About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Price includes lodging, programming, fitness/yoga classes, contrast therapy and meals. Extra experiences (like massage or 1:1 coaching) can be added on separately after you register.

Everything on the schedule is optional. We want you to get what you need out of this weekend.

Check-in is Friday between 2:00-4:00pm. The first session is 4:30pm on Friday. We wrap up on Sunday around 10:30am, but we are about an hour outside San Diego and recommend planning some buffer time for travel and lunch so you're not rushed leaving. We also have an early-check in option if you'd like to add an extra day and come on Thursday. Then you would have 3 nights and 2 full days of full access to the property amenities, classes, and pre-retreat programming. You'll see that add-on as an option when you register.

 



 

Join us for WIRED: An exploration into your unique design, a retreat dedicated to uncovering the intricacies of what makes you uniquely you. Over three days, we'll dive into your personal history, personality, and strengths to gain a clearer understanding of how you show up in work, life, and relationships. By the end of the retreat, you'll have a deeper sense of self-awareness, an understanding of your unique wiring, and tools to help you lead and love more effectively.

 

Pre-Retreat Workshop: Laying the Foundation
Before we dive into the deeper work, we'll start by setting the stage for our journey together. This session is about preparing to explore who we are and what shapes our behavior. We'll discuss the importance of self-awareness and how understanding our wiring impacts every area of our lives, from work to personal relationships. This workshop is designed to get you thinking about the ways your history, personality, and strengths come together to form the unique person you are today.
Optional Workshops
1. Mapping Your Story: Understanding Your Timeline
Our past shapes who we are today. In this workshop, we'll create a timeline of your life’s significant events, relationships, and experiences that have influenced your identity. By reflecting on your personal history, you'll gain insight into the patterns that have developed over time and how they've impacted your behavior, decisions, and relationships. This exercise helps us understand the forces that have shaped us and how they continue to influence our lives.

 

2. The Enneagram: Exploring Personality
Already familiar with the Enneagram but want to go deeper? In this session, we’ll explore how your type truly shapes your thoughts, behaviors, and interactions. For those unsure of their type, we'll help you identify it and understand its impact on your daily life. You'll gain insights into how your type influences decision-making and relationships, using this knowledge to navigate challenges, enhance strengths, and approach others with more empathy. This is about leveraging the Enneagram for meaningful growth and connection.

 

3. Working Genius: Identifying Your Strengths
We all have areas where we naturally excel and others where we struggle. The Working Genius framework helps you identify your innate talents and areas where you can make the most significant impact. This workshop will guide you through discovering your strengths and how they show up in your work and personal life. Understanding your working genius not only helps you operate more effectively but also brings clarity to how you can contribute best in your relationships and teams.

 

4. Putting It All Together: Synthesis and Application
In this final workshop, we’ll synthesize everything we’ve explored—the timeline of your life, your Enneagram type, and your working genius. This session focuses on how these insights come together to shape how you love, lead, and show up in the world. We'll discuss practical ways to use this newfound self-awareness for personal growth, better relationships, and more effective leadership. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of who you are and a plan for how to develop in areas that matter most to you.

 

Why This Is Important
Understanding who we are at a deeper level has a profound impact on every aspect of our lives. When we’re aware of what has shaped us, our natural strengths, and how we’re wired to interact with the world, we can navigate our work, relationships, and personal growth with greater clarity and purpose. This retreat is an opportunity to explore these aspects of yourself in a supportive environment, providing the tools and insights to live and lead more authentically.

 

Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for anyone ready to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and how they interact with the world. It's ideal for those who want to explore their personal history, personality traits, and strengths to gain clarity on how they show up in their work, relationships, and daily life. Whether you're familiar with tools like the Enneagram and Working Genius or just starting on this journey of self-discovery, this retreat is designed to help you connect the dots between who you are and how you lead and love. If you're looking to grow in self-awareness and use that insight to live and lead more authentically, this retreat is for you.

Attention to Detail with all the personal touches
Wow. What a spot. The Oaks has everything you need to rest and make a memory or two. Instagram-worthy decor - imagine if Joanna Gaines remodeled a youth camp - makes this place cozy and comfortable. The staff was so friendly and kind and learned everyone's name the first day. The food was on the level of any resort you could go to. And the pool - let's just say that you HAVE to do the slide and high dive. I'd say more but let's do our best to keep this gem of southern California a secret.

A wonderful escape to slow down and focus on one's self
I registered for a weekend retreat, and was rewarded with a place to rest, find some clarity (and tools to use for later), make connections with others, and relax. The weekend had emotionally challenging conversations and workshops, as well as time for fun. I would like to go back again, and make The Oaks part of a regular rhythm of my life. You have to show up, and make the space to do the emotional, and spiritual work. You will get out what you put into the program. The food was delicious- in a way that you were not stuffed and, never left feeling hungry, to be fueled for the day. I am sure that the menu was intentionally designed to provide you a healthy foundation for the weekend. The property is gorgeous. I often just laid under the oaks to read and reflect, and enjoyed sitting on the deck, in a rocking chair, connecting with others.

Amazing grounds, staff and food!
Loved everything about The Oaks! The room was lovely, very clean and well furnished. I stayed in the Kendall building. The food was EXCELLENT and was able to accommodate for my gluten-free and dairy-free food options. The staff was SUPER friendly and helpful, esp with the golf carts bringing you back and forth to your car and helping with the bags. The atmosphere was very relaxed and peaceful. My favorite part was the trail riding and also the hike to the water tower to watch the sunset. Highly recommend for a solitary retreat or group retreat or any other type of retreat event!
My only advice would be to allow extra time to get there- depending on where you are driving from. I drove from the Orange County area and it took over 3 hours to get there on a Friday afternoon (left at 2pm and got there around 530pm). On the way home- late Sunday afternoon- it only took an hour and half to get back (no traffic).

Absolutely Fantastic
This was my second time at a Flagship Retreat at The Oaks.
The property is well appointed, comfortable, and not at all cluttered.
The staff is delightful and very hospitable. I felt right at home the moment I arrived and all throughout the weekend.
The pace of the Flagship Retreat is spot on. They have truly crafted all of the right elements for a thoughtful, restful, and very fun retreat.
I'll be back!
