A Bewildered Retreat

with Martha Beck and Rowan Mangan

Saturday, Jan 10 - Thursday, Jan 15, 2026
Saturday, Jan 31 - Thursday, Feb 5, 2026
IMILOA, COSTA RICA

Join Martha Beck and Rowan Mangan for a “culture cleanse” retreat in beautiful Costa Rica!

The Pure.Wild.Self retreat is an intentional break in the year for kindred spirits who feel bewildered and want to feel be-wilder-ed. It’s a connection point for a special group of people who feel the pull to re-wild themselves… and to rewild our whole damn world.

We don’t know about you, but we’ve been feeling the need to go where we can breathe again. We need to pause, to see the stars, and feel the earth beneath our feet.

The 2026 African STAR

A Self-Transformation Adventure Retreat

An Adventure in Africa with Martha Beck

LONDOLOZI, SOUTH AFRICA

It’s time. You are ready for that next step; you know it’s bigger and more powerful than personal growth.

You feel a deeper call for purpose in your life, and you know it will quite literally take you to places you’ve never been. You know your next steps will help heal not only yourself, but also other people and the world. And those other people — the ones you know you are meant to connect with — well, you can almost see them taking shape in your peripheral vision. These people are part of your village.

If this sounds familiar, join me for one of our two 2026 African STARs (Self-Transformation Adventure Retreats). Spend a few delicious days—in an intimate group of no more than 12 people—being coached by me, by Master Coach and tracker Boyd Varty, and by my team, in one of the most magical places in the world: Londolozi Game Reserve, South Africa.

5 PATHS TO YOUR PURPOSE

A FREE Masterclass with Martha Beck

REGISTER TODAY FOR INSTANT ACCESS

Do you ever feel a bit purposeless? As you do laundry or answer endless emails, does something in you keep insisting you’re meant to do more?

That something is correct.

You have a unique life purpose, one that’s meant to serve the world and fill your days with meaning. You were born to recognize that purpose … but chances are you don’t. Early in life, most of us learn to ignore our purpose and do random things that other people value.

It’s time to unlearn that pattern.

Part of Martha Beck’s purpose is to help other people find their purpose. She’s offering an exciting, free masterclass that will help you notice and name the paths to your purpose that are always opening at your feet, though you may not be able to see them.

Register today to receive a recording of Martha’s FREE masterclass, 5 Paths to Your Purpose.

Beyond Anxiety

Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life’s Purpose

Monday, Sep 22 - Saturday, Sep 27, 2025
Rising Circle Ranch, Santa Fe, NM

Discover simple creative practices that dissolve anxiety and unlock your inner peace, calm, and confidence.

Spend five transformative days with author, sociologist, and speaker Dr. Martha Beck and Chip Conley in Santa Fe and discover real-life solutions that will help you find your calm and confidence – and transform your anxiety into a catalyst for growth, healing, and self-mastery.

Using a combination of the latest neuroscience as well as her background in sociology and coaching, Martha will show you how to:

  • Understand the external and internal causes of anxiety and learn how to distance yourself from them
  • Engage different parts of your nervous system to activate your creative brain and use it to shut down anxiety spirals
  • Use simple mindfulness practices to grow awareness of your thoughts and release stories that no longer serve you
  • Nurture a sense of curiosity that transforms anxiety into fascination and innovative problem solving
  • Reframe the things that alarm you as fodder for creative solutions – and open up a whole new way of looking at the world
  • Use your anxiety to propel yourself into a life filled with peace, meaning, and joy

You will leave feeling transformed and empowered to take on challenges and thrive, knowing that you have the tools to deal with difficult situations and achieve the outcomes you desire.
