Savi Sojourns · Notes · 05
A wellness retreat for entrepreneurs that takes the business as seriously as the body
Wellness retreats fix the person and send them back to the business that broke them. Business retreats fix the plan and ignore the person carrying it. Sojourns does both, in the same house, for a month.
Why the two have to go together
For an owner, the business is the stressor and the body is the asset. Fix one and the other undoes it within a fortnight. A week of yoga does not survive a Monday of payroll, and a sharper strategy does not help if you are too tired to run it. The only version that holds is the one where both change at the same time, in the same place, with the same people watching.
The wellbeing side, specifically
- Savi's holistic and mental wellbeing coach stays the whole month and works with you one to one. Holistic here means the whole person, sleep, stress, routines and the head, not crystals.
- Mornings are breathwork, yoga, mobility or a swim in the sea, led by a wellness facilitator. Optional, and scaled to you.
- A chef cooks every day. Real food at one long table, not a juice fast.
- The month is alcohol-free, in the house and out of it, which is the single biggest thing you can do for sleep. See why a sober business retreat works.
The business side, specifically
- Three business mentors, one a week, who have scaled, sold and invested. An evening off the record, a workshop, one to one, dinner.
- Twice a week the group works one real problem from one business, with the numbers on the table.
- You arrive with your numbers and one goal and leave with a 90-day plan. See the founder retreat note.
- Your business keeps running from a desk in the house. See running your business from the retreat.
What a month does that a week can't
Habits do not form in a week; they form in the third week, when the novelty has gone and you are training in the morning because that is what the house does, not because you decided to. Sleep settles. The group stops performing. The mentors have seen enough of your business to be useful rather than polite. None of that is available on a Friday-to-Sunday.
What it isn't
Not a detox, not a spa, not silent, not spiritual. There are no ceremonies and nobody will ask you to set an intention. It is practical and plain, run by people who have spent twenty years in hospitality and a year and a half running an alcohol-free house that stays full.
