Curious about the Second Harvest retreats?

Second Harvest is for people in the middle of life who look successful on paper but feel misaligned inside. They are typically in their 40s–60s. They’ve built careers, businesses, families, or reputations. They are competent, responsible, and respected. They’ve done what was expected of them and done it well. What’s changed is not their ability, but their relationship to how they’re spending their time. They feel a quiet exhaustion rather than a crisis. Motivation still exists, but meaning feels thinner. The old goals don’t pull like they used to. They don’t want another productivity system, self-help framework, or motivational push. They’re not broken and they’re not looking to be fixed. They’re thoughtful, curious, and self-aware enough to know something needs to shift. They value depth over hype, real conversation over performance, and experiences that feel human rather than transactional. They’re willing to slow down, reflect honestly, and take responsibility for what comes next. They’re not trying to escape their life. They’re trying to redesign it.

‍

Second Harvest creates the space and structure for people to step out of their routines and look clearly at where their energy, time, and attention are going. Through small groups, honest conversations, and carefully chosen experiences, we help participants reconnect to what actually matters to them now, not who they used to be or who they think they should be. The outcome isn’t a dramatic reinvention or a list of goals. It’s clarity, steadiness, and a grounded sense of direction they can take back into their real life and act on immediately.

Girona is a living paradox, in the best way possible. Medieval stonework meets modern design. Hidden gardens sit just steps from Gothic cathedrals. And all of it is wrapped in the golden light of northern Catalunya. Within its walls, you’ll find an oasis of calm and stillness. Just beyond these Roman walls, cultural treasures and wild coastlines.

This retreat blends creativity, reflection, and adventure. From the ancient ruins of Empúries to a slow cruise up the Costa Brava, Girona invites reinvention with every cobblestone and sea breeze.

Just about everything except your plane ticket and your curiosity.

Click the Apply button on this page or go directly to secondharvest.co/apply. Once we receive your application, we’ll set up a short conversation to ensure there’s a great fit—for you, and for the group. If it feels right on both sides, we’ll send a private link for payment to secure your spot.

You’re more than welcome to join us again even if you've attended another retreat. While the general structure is familiar, each experience is wholly unique. New rituals, new adventures, and new scenery to inspire fresh reflection. Many Harvesters do come back as part of a seasonal rhythm of personal growth, and each retreat builds on, but doesn’t repeat, what came before.

This isn’t just a retreat—it’s the start of a life you don’t need a vacation from. Many of us signed up for the life-plan that was go to school, get a good job, have a family, make millions and, finally, retire to live your dreams. You busted your ass and invested time and effort to make this plan work, only to discover that somewhere along the way status, money, or a sports car isn't enough. Life is not what you thought it would be. Maybe a spouse passed away, or your marriage dissolved, or maybe the market didn't deliver on it's promises. Life took a turn and now you don't have the support, love or money you expected. You realized that planning for retirement is a procrastination of life. Now you're at some midpoint in your life and you're tired of waiting. You’ve given your best years to careers, responsibilities, and expectations. But what about you? If you’re feeling stuck, lost, or like life has been happening to you instead of for you, Second Harvest is your turning point. This isn’t a fleeting escape—it’s the beginning of a clear and purposeful plan, a lifelong system of support, and a future that feels deeply, undeniably yours.

Apart from yoga, meditation and walking through medieval alleyways, we might be biking or hiking along scenic trails, paddle boarding, and lounging on Mediterranean boats. Most activities are gentle and optional. If you’re up for something bolder—like skydiving or gravel riding—Girona has access to those too. Just let us know your comfort level.

A select group of fascinating humans—think successful professionals, creative powerhouses, and resilient souls in search of what’s next. We spend a lot of time curating the groups and making sure everyone there is showing up for the best reasons. If you’re hoping for trust-falls and firewalking with a crowd of corporate suits or midlife crisis clichés, you’re in the wrong place.

Think light layers, comfortable walking shoes, athletic wear (for yoga and activities), swimwear, and something you feel good wearing to dinner under the stars or in one of the many chef approved restaurants. Bring the journal we send you, or bring your own. Bring curiosity. And maybe a little extra room in your suitcase—you’ll be leaving with more than you arrived with (emotionally and some local crafts).

Yes, but know that everyone attending the retreat will be expected to participate. This helps us ensure everyone is aligned with the experience. This retreat is designed to be immersive and distraction-free. Discounted rates for doubles are available.

Pricing for a full participant is $8,750. For doubles, (plus one guests, like spouses or partners), the additional price is $4,750. A payment page is shared once you’ve applied and we’ve had a short alignment call. This helps us keep the experience tailored, intimate, and intentional. Pricing includes all lodging, food, drinks, programming, and local experiences.

We don’t mind a little weather—it’s part of the experience. But if Mother Nature decides to throw a tantrum (think hurricanes, blizzards, or apocalyptic hailstorms), we’ll adjust the schedule or reschedule the retreat. Safety first, transformation and fun second.

Absolutely! By partnering with Affirm, we're able to offer you $0 down and 0% interest financing for up to 24 months. Simply choose Affirm at checkout to benefit from this fantastic opportunity.

If you’re asking that, you probably need this more than anyone. The people who attend aren’t the ones with extra time—they’re the ones who finally decided to prioritize themselves. Life will always be busy. The real question is: Are you ready to make space for what actually matters?

We know life happens. If you need to cancel 60 days or more before the day of the event, we’ll refund your payment minus a 25% fee to cover our advance booking costs. If you cancel within 30 days of the retreat start, we’ll do our best to transfer your spot to a future event if openings are available, but no refund will be provided.
