Enjoy a beautiful environment together with smart, fun and ambitious people. Expect inspiring people, deep conversations, productive days, good food, good workouts, sauna sessions, hikes or motorcycle trips in the area, and more.

The focus for this retreat, and a general emphasis of Catalyst, will be personal growth. We are all the primary catalyst of all good and bad in our lives, and we feel the best way to enable each others’ growth is by no-nonsense, deep reflection.

📅 Dates: We’re renting the villa from the 9th to the 17th of June. We recommend everyone arrive on the 9th, and we can fly back out on the 16th or 17th.

You can expect an area with nature. Availability of hikes, beautiful sights and ability to work quietly.

It’s a 30 min cab ride, no more no less :)

We focus on ambitious founders & builders from our collective network of friends. Everyone will be active in a field of innovation either building, researching or growing (as in ‘company growth’). Expect backgrounds in (software) engineering, science, tech startups, and with some notable achievements along the way. No specific constraints on domain, but the general scope revolves around crypto, AI, SaaS, DTC, physics, among many others.

We won’t create a party villa, so don’t worry about distraction if you have goals you want to achieve. There will be good internet and enough room to work. Naturally it’s not an office, but a decent work environment won’t be lacking. Based on feedback from previous events, we’ll test the internet and post a clear planning upfront.

The prices were communicated privately.

This is for you if:

• You already reflect on your goals, progress and place in life
• You are self aware and have a mental list of things you can work on / improve in your life
• You are comfortable discussing personal things with inquisitive and supportive peers
• You see reflection as a tool to confront yourself with reality, push yourself to take action, and align your actions with your true values and long term goals
• You feel a very strong desire to get as much as you can from the years to come

We’ll make sure that those who join match this, and are good at holding a constructive and safe space while exploring the mind and planning our lives.
