About this Retreat
Your Guides
I’m Sam. I’m AuDHD, and in the last seven years I’ve grown a 200k+ subscriber YouTube channel, published a workbook that’s sold over 5,000 copies, landed a traditional publishing deal, and have been mentoring neurodivergent business owners and running retreats for the last three years.
I built all of this as a late-diagnosed AuDHDer, figuring it out as I went, with a brain that doesn’t do things the conventional way.
That’s exactly why I can help you — I know firsthand how hard it is to build something sustainable when your brain works differently. And I know it’s absolutely possible.
Details of this retreat
A day retreat hosted by Samantha Stein, renowned neurodivergent retreat facilitator, author and mentor to neurodivergent business owners, freelancers, academics... or really anyone looking to align their working practices more with the way their brain actually works (not fit into society's boxes of how you "should" be working).
During this day event we will learn about sustainable business practices that don't burn you out - what you need to understand about yourself and watch out for.
The day includes
- Practical workshops and discussions run by neurodivergent people FOR neurodivergent people
- Low pressure networking (the kind where you can just exist near other humans without performing - we promise we'll never make you do an elevator pitch at a Wild Brains event)
- Meeting like-minded people who actually get it
- Lunch, tea, coffee, homemade snacks
No formal diagnosis required - if you identify as a Wild Brain, you belong here!
