Who is the Second Harvest retreat designed for?
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.
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 exhaustion rather than crisis. Motivation still exists, but it’s been confused with purpose. Motivation for the wrong reasons or for goals that they have outgrown.
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 and they want real conversation over performative nonsense.
Most of all they want experiences that feel human rather than transactional. They’re willing to slow down, reflect honestly, and take full responsibility for what comes next. They’re not trying to escape their life. They’re trying to redesign it.
