We have partnered with the Ayahuasca Foundation in Peru who will facilitate a traditional ceremony on day 5 of the retreat. An Ayahuasca Ceremony is an opportunity to work closely with an indigenous traditions through a guided journey into another dimension. The natural healing power of ayahuasca and other medicinal plants help ayahuasca ceremony participants to reconnect to nature and to their true selves. You will have great care and years of experience looking after your wellbeing and emotional aftercare.
VibroAcoustics Sound Massage non-invasively stimulates the Vagus Nerve - immediately relaxing the mind and body, eliciting feel-good emotions, a heightened state of well-being and improved mind-body connection. This is a state of the art piece of equipment backed by science. We use these bass modules daily for a variety of treatments including meditation, breath work, and sound massage.
You will have the opportunity to experience 3 distinct breath work practises across the 8 breath work journeys happening during the retreat. You will have more energy, reduced stress levels, and an augmented immune response that swiftly deals with pathogens. Our transformational breath work journey has the potential to be one of the most impactful experiences of the entire retreat.
Darkness therapy has recently exploded into the general publics awareness with celebrities and magazines beginning to recognise the profound science and deeply spiritual practice that has been around for thousands of years. We have partnered with Sky Cave Retreats, the leading business within darkness therapy in the US to help us cultivate a unique introductory experience to darkness therapy. You will experience the profound healing properties within the 24 hour darkness experience that happens on day 3 of the retreat.
Sweating has long been used as a therapy. The Mayans used sweat houses 3,000 years ago, according to Harvard Health Publications. In Finland, saunas have been used for thousands of years. Every morning we offer unique saunagus experiences with up to 10 degrees, soundtrack, various scented oils, and an expert facilitator.
Having worked directly with Wim Hof and studied his method for years, you will also get to start your day with group cold exposure. The science behind this practise is well established and benefits include the buildup of brown adipose tissue and resultant fat loss, reduced inflammation that facilitates a fortified immune system, balanced hormone levels, improved sleep quality, and the production of endorphins— the feel-good chemicals in the brain that naturally elevate your mood.
With our exclusive workbook and facilitator guidance you will complete over 25 specialised exercises designed to uncover the driving forces in your life. We believe in the notion that everything worth achieving is 80% psychology and 20% mechanics. Without the mindset and foundational understanding of how you operate optimally in the world, even the best strategy won't be effective.
Unlike most self development events and business seminars we take what you eat, drink, and how you treat your physical body during the week very seriously. A chef prepares deliciously nutritious meals and juices, and our facilities have everything from a sauna to a state of the art vibrating bass module for Breathwork journeys and meditation. We are constantly engaging our physical bodies so that we can be in high quality states.
Once your mindset and health is optimised we have collected and continuously update our strategic insights to help you scale your business, strengthen your relationships, and live life in general to the fullest. We have collected blueprints, philosophy, and tactics from some of the best in the world having ourselves attended over a 1000 hours worth of retreats and events from around the world.
The X factor of the Edit Experience is the use of the self coined term 'Elaborate Intervention'. We do not know of any other retreat that does this. Much like the 1997 film 'The Game' by David Fincher, we believe that powerful experiences and lasting breakthroughs often require extreme measures. A near death experience, the loss of a loved one, and the birth of a child are all experiences that can change our lives forever. Every year we come up with new ways to create lasting breakthroughs by designing uniquely intense experiences.
