A summit designed for your next chapter

This workshop is designed for individuals who have spent years performing at a high level—professionally, creatively, or personally—but are now questioning the pace, direction, or sustainability of that performance. Through a series of guided reflections, movement exercises, and honest conversations, we’ll explore what it means to shift from performing for others to showing up as yourself. This isn’t about optimization or hustle, it’s about redefining what excellence looks and feels like in the second season of life. Whether you’re a founder, artist, parent, or executive, this is a space to recalibrate your relationship with ambition and discover a more grounded, authentic form of power.

What participants have experienced

"You couldn’t ask for a better guide to reinvention than Richard. He’s brilliant, curious, empathetic, and a great friend. He constantly challenges himself and those around him to do better, to be better, and anyone lucky enough to attend this retreat will leave renewed."

— Martin

"I can not express how grateful I am for that weekend. Wow I am totally blown away. I really was soooo stuck and it’s helped me see a bit of a way out. It was incredible - you really were not kidding when you said it was going to be magic. Thank you thank you!!"

— Colleen Zulich

"Thank you so much for having me on this trip. It was such an honor to be part of this journey with you. Would love to connect when you’re back and continue this journey together!"

— Mary Grace Levin

“The retreat gave me emotional clarity I didn’t know I needed. I came looking for quiet and reflection, but what I found was connection. I left with friendships and a renewed sense of courage for what comes next.”

— Suzanne Balassone

“There is something rare about being truly seen, and that’s what happened at Second Harvest. It wasn’t about performance, but presence. I left with more than memories — I left with allies.”

— Jennifer Linehan

“The biggest surprise was how much laughter and lightness accompanied the depth. I came expecting something serious and got that, but also joy, play, and the power of pausing. It was exactly what I didn’t know I needed.”

— Brad Stanton

“The retreat was a reminder that slowing down is not the same as stepping back. It’s actually moving forward with more intention. I found space to breathe, and in that space, new ideas emerged.”

— Natalie Fernandez

“We often spend our lives talking, but rarely do we spend them listening. In Austria, I was reminded that silence can be the most generous gift. Second Harvest taught me how to be present again.”

— Wouter Oudemans

“I thought I was coming for inspiration. What I received was transformation. A rare gift, not because it was flashy, but because it was simple, human, and true.”

— Nino Maisuradze

“What struck us was the intimacy of it all. Fireside chats, shared meals, quiet walks in the forest — these were not just activities, they were containers for courage and creativity to emerge. It reminded us why human proximity is the real luxury.”

— Bernhard & Kathrin
