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 group of us go and live in it for a week. We train in the morning, eat properly, and spend the rest of the day around people who are building something. Three have happened so far.
It is not a course. There are no modules, no slides and no lecture about index funds. The value is the week and the people in the house. If you want the material, that is the book, and it costs €39.

Marbella, Spain
4 to 10 October 2026 · 7 people signed up so far
A villa with a private pool and enough space that the week does not feel like a schedule. Breakfast together, then whatever the day is. 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 registration link before anyone else, and pays less than the prices above. The retreat is not included in the €29 a month and it is not meant to be. It is a separate week that 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 to be straight about
Nobody at Crete or Portugal came through the membership, because the membership did not exist yet. Those weeks were my own network. Marbella in October is the first one where members get the first invitation, so it is also the first one I can honestly describe as something the room gives you. Ask me again in November and I will tell you how many went.
Want the dates before everyone else? The room is €29 a month. Or read the proof page first, which is what I would do.
