“First say to yourself what you would be, and then do what you have to do.”

Epictetus

Welcome to The Odyssey of Intent

Seven days on a Greek island. Six months to make what you find real.

For Aristotle, eudaimonia, the good life, wasn’t a reward for success. It was the point of it.

The Odyssey of Intent is for accomplished professionals who have achieved a great deal, sense that a new chapter is approaching, and aren’t yet clear what it should be. It isn’t self-help, and nothing about you needs fixing. It’s a deliberate pause to look again at your life and decide what comes next.

It comes in two parts:

01 – The Island Odyssey
Seven days in a mountain villa on Aegina, forty minutes from Athens. A small group, coaching, philosophy, adventure, long meals and enough empty space for unexpected things to happen.
02 – The Next Chapter
Optional six months of one-to-one and small-group coaching, so that what you discover on the island survives contact with Monday morning.

Step away from the demands of work and make room for the questions that rarely survive a crowded diary: What do I want to build now? What am I no longer willing to sacrifice? What would make the next chapter genuinely worthwhile?

You won’t leave with a five-year plan. You’ll leave with a personal compass, a handful of experiments to try, and a much clearer idea of which direction to walk.

Led by Aaron, with Manos and Virginie as your hosts.

Book a discovery call and let’s explore what a Good Life truly means to you.

Testimonials

“I had no idea where the odyssey of intent would lead me but right now i can say it was one of the most impactful weeks of my life. It started right from the moment i saw the place and met the facilitators. They were open, authentic and pure and i felt that immediately.. This retreat is full of surprises and turns you around and around and around. I found some profound beauty in showing my vulnerability and opening my heart to strangers. i fell in love with every one of them and with humanity as a whole. It was just beautiful. Right now I’m so full of energy and feel so motivated and before i was quite lost. I was 22 years in the banking industry…now i know exactly what i have to do.“

“Thank you all for such an incredible experience. It was amazing, authentic, creative, beautiful and completely unforgettable. It’s the very best retreat I’ve been on by a country mile in terms of the quality of ‘experiences’.”

“The location was superb. with plenty of communal spaces to be able to spread out, and feel comfortable. About the food, well, no further comments because what’s to be said when every meal is a masterpiece? That Aphrodite (the cook) is a 21st century cooking goddess.”

“It was a real adventure… I felt like i was doing some deep work which was necessary but also having a heck of a lot of fun.”

“It was weird… I signed up for it immediately having not been on a retreat before and not knowing what to expect and not really knowing what outcome i wanted but an adventurous path leading to a good life really appealed to me.”
“The facilitators were expressing there own authenticity and sometimes it was a bit maverick and that made it interesting and real and a lot more accessible and `i’m delighted i came here and i wish i could do it all again.”
