From the alumni roll

"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 just wanted to say thank you — these last few days at Second Harvest were some of the most meaningful I’ve had in a long time. I came in feeling raw and unsure, hoping to find what’s next, and I’m leaving with not just tools, but a community of people I can lean on as I work through a lot of transition, hurt, and healing."

— Nehal Patel

"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

This gave me clarity I did not realize I was missing. From the very first day, it surfaced beliefs I had been carrying for years without questioning them or even being aware of them. Seeing those stories clearly helped me understand how much of my urgency, fear, and pressure were rooted in old narratives about identity, safety, and aging.

— Kristen Shaheen

It was a punctuation in time that was much needed; reminding me to be intentional. I appreciated the experimental mindset vs. goal-driven one - which is usually what happens at the onset of any calendar year with resolutions where you are thinking in absolutes. I found this to be much more forgiving, softer, approachable, and framing it in this way felt like way less of a daunting, scrutinizing task and more like a nudge in the self-love direction.

— Lauren Sozio

By working through the combination of "ID" narratives and "OS" narratives and living in the questions, I've achieved an interesting new state of acceptance and curiosity. Instead of trying to optimize my way into a better self, I can instead pursue a felt-state (beginner's mind) to build around:.. openness, curiosity, presence, expression, humility, freedom from expectation, connection, etc. My freedom of movement seems to have increased. And, coincidentally or not, new doors appear to be opening. Super grateful, thank you!

— Brandon Comstock

The biggest realization for me was stepping back and recognizing how long I’ve been stuck in this uncomfortable space, fully identifying with the unhelpful narrative. I’ve been perpetuating this heavy cloud of despair and ruin—completely at odds with the optimistic, adventurous, "can-do-anything" dreamer version of myself. I’m hyper-aware of this now. And know people around me are noticing.

— Chris Merrill

I did day one [of the 72-Hour Reset} yesterday and was truly saddened by the stories that surfaced and how they’ve shaped me. Excited to reframe a few things in my life so I can move forward.

— JP Tanner

I really love how you two consciously create space for people to be vulnerable. It is quite beautiful and so appreciated - especially in a world that sometimes feels lonely, uncertain and polarized.

— Christine Holland

I really appreciate the continued engagement you’ve been offering after the 72-Hour Reset. The biweekly conversations and the effort you’re putting into keeping the community connected say a lot about what you’re building. All of this is landing at a meaningful transitional moment for me, so I’m grateful for the timing.

— Erik Bettencourt

Thank you for a wonderful overall Spring Summit event. The time and love you put into it was evident, and the positive energy was tangible. I loved the breathwork and visualization. The fireside chats were very inspirational. The vulnerability the speakers showed helped them be relatable.

— John Simonetta

I was observing the Spring Summit participants at all times, which is what I always do, and people seemed so connected and so engaged and really really moved by a lot of the conversation. I was so happy for you guys and so glad to be included.

— Kristin Cabot

I felt like I really needed this and it allowed me to take a step back and just pour into myself. It felt great also having some meaningful conversations and connections. You and Richard make such a great team and are doing something so special.

— Kim G

Thank you so much for the chance to join you all. It was so cool to see what you have built and experience it first hand. I came away with some great nuggets. The breath work and my third crop circle session were so dope!

— Bethany LoMonaco

Shit happens in life. In my case, as a CEO you really aren't afforded the mental space to process and adjust. Second Harvest creates an environment of similar beings with similar journeys. You can pause, reflect and set a new course or at the very least a new mindset allowing you to go forward in a more meaningful way.

— Jeff Dickerson

The anti-conference, that has set me on my path. I want to be part of Second Harvest for years to come.

— Elisabeth B

The synergy, empathy, and openness in the room felt like a warm blanket on a chilly day. I left feeling grateful, encouraged, and connected.

— Steve Woodward

I can't tell you how much I loved today's Spring Summit. Thank you for the thoughtfulness with which you brought us all together and helped us along our winding journeys.

— Angela P

I want you to know what I appreciate that WASN'T there: no scarcity sales pitch to join, no loud music and dancing before each session, no long intros for each speaker, no fist pumping your neighbor telling them "YOU can do this." I loved the space that was created, the invitation to be imperfect, the breath… the magic.

— Sandy A

More details to come, but Second Harvest and the 72-hour reset were the catalyst. I made changes at my company this week Team shuffles, getting stable, rebuilding. Love you, bye.

— Chris M

Richard, I can’t even begin to tell you but our life is changing faster than the trees whip by the window when you look HARD RIGHT out of your car when driving down I-95. I’ve made new friends and I’m just fucking blown away about the fact that I’ve tapped into a whole other stratosphere of life, that I never even knew existed before reconnecting with you and Devon. I really want to thank you.

— Randy B

It was such a pleasure spending a day with you all last month. Such a meaningful and impactful fellowship.

— Tucker Hamilton

I also want to share why this experience was so special to me. You helped me discover feelings and possibilities I didn’t know existed. I felt safe to be myself and share my most vulnerable moments without judgment. This was not easy to do but I did it and came out of it stronger because I felt seen and celebrated by each of you. I’m incredibly grateful for the space you created for me to simply be and trust. You all are a gift.

— Susanna Yee

It was such a great experience with amazing people! So much better than I would have thought. I’ve learned more about myself by observing and listening to you all. I loved every sunny day of it and will keep it as a beautiful memory. Thank you all and love to see you someday somewhere!

— Kenny Morrell

“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

I had no idea what I'd be walking into, but I was so happy to be a participant. The energy was real, and the impact was palpable for folks. I suspect that's not an easy emotion to create, so kudos. And, I met some very cool humans.

— Peter Zotto

“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
