10 Life-Changing Days
OAXACA, MEXICO • AUGUST 2026
Interrupt the old patterns. Clarify your path forward.
If you're facing burnout, confusion or dissatisfaction with your life path, career, or home environment, you're in good company. Tens of millions of people in the U.S. alone report dissatisfaction in their job / career.
We've been there too—and we took risks that changed our lives forever. We've found and successfully created lifestyles, businesses and career paths that truly align with our unique ways of being.
In many ways, we did it the hard way—without community support, without a roadmap, without a clear intention. Now, we bring all of our lived experience into an intentionally-designed journey to support your intelligent life redesign.
Most shifts don't root because the underlying patterns never change.
At our CycleBreak Retreats, you’ll identify the core patterns shaping your work, decisions, and relationships — and clearly understand exactly how they’ve been limiting your growth. You won’t leave with vague inspiration. You’ll leave with specific awareness.
Burnout doesn't produce clarity.
Through our immersive retreat, quality time in nature, healing practices, signature HeartStorm sessions and guided self-reflection, we help you release the daily stress loops and reconnect to your grounded internal baseline. Decisions made from regulation are wiser than decisions made from an empty cup.
The map is not the territory.
By the end of the CycleBreak Retreat, you’ll have a structured view of your real options — whether that means staying and redesigning, pivoting gradually, taking a sabbatical, or preparing for a larger shift. Ambiguity becomes organized possibility.
Responsible change requires honest reflection.
You’ll begin evaluating your financial runway, risk tolerance, and stability factors so any future moves are informed — not impulsive. Intelligent design + preparation + courageous action = successful transformation.
You'll gain a community.
Meaningful transition in community is enormously more successful and manageable. Each retreat group forms a community pod founded on a common goal and mutual understanding. This group continues supporting your process beyond the retreat in our year-long CoLiberate Community network, available only to retreat attendees.
The CycleBreak Retreat is not designed to entirely flip your life upside-down in a week. We don’t pressure you into dramatic decisions or promise unrealistic instant transformations.
While we support deeply impactful emotional work, this week-long experience is not for endless emotional offgassing. One week cannot substitute for 1:1 therapy or long-term mental health support.
We offer incredible opportunities to find deep internal clarity in a resourceful healing environment, building a well-supported foundation for your next steps forward. This is the grounded, supportive beginning of your transformational journey ahead.
