These are some of the topics that will be covered in both formal workshops and informal chats with other participants and the organisers.

Fundraising & Crowd-Funding

It’s extremely powerful to get a chance to share and run your current challenges with a bunch of entrepreneurs just like you. Every time I do it, breakthroughs happen. Last year was no different. It’s like mentoring on stereoids. Aga

We’ll work hard and have fun. This trip is about you, your business and the experience of a lifetime.
ALL WHILE HAVING THE ADVENTURE OF YOUR LIFE

CLIMB A VOLCaNo

Mount a volcano in Japan with an experienced guide (covered in the event fee!). This is totally safe, in case your mother needs to know.

AUTHENTIC LOCAL EXPERIENCE

Every day in Japan will deliver you new experiences and memories to treasure – it is a weird and wonderful place!

ENJOY activities

Japan is amazing in so many ways you’ll discover while here. Sumo wrestling, tea ceremonies, cooking classes & kimono photoshoots – you’re guaranteed to love it!

EAT INCREDIBLE LOCAL FOOD

Get your taste buds fired up with an authentic Japanese cuisine.

A unique location

Our retreat is happening in a town 3.5hrs train ride north of Tokyo called ‘Iwaki’. We are staying

Iwaki is known for its gorgeous beaches and great waves, rich history and an even richer seafood.

This retreat is a dream waiting to happen!
The experience of hiking the volcano was absolutely life-changing. I will never forget sitting at the edge of the crater and seeing 200m explosions right in front of us. Being able to share that experience with other entrepreneurs made it one of the most memorable experiences in my life. Jenny

    Volcano Retreats

    HAVE QUESTIONS?
    WE HAVE ANSWERS
    Is this strictly for 'entrepreneurs or people with their own businesses'?
    The experience is designed to accelerate and benefit both new and experienced entrepreneurs. We are looking for people who are super ambitious and hungry for growth, but are also wanting to balance work, adventure and play.
    Who is coming?
    We are bringing a highly curated community of badass entrepreneurs. The movers and shakers, the doers and executors who, just like us are on the journey of entrepreneurship. It’s really important for us that this small tight community bring quality people who are hungry to grow and hungry for adventures. Apply!
    Will I have access to stable internet/WIFI?
    Yes. Internet has NOT been an issue at the last two retreats. We have been well covered by: retreat provided mobile WIFI devices at the accomodation, nearby cafe WIFI (5min walk) and everyone having their own data sims (3 or TIM recommended).

    However we cannot fully guarantee WIFI internet 100% of the time and it is not full speed. We have done Skype Audio fine in the past, but not full video). We strongly recommend you have your own data capable device AND reduce your reliance on a constant internet connection for the 7 days (also we recommend you reduce your needs to record podcasts, upload content, have video skype calls). 

    Is travel included?
    Travel is not included to Iwaki itself. You will need to get to Japan (Tokyo recommended) and then get the 3.5hr bullet train (!) to Iwaki.

    For flights we suggest you check out adioso.com, or Google Flights for flights into Tokyo.

    What is the shared accommodation like?
    2x people per room, twin share (you can request to be paired with friends).
    How much does this cost?
    See above for the price layout (Euros)
