Long lunches with the mountains behind us, and dinner on the terrace every night. Most of the week was the table.

The retreats
Once or twice a year I rent a villa and a few of us go and live in it for a week. We train in the mornings. We eat properly. The rest of the day is whatever the day turns into, around people who are building something. Three have happened so far.
It’s not a course.
No modules. No slides. Nobody standing at the front with a deck about index funds.
You’re paying for the week, and for who else is in the house. The material is the book, and that costs €39.

Marbella, Spain
4 to 10 October 2026 · 7 people signed up so far
A villa with a pool, and enough room that nobody has to run the week to a schedule. Breakfast together. Then whatever the day turns into. Evenings on the terrace.
What the days are
- Morning workouts and group training
- Running along the coast
- Padel, which gets competitive fast
- Jet ski session
- ATV ride through the hills
- Hiking
- Boat trip
- Sauna and ice bath
- Rooftop dinner over the coast
- Walking the old town when the pace drops
What it costs
Single bed€1,950 per person for the week
Shared bed€1,450 per person, if you come with a friend or partner
That covers the villa for the week, every activity on the list, chef-prepared meals, three a day. Flights are not included.
Members go first. Everyone in the room gets the dates and the link first, and pays less than the prices above. The retreat isn’t included in the €29 a month, and it was never meant to be. A week in a villa costs what a week in a villa costs.
Before
Portugal
7 to 14 September 2025 · About ten people
Surfing in the morning, sessions in the afternoon. The week that convinced me the room needed to exist the rest of the year.
In the house: Jan Benedikt Mundorf, Frank Sondors, Danny Wörns, Dom Urniezius, Philipp Maier, Ian Cleary.
Came in to teach: Tom Hunt, Christian Krause, Jonathan Molina, Thibaut Souyris.
One thing I should be straight about
Nobody at Crete or Portugal came through the membership. The membership didn’t exist yet. Those weeks were my own network, and I’d rather say that than let the photos imply otherwise.
Marbella was the first one where members got the invitation first. So it’s the first one I can honestly call something the room gives you. Ask me how many went and I’ll tell you.
Want the dates before everyone else? The room is €29 a month. Or read the proof page first. That’s what I’d do.
