Design your next chapter with courage and clarity
Not a retreat from life, a return to it.


Second Harvest creates the space for reflection, reconnection, and renewal — so you can live the second half of your life with more meaning, curiosity, and courage. Join a community of leaders, creatives, and seekers who are redefining what midlife can be.
Meticulousy designed retreats for high-achieving professionals ready to shape the second half of life with intention, clarity and with connection to others on the same path.
Hosted in exquisite locations like medieval Spanish cities and the Austrian Alps, our retreats create space for what matters. This isn't another conference. It's not therapy. These are thoughtfully curated experiences where where transformation happens not through brute force, but through presence, reflection, and the rare gift of unhurried time.

FAQs
No two retreats are the same but they all follow the arc of reflection, connection, and finding a pragmatic path forward that makes sense for you. Each day is designed to create just the right amount of creative tension between familiar structure and adventurous spontaneity.
Days start with a meditation and yoga session followed by a quiet coffee and gentle conversation.
Mid mornings are all about workshops exploring identity, purpose, or creative reinvention. This isn’t group therapy or drum circle stuff, this is practical and grounded work with a healthy dose of intuitive alignment.
Afternoons open into adventure. We can’t tell you too much about this because they are intentionally mysterious and awe-inspiring. These experiences are designed to reconnect you to your body and your senses (psst, you can see some clues if you watch our videos and browse our gallery of stunning photos).
Evenings are slow and social: long meals, fireside chats, music, and meaningful conversations that can sometimes wander late into the night.
There’s also time to be alone and time to belong. To listen and to be heard. To feel human again. It’s less a schedule, more a rhythm. A design for slowing down so you can finally catch up to yourself.
Second Harvest attracts people who have already “made it” by conventional standards and are asking, “Now what?” Executives, entrepreneurs, and investors. Artists, founders, and athletes. Leaders, makers, and seekers.
People with rich resumes and restless hearts. They’re united by curiosity, not category. By a desire to live the next chapter with more courage, creativity, and connection.
Many come solo, some come as couples. All leave as part of a lifelong circle of peers and friends. They arrive successful. They leave significant.
We’re not a traditional self-help retreat. You won’t find any gurus or shaman here. We’re not here to “fix” you. We’re here to help you remember who you already are. Second Harvest was built as a quiet rebellion against the noise against the endless productivity hacks, dopamine hits, and quick-fix enlightenment weekends.
Everything about the experience is rebelliously analog: long walks, handwritten notes, slow (and mouthwatering) meals, real conversations. No screens, no PowerPoints, no apps to guide your actions. Phones go away. Presence returns.
Each retreat is a curated adventure. We’re blending art, nature, philosophy, and design.
It’s equal parts creative residency, leadership lab, and spiritual sabbatical. Crafted for people who don’t need another program, but crave a place to pause, to breathe, and then to step back into their lives, fully awake.
You’ll leave with something rare: a sense of alignment between who you are and how you live. Aligning the intangible with the practical. Many participants describe a kind of exhale. A new relationship with time. A renewed sense of creativity. And, maybe most importantly, new friends that can support you on whatever path you choose to take.
You’ll return home with a close-knit community of people who speak your new language of courage and curiosity. A clarity that makes decision-making simple again. But don’t take our word for it, read the testimonials, look through the gallery, and see yourself right there.
