The Three Days

Each day follows the same rhythm: a focused morning workshop, then an afternoon activity that matches the energy of the day.

Arrival — Friday, July 4

Settle In

Everyone arrives and gets settled at the villa. No agenda, just relax.

Day One — Saturday, July 5

Chill & Bonding

Ease in, get honest, build trust. No hard decisions — just real conversation.

☀️

9:00 – 12:30 — Morning Workshop

Team alignment session. Each person shares where they're at, what's going well, and what they're building toward. Setting the foundation for the days ahead.

At the villa or a nearby spot in Menton's old town.

🏖️
Beach Club
Book a section at a beach club on the Promenade du Soleil or Plage des Sablettes. Swim in the Mediterranean, order food and drinks, no agenda.

Adventure

Tackle the big questions in the morning, then do something that gets the heart pumping.

🥾
Coastal Hiking
The Sentier du Littoral from Roquebrune-Cap-Martin to Monaco, or a hike up to Sainte-Agnès, the highest coastal village in Europe. Physical, challenging, incredible views of the Mediterranean and the Italian border.
