One-day future redesign retreat
 

New Year · In-Person Experience · AWESOME Framework

You’ve Reflected. Now You Redesign.

A one-day, in-person reset to deliberately architect the year you are already living into.

The questions have been asked. The patterns have been seen. You already know what cannot continue as it was.

This retreat exists for the moment most people skip — the moment where insight becomes structure, intention becomes design, and the new year stops being theoretical.

Not inspiration. Not resolutions. A guided, human reset — before momentum hardens into another year by default.

How We Work Together

Design. Build. Anticipate.

D

Design

Design meaningful a work, life and career that honours your values, your story, and your future self — not just your job title.

B

Build

Build a future you can trust — with simple, proven systems that turn ideas into income, impact, and real-life options.

A

Anticipate

Anticipate what’s next — so you’re not reacting to change, you’re reading the signals, reshaping your systems, and leading it.

This Is the Moment Most People Skip

Life. Career. Business. Finally Seen as One System.

Real change doesn’t come from trying harder or planning more. It comes from seeing clearly — at the exact moment where another year could quietly lock itself into place.

A Guided Crossing
 
 

Looking Back

You Face the Story You’ve Been Outrunning

Not to dwell. Not to blame. But to finally see how your past decisions — smart and accidental — shaped the life you’re now responsible for.

 

Right Now

You Notice What Has Quietly Drifted Out of Alignment

Energy. Work. Direction. Time. You see where effort has replaced intention — and why progress has felt heavier than it should.

 

What’s Next

You Step Into a Future That Already Feels Familiar

Not imagined. Not hoped for. But designed — as a lived memory supported by systems you can actually sustain.

You Want Clarity, Confidence & Purpose.

Not as slogans — but as something you can actually feel in your body when you wake up in the morning.

What’s Really Going On

• Clarity   • Confidence   • Purpose

On paper, things may be fine.

But underneath, there’s a quiet sense that you’re living from momentum — not intention.

If nothing changes, the next year won’t be disastrous.
It will simply be familiar.

Same pace. Same pressures. Same questions quietly postponed.

This experience exists to interrupt that pattern — not with motivation, but with design.

What to Expect

Imagine stepping out of the noise — and into a day that finally makes sense of where you are and where you’re going.

The Day, By Design

You arrive carrying questions you’ve been postponing.
You leave with a direction that feels calm, clear — and unmistakably yours.

Shared Presence

A deliberately small group. No networking rituals. Just thoughtful people thinking well — together.

Guided Studios

Structured reflection, dialogue, and design. You won’t be told what to do — you’ll see what’s true.

Design in Action

Time, energy, money, identity, and AI — organised to support the person you’re becoming, not exhaust you.

The Experience

A One-Day Journey
Designed From the Inside Out

This is not a timetable. It’s a carefully sequenced experience — moving from reflection, to design, to direction — so you leave with a future you can actually step into.

Opening Circle

Before You Leap™ — Asking the Right Questions

Led by Dr Nasiru Taura, the day begins by slowing down. Using the AWESOME Framework as a guiding rhythm, we surface the questions most people avoid — around aspiration, worth, identity, time, and direction.

Outcome: Clarity — not with goals, but with honesty.
Arrival Refreshments · Settling In

Neuroscience & Future Cognition

Why Resolutions Fail — and What the Brain Needs Instead

With Imane Wild, PhD, we translate insight into biology — exploring prospective thinking, future memory, and how the brain anticipates change. This is where intention becomes believable, and planning becomes kinder, smarter, and more sustainable.

Outcome: Clarity deepens — your future becomes psychologically possible.

Financial Foundations

Organising Wealth for the Life You’re Designing

In back-to-back sessions with Dr Lennox Henry and James Pritchett, we move from vision to structure — exploring money, security, later-life thinking, and decisions that support freedom rather than anxiety.

