• Burnout Was the Catalyst. This Is the Return.

    Transcend: A Breakthrough Retreat for the Returning Self

    The threshold between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.

    Step out of survival mode and into an ocean-and-jungle sanctuary designed to help you release who burnout made you — and return to the self that’s been waiting underneath.

  • WHAT IS TRANSCEND

    A breakthrough retreat for the identity you’re ready to return to.

    A Threshold, Not a Vacation


    A liminal space between who burnout forced you to become and who you’re meant to be on the other side of it.

    Set on the edge of ocean and jungle in Puerto Vallarta, Transcend uses environment as medicine to shift you out of survival mode and into deeper coherence.

    Here, the environment doesn't decorate your healing — it accelerates it.

    This is where you finally have the space to be honest.


    To let the emotional weight you’ve been carrying loosen.

    Releasing What Burnout Built

    To release the patterns that helped you cope, but no longer help you live.

    Transcend is where you learn to rebuild yourself without collapse — not by pushing harder, but by shedding the identity burnout created so the truer one underneath can finally breathe again.

    You don’t come here to escape your life. You come here to return to it differently.

    Environment as Medicine

    The Pacific, the jungle, the warmth, and the horizon are intentionally chosen to awaken your system from autopilot.

    Release Before Rebuild

    Emotional clearing (MER®, somatics, breathwork) opens the space for identity reset — the foundation of real change.

    Breakthrough for High Performers

    A retreat built for leaders, founders, and visionaries who need more than rest — they need a return.

  • WHO TRANSCEND IS FOR

    For those standing at the edge of a necessary change.

    Transcend is for the person who has built a life...
    but can no longer live inside the version of themselves that built it.

    It’s for leaders, founders, and high performers who have spent years holding everything together — teams, families, companies, expectations — while slowly losing touch with the self underneath the responsibility.

    It’s for the ones who have achieved what they once dreamed of, yet feel strangely disconnected from their own success.

    It’s for the quiet moments you don’t talk about:

    the exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix

    the anxiety beneath the drive

    the sense that something in you is asking for honesty, for release, for a return.

    And it’s for those who are ready — perhaps for the first time — to stop coping long enough to actually come back to themselves.

    If you feel like you’re standing at the threshold between the life you built and the life that’s trying to emerge…


    Transcend was designed for you.

    Golden horizon light symbolizing clarity and identity return for high-performing individuals.

    For Individuals & Founders

    For Leaders, Founders, and High Performers

    You’ve been carrying more than most people know. Success hasn’t insulated you — it’s quietly exhausted you. You’re ready to release the emotional and physiological weight you’ve held for years, and reconnect with the identity that burnout buried.

    This is where you return to yourself — without collapse.

    For Organizations & Leadership Teams

    For HR, People & Culture, and Executive Teams

    You’re noticing key people struggling with chronic exhaustion, disengagement, or quiet burnout that wellness perks can’t touch.

    You need a retreat experience that actually resets the nervous system, and integrates seamlessly into sabbaticals, leave-of-absence pathways, and leadership wellbeing programs.

    Transcend offers a structured, evidence-informed reset for the leaders you can’t afford to lose.

  • WHY TRANSCEND WORKS WHEN TIME OFF DOESN'T

    Release first. Rebuild second. Return as yourself.

    Most approaches to burnout try to fix the symptoms:more time off, more sleep, more talk about balance, more coping.
    Transcend works differently.

    We don’t attempt to rebuild you on top of the exhaustion, emotions, and unconscious patterns that created your burnout in the first place.


    Instead, we create the conditions for your nervous system to reset — and for the identity you built in survival mode to finally soften.

    You release first. You return to yourself second. You rebuild from truth, not depletion.


    The result is a transformation that lasts —because it’s built on who you are, not who burnout forced you to be.

    Environment as Medicine

    Burnout lives in patterned environments. Transcend interrupts those patterns through jungle, ocean, heat, horizon, and sensory immersion — the elements that make your nervous system more open to change.

    Release Before Rebuild

    MER®, breathwork, somatic processing, and guided emotional clearing remove the weight you’ve been carrying — so you don’t rebuild yourself on top of collapse. This is the reset your nervous system has been asking for.

    Rhythmic Sequencing, Not Over-Scheduling

    Your transformation is designed in waves:
    deep work → rest → sensory integration → expansion.

