Undone Retreats
LEAVE NOTHING ON THE TABLE OF LIFE
You’re bold….a risk taker, and more than anything, you want to live a rich, full life. You have already accomplished so much, but you know there’s more. With every passing year, it becomes more important to you to live with real purpose, using the short time you have on this planet to your full advantage, making every moment count. There are things left undone, and you don’t want to leave anything on the table of life.
In this spirit, we invite you to embark on a transformative odyssey of self-discovery on one of our Undone Retreats. Our self-actualizing retreat is a haven for those seeking inner harmony, personal growth, and a deeper connection with their true selves.

Our Last Retreat: Italy, October 2024
A Life Changing Experience
It’s safe to say that everyone had a magical and inspiring week. The combination of getting away to a spectacular location and spending time digging down deep to clarify what really mattered produced amazing results for everyone involved. It was the perfect way to really focus and make specific plans to finally do the things in our lives that were yet undone.
A Week in a Tuscan Villa
The Villa Daniella Grossi
Our retreat took place at Villa Daniella Grossi, a breathtaking Villa with immaculate grounds, luxury suites, and a swimming pool. At this well-staffed Villa, all of our needs were taken care of, including a hearty breakfast, and amazing dinners, prepared nightly by the Villa’s team.
Morning Workshops
Intensive Self-Discovery
Every morning, guests participated in an exclusive retreat workshop, designed to help them uncover the next steps in co-creating their desired life.
These powerful workshops allowed the participants to ask the most important questions about their lives, decide what it was they wanted to accomplish, and create an action plan do the things in their lives that were yet undone.
Excursions
Experiencing Italy
It wasn’t all work and no play! We went on plenty of outings to take in the best of what Italy has to offer. We explored the city of Cinque Terre and walked along its breathtaking coast.
We also spent the day in the city of Lucca, an unbelievably beautiful Italian city, which was full of art, architecture, and history.
Activities
Cooking, Tasting, and More…
We learned the in’s and out’s of making traditional Italian cuisine from scratch. Yes, that includes making our own pasta. We also went to an olive oil tasting on the farm where they grow, harvest, and press the olives. Plus, a full body massage, and a night at the opera!
Relationships
Becoming Friends and Colleagues
Few things are as inspiring as developing relationships with people who are determined to write the next and best chapter of their lives. The entire retreat was shot through with a contagious and exciting energy that propelled all the participants forward.
Food
What can we say?
We ate the best food in the world. 🙂
MEANING What matters most to you? Knowing you cannot run down all paths with the time you have left, which vision of life will bring you the most sense of meaning and keep you engaged along the way?
METTLE What are your strengths? Where do you struggle? When you understand what you can leverage and you develop yourself in the gaps, you have the power to seize your vision.
MOMENTUM What keeps you moving towards what you truly want? Installing the right support, habits, structure and partners, eases the effort and condenses the timeline to success.
MAKING GOOD Are you making your mark and is it a satisfying one? Every human yearns to benefit others as they live into their gifts. Choose the good you want to create next, leverage where you’ve already been, using the new tools and resources we’ve learned together.
You know there’s more life to live.
There are more adventures to experience, accomplishments to reach, dreams to manifest, big things to do and small moments to cherish.
With all you do, there is no place or time where you can unplug from the rush of life to land back into an uncluttered and quiet space within so that you can remember what you really want, who you are, and what wants attention next.
You know what you want next, but you feel like you need to meet a new part of yourself to start your new adventure. You need to be see with and be seen with new eyes so that you can find the courage and fortitude to begin.
For years you’ve been going and going and going. You know that a change in direction or focus is calling you but you’re not sure how you would pivot or leap off the path you’ve been on.
You’ve done a lot, made a lot, helped a lot, but there is a dream, an urge that is just for you and not the world. If you don’t do it, you feel you will have left a piece of your life un-lived.
It’s not too late to capture it all!
With the right questions, some unique techniques, discussion, reflection and a gentle, purposeful space of accountability, you will harness the courage, clarity and momentum to plan and capture the next chapter of your life.