Outcome: Confidence — your future stops feeling financially foggy.
Mid-Morning Refreshments

Narrative & Identity

Designing the Story You’re Stepping Into

With Dr Adama Ndjol Kouyaté (virtual) and Oluyemi Omitola, you’ll explore storytelling, identity, and personal brand — not as performance, but as coherence. This is where future direction becomes communicable and believable.

Outcome: Confidence — you can name your direction without shrinking.
Buffet Lunch · Informal Conversations · Integration

Play & Possibility

Passion, Play & Purpose

John Spencer Williams and Lucy Taylor close the experiential arc — using play, creativity, and imagination to help you reconnect with what energises you, and how it might evolve into meaningful work.

Outcome: Purpose — your future feels worth building, not just “achievable.”
Afternoon Coffee Break

Your 2026 Roadmap

You leave with a grounded, human roadmap — not a list of resolutions, but a coherent design for how life, work, money, and meaning fit together as you step into the year ahead.

The Experience

A One-Day Journey
Designed From the Inside Out

This is not a timetable. It’s a deliberately sequenced experience — moving from inner clarity, to grounded confidence, to future-facing purpose.

Opening Circle · Clarity

Before You Leap™ — Asking the Right Questions

Led by Dr Nasiru Taura, the day begins by slowing everything down. Using the AWESOME Framework, we surface the questions most people postpone — around aspiration, worth, identity, time, and direction.

Alongside this, Imane Wild brings a neuroscience and prospective psychology lens — helping you understand how the brain anticipates the future, why certain patterns repeat, and how future-consciousness can be designed rather than hoped for.

This is where clarity begins — not with goals, but with awareness.

Organising Wealth for the Life You’re Designing

Hotel Details

 

Paradise awaits — but quietly

Not just a venue. A container. Waterfront calm, warm light, and enough elegance to help your nervous system exhale — so your future thinking can finally speak.

The Setting
Waterfront location
Spa + pool for reset
Dining on-site
5 mins from the Port

Why this place works

A Harbour for Reflection

Nestled on Southampton’s waterfront, this hotel gives you that rare combination: city access without city noise. It’s close enough to everything — and quiet enough for deeper thinking.

“A good setting doesn’t push you. It holds you — until you can hear yourself again.”

What supports your reset

Spa. Swim. Steakhouse. The essentials — done well.

 

Rena Spa with ISHGA treatments — a deliberately restorative add-on if you want to arrive even calmer.

 

A 15m heated indoor pool, plus sauna and steam room for a nervous-system reset.

 

On-site dining at Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill and the hotel bar — perfect for post-session conversations.

In short: comfort, calm, and convenience — without distraction.

You’ll feel it the moment you arrive: this is a place that makes it easier to slow down — and see further.

What’s Included

A Fully Held Day

  • Day Delegate Rate
  • 10 – 50 people (intentionally small, curated group)
  • Meeting room hire (premium setting with screen & projection)
  • Arrival Refreshment (ease into the day)
  • Mid Morning Refreshment (energy and focus sustained)
  • Lunch (space to integrate, reflect, and connect)
  • Afternoon Coffee Break (reset before the final session)

Everything you need to stay present, nourished, and engaged — without having to think about logistics.

Your Choice, Your Pace

  • Accommodation (optional — book directly if staying over)
  • Evening meals (left open for rest, reflection, or personal plans)
  • Travel (arrive in a way that suits your schedule)

Frequently Asked Questions

Early Booking Bonuses

Early booking isn’t about urgency. It’s about getting real value before the day begins. These bonuses turn your ticket into a pre-retreat practice — so you walk in clearer, lighter, and ready to use every session.

A

Arrival Clarity Pack

A short set of guided prompts (10–15 mins) to surface your real questions — what you want, what you’ve outgrown, and what must change first.

Outcome: you arrive with your “why” on paper — not trapped in your head.

W

Worth & Boundaries Toolkit

A practical mini-guide to protect time, energy, and attention — with scripts, boundary phrases, and a “non-negotiables” map you can use immediately.

Outcome: your 2026 stops being built on exhaustion and people-pleasing.

E

Future Memory Starter
