Retreat FAQ
Destineering – er, what it is it...exactly?
Destineering is about taking a fresh look at your life and focusing on what it is you really want to do with it – exploring how you can build on your talents and passions to pursue a strong and meaningful sense of purpose.
We provide you with the opportunity to merge a vacation of a lifetime with life coaching to actually transform your life. Our award winning coaches guide you through a transformative experience then give you the chance to reflect and make the most out of the stunning venues.
So what sorts of things will we be doing?
Lots of thought-provoking exercises to get your creative juices flowing. A lot of which will be done outdoors – taking advantage of the scenery and activities that the venue has to offer. You'll also be hearing from our Inspirers. We believe people inspire people, so we've found some people who have done pretty amazing things with their lives. You'll hear some of their stories on film and some you'll get to meet firsthand as hear their story as they join in the day's activity. Check out our retreat itinerary for fuller details.
Who else will be there?
Our retreat guests come from a variety of different backgrounds. They've usually got one thing in common however: they've been highly successful in their chosen field to date but just want to spend some time thinking through 'what next'. We have entrepreneurs, people who are thinking about switching careers and doing something different and people who just want to think more creatively about their future. Retreat guests say that a big part of the learning experience is hearing and interacting with other retreat guests.
Is it a seminar... a conference... a workshop?
Er no, none of these. In fact we steer away from it seeming like any kind of corporate meeting experience. We want our retreat guests to feel like they are on vacation and continually being thought-provoked and inspired. So where possible we do a lot of work outside, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the activities the region has to offer.
Will I get any personal coaching?
Absolutely. Later in the week you get the chance to reflect on all you've heard and learned about yourself and receive personal 1:1 coaching. You also get the opportunity to continue to receive personal coaching after the retreat, at a special rate for Destineering Retreat Guests.
It's not going to be all airy fairy is it?
Life coaching takes on many forms. The Destineering Experience merges creative thinking with a barrage of thought-provoking inspiration. While we don't knock other approaches, let's just say you shouldn't find yourself doing anything that seems weird.

Are we going to be doing anything strenuous?
We invite you to join us in various activities and we let you know the level of fitness involved. There are always other options if you don't want to join in a particular activity.
Is it for singles or couples?
Both. We welcome groups of friends, singles, couples, family members...so if you are coming with people that know you well – that's great, but we encourage you to be very focused on you and what it is you want. So in exercises and activities that are all around personal exploration, we encourage you to mix with people that don't know you for the fresh perspective.
