Bhutan is a country of mountains, monasteries and mysteries, known for its rich and authentic culture, untouched beauty, and deep spiritual energy. It is one of the last remaining Himalayan kingdoms that continues to live in harmony with nature.
From sacred monasteries on cliffs to peaceful mountain trails dotted with fluttering prayer flags, this is a destination that speaks to something ancient in all of us.
Over five unforgettable days, you’ll trek through pristine nature, see the unparalleled beauty of its forests and wildlife, sleep under the stars near the “Cave of a Thousand Prayers,” climb to the legendary Tiger’s Nest – one of the world’s most iconic spiritual sites – and more.
Ready to experience an exhilarating hike like never before that will make you feel like a true explorer?
Working towards your personal dreams and goals is one of the most fulfilling expressions of human happiness. This is where YOU will find the time, space, and atmosphere to recharge, reconnect with yourself, and break free!
On this retreat, you will learn new things about yourself: from your endurance, to how to prepare for challenges, weathering hardships, self-confidence, mindfulness, and going where others fear – and bring these lessons from the summit into your business, everyday family and life, and most importantly, into YOURSELF!
This is no ordinary retreat! While most such events focus on building bonds, helping you shift your mindset, and going from “I can’t” to “I can”, that’s where they end…missing a key component of the entire journey. That’s why most people don’t get results – because their journeys aren’t over yet!
This retreat was designed to give you the right tools, techniques, and lessons to declutter and mould yourself into a more practical, confident person with diamond-grade clarity on how to be successful. It blends elements from my personal Break Free methodology and is focused on ACTION. It’s about maintaining accountability after it’s all said and done. My journey with you is only complete when you are able to say…

I am an entrepreneur, author, and a passionate mountaineer.
Since 2010, I have scaled several of the tallest mountains in the world across five continents – a dream that I harboured since childhood.
As a global citizen, I have built successful businesses across two continents; but even after doing so, I struggled to experience peace, happiness, and abundance. Only once I was able to conquer my self-limiting mindsets and habits was I able to re-invent the complete spectrum of life – from mental focus to physical excellence.
With a singular focus on “de-cluttering” what no longer serves my life’s true calling and purpose, I was able to scale the actuals summits of the world as well as the metaphorical summits of personal mastery.
Breaking Free was so liberating and invigorating, and the joy and abundance that I felt was so profound that I felt everyone should have the chance to experience it.
I want to enable you to get diamond grade-clarity so that you too can break free as I once did.
