SANCTUM

All-Inclusive Leadership Development Retreat in Aspen

A purpose-built leadership development retreat for senior executives seeking expanded clarity, capacity, and impact, supported by a circle of peers. In ancient Greece, politicians, philosophers, and scientists pilgrimaged to drink the Kykeon, a psychedelic brew at the Temple of Delphi. From this emerged the greatest expansion of human consciousness in history: democracy, philosophy, and the atomic structure of the universe. These were not wellness retreats—they were catalysts for leadership and civilization. At SANCTUM, you will continue this tradition. The retreat uses THE COURAGE METHOD™, a framework that integrates executive coaching, psychotherapy, somatic practice, and nature-based work. You’ll arrive Friday for connection and recalibration with your cohort. On Saturday, you’ll participate in a guided low-dose ceremony with continuous facilitator support. Sunday focuses on integration, strategic clarity, and defining concrete actions to carry forward into your leadership. Groups are intentionally small (up to 12), composed of leaders whose decisions shape organizations, policy, and culture. At SANCTUM, that peer dynamic is central to the experience, not incidental You’ll stay in a private suite at Aspen Meadows Resort on the Aspen Institute campus, with airport transfers included both ways. Skippy Mesirow, SANCTUM’s founder, leads the retreat. Before and after the in-person experience, you’ll complete a self-guided preparation process and receive integration tools, including SANCTUM’s Personal Arete Protocol.
