BreakAway Retreats

What’s a “BreakAway Retreat”?
Well, to be completely honest, we don’t know just yet, but we are excited about the idea and to see where it leads.
We are trying to create a breakaway strategy retreat/workshop set in the middle of a what we believe to be the most healing, recharging and inspirational setting we can imagine (floating in the middle of the clear waters of the caribbean off of picture perfect islands).
We like to picture it as a personal “exit strategy retreat” for those who want/need a great change in their lives. It’s both a break away from it all and a chance to learn more about how you can take charge and break free from the live/work cycle permanently.
We have sought avenues for helping others to “take the leap” for some time, but have yet to find the perfect avenue or how to be the most help. One thing we keep hearing from others who reach out asking questions, looking for advice or hoping for a “nudge” to take a great leap of their own; is that they can’t come up for air long enough to plan for, much less figure out how to make a great change in their lives.
In one recent conversation, someone mentioned that what they really needed was simply some time away to think, plan, brainstorm, and spend some time asking questions with people who had already made the leap and could speak to things “from the other side”.
And at some point we realized we might be able to fill that need. We happen to be sitting on a boat that would allow people to get away from the real world, to decompress in a idyllic natural environment, and we could also use the time to help facilitate the conversation about goals, dreams, next steps and actionable items.
We realized that svKarma could become an opportunity for others to come and recenter, to work on the task of making change while also getting a bit of a glimpse of how we live. Not the picture perfect idea of a nomadic life and living aboard but the real day-to-day life we live on the water.
Our path
has continually surprised even us.
from traveling south in a VW bus, to designing a tiny home garage conversion to living in a sprintervan, to teaching ourselves to sail while island hopping the caribbean…
We don’t know what’s next, but we know we have perfected the process of change and following our hearts and passions.
Our passion is in following our passion
and we’re committed to helping others do the same.
What’s your lifelong dream/goal/destination?
How can you make it happen today?
Our first BreakAway Retreat for 4 guests will be in June 2020, and will be based in the Grenadines, one of our all-time favorite collection of islands in the Caribbean.
Our days will be spent sailing from island to island and exploring the beaches and underwater world that surrounds these magnificent islands, and our evenings (and other pockets) of time will be spent in deep conversation about not only our path to freedom but about your own.
Change doesn’t always happen overnight, but we have said for years that two of the most important steps in taking control of your own life trajectory are surrounding yourself with people who have similar passions/dreams/goals (and who are taking action to achieve them) and actively setting goals for yourself to take action of your own. Those steps are the very foundation of these retreats… to create a small, focused conversation among people actively working toward following their dreams, but in a setting that can’t help but inspire the conversations and activities among that group!
Our plan
has always been only a mantra and a pact with each other to choose happiness over money every single time.
Equal parts escape/retreat, goalsetting workshop, life-change forum, and “week in the life” opportunity… we are trying to give a few people the chance to get some very personal time with us to discuss openly and honesty the changes we made in order to be living this lifestyle and also do some of the mental work of looking at the changes they want to make to their own.
