Shield Ranch's sleeping shelters offer a much more comfortable alternative to traditional camping. Each shelter includes a real bed, quality linens, and full amenities designed to let you rest well and be present for the work. You'll be immersed in the Central Texas landscape without sacrificing comfort.

This retreat is designed for individual leaders—founders, executive directors, managers, decision-makers—who are ready to align how they lead with what they believe. You don't need to attend as part of a team or organization. The cohort is intentionally composed of leaders from different sectors and contexts, which enriches the peer learning and community throughout the retreat.

Comfortable clothing for both indoor sessions and outdoor experiences, a journal, and an open mind. A full packing list will be sent upon registration.

For guests arriving at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, travel to and from Shield Ranch is included. Detailed shuttle information will be provided upon registration.

Your reservation date is confirmed once we receive your non-refundable deposit of 50% the retreat fee. The remaining balance is due 90 days before the retreat start date. For cancellations prior to this date, deposits are eligible for credit toward a future retreat. If cancellation occurs after this date, a 100% cancellation fee will apply. We strongly encourage all retreat participants to purchase travel insurance to cover personal injury, emergency medical expenses, or other expenses related to unforeseen circumstances.

A completed Inclusive Business Model Canvas for your organization or initiative, a personalized 90-day implementation roadmap, and an ongoing connection with a cohort of peers. The community of practice continues after the retreat, and the wellness practices introduced during the weekend are designed to be integrated into your daily leadership.
