Designed for Your Team, Anywhere

Our seminars and retreats are fully customizable experiences that bring together the best of Compound Initiatives’ training, guided experiences, and global outreach methods. Whether you’re an executive team, a military command element, a nonprofit staff, or a creative collective, we design immersive retreats that strengthen resilience, spark innovation, and align groups around shared purpose.

These gatherings can be hosted domestically or internationally, scaled for small groups or large organizations, and infused with any of our product lines — from survival skills to creative muse sessions.

What Makes Our Retreats Different

1) Tailored to Any Audience

Executives & Leadership Teams → Align strategy, manage stress, and develop adaptive leadership skills.

Active Duty / Embassy Teams → Practice mission-critical communication and team cohesion under stress.

Athletes & Sports Teams → Off-season resilience, recovery, and team dynamics.

Creatives → Writers, filmmakers, artists: retreats designed to unlock imagination and produce breakthrough work.

2) Global Destinations (2026 Onward)

Cape Cod, MA (USA) — Coastal retreats blending wilderness medicine, creative immersion, and leadership reset.

North Carolina (USA) — Appalachian backcountry experiences with mobility, endurance, and strategy focus.

Thailand — Cultural knowledge exchange with austere training and creative renewal.

Kenya — Safari-integrated retreats emphasizing conservation, mobility, and leadership.

South Africa — Team-building and scenario-driven resilience in diverse terrains.

Pop-up events are also announced throughout the year.

3) Modular, Build-Your-Own Format

Any of our offerings can be integrated into a retreat package:

Medical & Survival Skills (Stop the Bleed, wilderness medicine, high-angle rescue)

Leadership & Team Cohesion (adaptive leadership, communication under stress, AAR culture)

Creative Spark (guided muse sessions, nature-based problem-solving, improv-based innovation)

Wellness & Recovery (forest bathing, yoga, resilience practices, mental fitness)

Result: no two retreats are the same — they’re built for your context, goals, and grit level.
