This is something different. In collaboration with Aleid and Doby at Sharanam Retreats, we're bringing a small group of leaders and independent professionals to the Costa Brava for a week of deep work, rest, and real conversation — set in the Catalan countryside, easily accessible from Barcelona.

This program has a particular focus on transitions — moments when something needs to change, but the path forward isn't yet clear. Whether you're navigating organizational change, a shift in personal direction, or simply a feeling that it's time for something new, this is the space for it.

  • This program is designed for:

    • Leaders and managers in small or mid-sized organizations

    • Independent professionals (freelancers, consultants, the self-employed)

    • Anyone navigating a period of change or uncertainty

    • People who are exhausted by “the usual way of doing business” and ready to do something about it

    If you read the list on our home page and recognized yourself, this is probably for you.

  • This is a deeper, more immersive format than our typical cohorts — a full week designed to give you the time and space to do deep work on big problems.

    The first day sets the tone. We'll begin to honestly confront the challenges that leadership brings — including the ones that are hardest to talk about — and lay the groundwork for everything ahead.

    Days 2–5 are built around group work. In small cohorts, guided by your facilitator, we'll work through the challenges each participant brings with them, finding new ways forward…together.

    The setting does as much work as the program. Each morning starts with a yoga session led by Aleid, adapted to wherever you are in your practice. The food — prepared daily by Doby from fresh local ingredients — is exceptional. And there's genuine time each day to rest, explore, and simply be somewhere beautiful.

    Ready to find out if it's a fit? Get in touch — we'd love to chat.

    • A clearer picture of who you are as a leader — and where to focus your energy

    • Permission to stop trying to achieve the impossible

    • New ways of thinking about the specific challenges you brought with you

    • A small group of peers who you’ve built a real connection with

    • Practical tools you can start using immediately

    • Dedicated one-on-one time with your facilitator to keep the momentum going


    This program isn't about sitting through presentations and taking notes. It's about doing real work, on real problems, with real people.

  • Sharanam’s vision is “to offer a welcoming and supportive space to anyone, at any point in their life. We aim to provide tools for relaxation, health, and navigating life with greater ease and resilience.”