    This rhythm prevents overwhelm and creates actual change in your physiology.

    Identity Return, Not Performance Reset

    Burnout doesn’t break you — it hides you. Transcend helps you reconnect with the part of you that’s been losing its voice, its clarity, its truth. This is not about becoming more productive. It’s about becoming more you.

  • YOUR TRANSCEND JOURNEY

    A curated arc designed to take you from collapse to clarity.

    Transcend isn’t arranged like a workshop or a vacation itinerary.

    It’s designed like a movie for your nervous system — with rising intensity, emotional release, deep quiet, and the kind of inner clarity that only comes when the old identity has finally let go.

    Every moment is sequenced intentionally:
    From the first breath you take overlooking the Pacific to the final ritual that anchors your return.

    This is the journey that brings you home to yourself.

  • THE IDENTITY-LED 5-PHASE ARC

    1

    Arrival & Decompression

    Your system has been in survival mode for too long. This phase softens your body into safety so you can finally breathe again.

    2

    Truth-Telling With Yourself

    You meet the identity shaped by burnout — the beliefs, patterns, and pressure you’ve been carrying alone.

    3

    Release & Reset

    Through emotional release work, MER®, and somatic processing, your body begins to unwind years of tension and survival strategies.

    4

    Identity Return & Reconnection

    You reconnect with the deeper, truer version of yourself that burnout buried.

    5

    Integration & The Return

    You leave with grounded clarity — not a plan to push harder, but a new identity to live from.

  • INSIDE THE TRANSCEND EXPERIENCE

    A curated blend of emotional release, somatic reset, and cinematic sensory immersion.

    Transcend is built around experiences that help you release the emotional and physiological weight you’ve been holding — and reconnect with the self that burnout buried.

    Every modality, every soundscape, every ritual is chosen not for trend or aesthetics, but for how it rewires your nervous system, deepens your honesty, and supports an identity shift that lasts.

    This is not wellness for escape.
    It’s transformation through immersion.

    You’ll stay in a calming, modern space crafted with natural textures, warm light, and quiet luxury.

    Nothing overwhelming, nothing overstated — just the kind of environment where your breath deepens, your mind softens, and your body knows it’s safe to let go.

  • FOR ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADERSHIP TEAMS

    A burnout recovery retreat designed to protect your people — and your culture.

    Burnout doesn’t just drain individuals — it erodes culture, clarity, creativity, and the emotional safety of your entire organization.

    Transcend is built for the leaders you can’t afford to lose.

    Instead of surface-level wellness perks or temporary rest, Transcend offers a structured, evidence-informed pathway that resets the nervous system, clears the emotional weight of chronic stress, and helps leaders return with clarity, stability, and renewed internal capacity.

    This retreat integrates seamlessly into:

    • Sabbatical programs
    • Extended leave of absence pathways
    • Leadership wellbeing initiatives
    • Return-to-work plans
    • Founder/Executive reset protocols

    You’re not sending your people away to rest.

    You’re sending them into a transformation that allows them to return stronger, clearer, and more aligned with the culture you’re building.

  • GUEST REFLECTIONS

    Stories from those who crossed the threshold — and returned changed.

    Every Transcend retreat shapes people in different ways.

    Some leave feeling lighter. Some leave clearer.

    Some leave finally able to breathe in a way they haven’t in years.

    Here are a few reflections shared by past guests who stepped into the work
    and returned to themselves with more truth, more clarity, and more inner space.

  • “For the first time in years, my nervous system isn’t braced for impact.
    I left Transcend feeling grounded, steady, and able to hear myself again.”

    “I expected rest. What I got was an entire reset — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I remember who I am now.”

    “The release work was life-changing.
    I didn’t realize how much tension, fear, and pressure I’d been carrying
    until it fell away.”

    “I returned home with clarity I didn’t know was possible —
    about my work, my relationships, and who I want to become.”

    “The sequencing, the environment, the emotional release —
    it felt like the exact reset my soul needed.
    Transcend gave me back my center.”

  • FRIENDLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    What most guests want to know before they begin their return.

  • YOUR RETURN BEGINS HERE

    If you feel the pull, you’re already on the threshold.

    Ready to release what you’ve been carrying. Ready to stop coping.
    Ready to return to the self that burnout buried.

    If something in you knows , it’s time

    Not to escape your life, but to come back to it differently

    We’re here to hold that return with you.
