About this Retreat
Your Guides
Lakisha is a tech nomad, digital marketer and retreat host originally from Germany, currently based in East Africa. After years of working remotely and traveling the world, she kept noticing the same pattern in the nomad community: talented, ambitious people with great ideas who struggled to actually finish what they started, not because of a lack of skill, but because of a lack of structure, accountability and the right environment.
That is why she created goldenweeks, a boutique accountability retreat for digital nomads and remote workers who are ready to stop planning and start finishing. As the host, Lakisha brings a grounded, no-fluff energy to the retreat. She is not here to inspire you with motivational speeches. She is here to create the conditions where real progress actually happens.
Lakisha has lived and worked across Europe, East Africa and beyond, and brings first-hand experience of what it takes to stay productive, focused and intentional as a location-independent professional. She speaks fluent German and English and has a background in SEO, digital marketing and remote client work.
Details of this retreat
goldenweeks is a 2-week accountability retreat for digital nomads, remote workers, founders and freelancers who want to make real, meaningful progress on their projects. Set on the beautiful island of Zanzibar, Tanzania, the retreat brings together a small group of 8 ambitious people who share one goal: to stop procrastinating and finally finish what they started.
Every day is built around focused work sessions, peer accountability and a structured daily rhythm that makes it easy to stay on track. Outside of the work blocks, there is time to enjoy the beach, connect with the group and experience the magic of East Africa, including a snorkeling trip during the retreat week.
With only 8 spots available, every participant is selected through an application process to ensure a focused, motivated and supportive group dynamic. Accommodation near the beach is included in the retreat price.
