community. Patron Members also receive a monthly Member's Call.

What's the difference between the three tiers?

Standard ($135/year) is digital-only — the quarterly newspaper delivered digitally, and that's it. Founding Member ($335/year) adds the quarterly physical newspaper, the editor's letter, a 10% retreat discount, and priority booking. Patron ($535/year) adds an annual hardcover coffee table book, original art prints, a 20% retreat discount, mystery gifts, and access to the monthly Member's Call.

Where do you ship?

At launch, we mail within the United States only. We're a deliberately small operation, and getting the domestic experience right comes first. International members are welcome at the Standard (digital) tier, and we'll expand physical shipping when we can do it well.

How is billing handled?

All memberships are billed annually. We chose annual over monthly on purpose — it reduces administrative noise on both sides and signals that this is a commitment to something, not a disposable subscription. Your card is charged once a year on your renewal date.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel from your member portal at any time, and you'll continue to receive everything through the end of your paid year. No phone calls, no retention scripts, no friction.

How do I update my address or payment method?

Visit our Manage My Membership page and enter your email. We'll send you a one-time code — no password to remember. From there you can update your shipping address, change your payment method, switch tiers, or download invoices. If you're moving, please update your address at least three weeks before the next quarterly mailing.

When does the next edition ship?

Newspapers mail four times a year, roughly aligned with the seasons. We'll email you two weeks before each edition ships and again the day it goes in the mail, so you'll know when to watch your mailbox. The newspaper launches this Spring, so expect something in the mail around May 2026.

Can I give a membership as a gift?

Not yet. We’re working on that as an option. We’ll announce that if and when that makes sense.

Can I switch tiers later?

Yes. You can move between Standard, Founding Member, and Patron at any time from the member portal. Stripe handles the proration automatically — you'll only pay (or be credited) the difference.

What happens at renewal?

Thirty days before your annual renewal, we'll send you a reminder. Memberships auto-renew unless you cancel. If your card has expired, we'll email you to update it before the renewal date.

I'm a retreat alum. Is there anything different for me?

Yes. Alumni get first access to the Founding Member tier and a small thank-you in your first package. If you've sat across from us in a retreat or summit you’ll be getting an alumni code that entitles you to a signup discount.

Why a physical newspaper in 2026?

Because something arriving in your mailbox is different from something arriving in your inbox. It shows our commitment to our community, and it’s fun. It asks for a slower kind of attention. We believe the people doing the work of a second harvest deserve correspondence that respects the work, not another tab to close.

I have a question that isn't here.
