Eco Business Retreat

We encourage sustainable travel and offer an individual surprise reward* to those arriving by train from their previous location. The closest train station is Diano San Pietro (4 km). The closest airports are Nice and Genova (each 100 km). We can assist with transfer from the train station and airports. Before retreat start, we will coordinate arrival times of all participants to find out the most convenient option to share rides.

*ask us for details, if you are interested

The Ligurian riviera is known for its mild and consistent climate. Temperatures in the region in October vary between 15 – 25 C with little rain. We recommend to pack a bit of everything 🙂 (incl. a sweater and a jacket for the evening hours)

A life in harmony with nature is priority to us. This is why we collaborate with local structures who align to our values of eco-conscious and sustainable living. This means for example consumption of local and seasonal products, reduction of waste, collaboration with local persons and businesses and support of local farmers. For our retreats we have developed a sustainability concept (soon available on our website) to ensure transparency, share knowledge and raise awareness for this important topic amongst participants. Living up to our values on short experiences like a 1-week retreat is challenging and we encourage you to help us improve our concept to become more sustainable.

The Eco Business Retreat is designed for open-minded professionals, who are curious to explore something new and connect with nature and community. We are combining co-working and co-created community sessions where we network and share knowledge and skills. The group may have different professional backgrounds and be diverse. However, we are ensuring good fit by aligning on our values and drive to contribute to community and make an impact.

We offer apartments for both, shared and single use. You can express your preference to share an apartment and we will try to match you with another suitable participant who is open to sharing, too. 

You can get the full value out of the experience without any additional costs. Everything listed under “What’s included” is covered. There will be optional activities by external parties offered in addition, that you pay extra, if you chose to participate. 

Absolutely not. Everything that is offered is an invitation. We are giving options and impulses to provide the best value possible, but you choose what serves you best. We also encourage every participant to co-create the experience with us and e.g. offer something they like to share with the group in the creative community offerings sessions or come together for individual 1:1 sessions. This way, the experience will naturally align to the groups talents and we can make use of our full potential.

Vegetarian and vegan food will be provided for everyone. As we are a small group we can consider special dietary restrictions and allergies. A chef will be on-site for the complete week to manage the meal plan and organise the kitchen. Breakfasts are self-organized, lunches will be prepared by our chef to give us more space for co-working, workshops and other activities during the day. For dinner, we will organize ourselves into small cooking teams and use the common kitchen to prepare meals together with our chef. We believe, one of the beautiful bonding experiences of coliving is preparing meals and eating together, a great chance to learn and try out new recipes and get creative together. 

We ensured, that there is good WIFI available in the co-working area and the apartments. The co-working area can be used for individual work, collaboration and workshops. The apartments are equipped with a table / workspace for calls or focus time. 

Before the experience we get the group together to connect virtually and clarify all open questions and help you to prepare for the experience. Please share anything you want to offer to the community in our workshops beforehand with us, so we can support you and coordinate. Don´t forget to bring a journal, a yoga mat, a re-usable water bottle, sunscreen and sneakers or hiking boots.

Yes. We offer incentives for sustainable travel (by train) and for referrals, for example, if you bring your friend or partner and share an apartment or promote the experience within your network. If you like to participate but do not have the budget, we are open to discuss collaborations. Please contact us for more details.
