Scotland

Some things need distance to become visible.

What happens when you get to step away from your role?

You get an off-grid, off-script experience designed for deeper dialogue, meaningful connection, and the space and tools to imagine what comes next.

This is not a pause from your work.
It is a confrontation with what your work is for.

You will spend time in the kind of silence that is increasingly hard to find. You will eat at a shared table with people who will challenge and change how you think. You will walk in landscapes that have outlasted every institution you have ever worked for. And you will be asked gently yet persistently about what you are actually building, and why.

We partner with WildLand who are custodians of 220,000 acres of Scottish Highland, guided by a 200-year vision of landscape-scale regeneration. It’s a landscape that has been tended across centuries and has things to say about resilience, patience, and what it means to build something that outlasts you. This is not our venue. This is our teacher.

You will leave with something more durable than a tool or a framework. You will leave with a different way of seeing. If you are a leader who is ready to be genuinely changed by what you encounter and not just refreshed by it, you’ve found your people.

“Nature doesn't just need to be the subject of my work; it can also be the model for how I lead and how I build a business. That shift in perspective is one I'll carry for a long time.”

Expedition 2026 Cohort

JOIN THE 2027 COHORT

Dates: April 20-23, 2027
This year, Earth Day asks us to consider Food for Our Planet. We think that question goes further than what we put on our plates. What are we feeding through the organisations we lead? What are we taking from the world? And what are we giving back? How do we build a business that lasts?

This is not another conversation about saving the planet. It’s a conversation about our place within it.

DAY 01: ARRIVE
Step away from the expected
Travel north from Inverness into the Highlands. Meet the people you'll spend the next few days with and eat local food prepared by a personal chef.

DAY 02: NOTICE
Move through the landscape
Look closely at the systems around you: ecological, organisational and personal. What might they teach us about adaptation, resilience and how we might build our life and work for the future?

DAY 03: QUESTION
Go further and deeper
Walk, talk, swim, and ride. And then interrogate assumptions you've held in order to imagine alternatives.

DAY 04: LAND
Decide what deserves to come back with you
This isn’t a list of 10 new things to do. It’s having a focus on what matters enough to do at all.

INVESTMENT: €4000
Includes 3-nights of private accommodation, 4 days access to protected Scottish land with a personal guide, personal chef and all food and drink, transport to and from Inverness airport, access to saunas and e-bikes, and conversations that can only happen in the wild.

Deposit for attendees due at acceptance: €1200
Remainder due by January 31: €2800
Travel to Inverness is not included.
