RETREATS
Three retreats. Still Point, a solo residency for leaders who need quiet. The Bearing, a curated cohort of founders, funders, and operators recalibrating together. Highland, a four-day expedition for leadership teams that need to be tested. All device-free. All built on the Root Astrolabe Method. The right one is the one that meets you where you are.
THE SPECTRUM
STILLNESS

Solo residency. No group. No agenda. Just quiet. Strategic rest, contemplation, and deep listening for leaders who need to stop before they can see clearly again.

THE JOURNEY
Our retreats aren't isolated events. They're a progression. Many leaders begin with Still Point to find clarity, move to The Bearing to test it against real decisions, and graduate to Highland to lead their teams through shared challenge. The Root Astrolabe Method threads through all three, so each experience deepens the last.
Still Point → The Bearing → Highland. From restoration to integration to transformation. You can enter at any point, but many find the full arc is where the deepest change happens.

Start a ConversationStill Point is a solo residency (3 to 5 days, one person, no agenda) for leaders who need complete quiet. The Bearing is a curated cohort of 8 to 10 leaders over 3.5 days plus a 90-day return, focused on strategic clarity. Highland is a 4-day team expedition for 6 to 10 people combining physical challenge with leadership realignment.
Retreats range from 3 to 5 days depending on the experience. Still Point is 3 to 5 days. The Bearing is 3.5 days on-site plus a 90-day return weekend. Highland is 4 days. All retreats include pre-work beginning 2 to 4 weeks before arrival.
No. All Root Astro retreats are fully device-free. You surrender your phone, laptop, and smartwatch upon arrival. Emergency contact protocols are in place so your family and team can reach you if needed. The device surrender is not a suggestion; it is the foundation of the experience.
It depends on the retreat. Still Point has no physical demands. The Bearing requires moderate fitness for outdoor walks and activities. Highland requires moderate-to-high fitness as it includes sustained outdoor challenge as a team. Specific preparation guidance is provided after enrollment.
If you need complete rest and silence, choose Still Point. If you want strategic clarity and a peer cohort, choose The Bearing. If you are bringing a leadership team that needs realignment through shared challenge, choose Highland. Contact us and we will help you decide.
