Aligning Teams Around Futures Worth Building
Purpose-Driven Offsites for Leadership Teams
What would change if your entire team could see the same future?
Radical Vision Retreats creates high-impact offsites where executive teams, boards, and remote collaborators move from scattered priorities to collective clarity.
This kind of breakthrough requires more than facilitation.
It requires radical collaboration in a container designed for transformation.
Strategic leadership meets radical participation
What If Your Next Offsite Changed Everything?
Radical Vision Retreats designs experiences that interrupt business-as-usual thinking and invite your team into a different way of being together.
Every retreat is custom-designed to address specific challenges, whether that's a leadership team in need of a new North Star, a board struggling to align on strategy, or a remote workforce that's never experienced what it feels like to be truly connected.
Transform how your team sees the future
Most strategic offsites ask: "What should we do next?"
Radical Vision Retreats ask: "What bold future wants to emerge through us?"
Our work is more than facilitation; it's cultural alchemy. We establish participatory foundations that transform how teams work together long after the retreat ends.
Radical Vision Retreats are experiences where every voice contributes to collective wisdom, hierarchy dissolves into genuine collaboration, and future direction emerges from the collective, rather than the loudest voice in the room.
Teams leave knowing not just what they're doing next quarter, but what audacious future they're building over the long term and why it matters.
Who Our Retreats Are Designed For
-
Mission-Driven Executive Teams
You're building a company that changes the world, not just captures market share. You need your leadership aligned on the transformation you're creating, not just the metrics you're hitting. You're ready for a vision bold enough to match your ambition.
-
Non-Profit Boards & Leadership
You're tackling humanity's toughest challenges and need your board and leadership team thinking at the scale of the problem. Your offsites need to generate more than strategic plans. They need to create a vision audacious enough to attract top talent, major funding, and transformative partnerships.
-
Remote-First Organizations
Your team spans continents and time zones. You've mastered async communication but lost something essential in the process. You need intensive offsite experiences that build the connective tissue remote work erodes and create a culture strong enough to sustain collaboration across distance.
-
Founders & Conscious Entrepreneurs
You're scaling, but refuse to sacrifice your soul in the process. You need your expanding team to understand not just what you do, but the future you're committed to creating and their role in building it.
Cultivating the alignment your mission requires
The Radical Vision Process
1. Discovery & Design (Pre-Retreat)
Every retreat begins with deep listening. The Radical Vision Retreats team studies your organization's dynamics, challenges, and aspirations to design an experience built on deep expertise in what creates breakthrough, tailored to your specific needs.
2. Immersive Retreat Experience (1-3 Days)
We design experiences that pull teams out of their default modes and into new ways of seeing. The retreat combines facilitation that surfaces the wisdom already in the room with activities that build real connection between team members, ultimately creating the shared vision that becomes your strategic foundation.
3. Integration & Momentum (Post-Retreat)
The offsite is the catalyst, not the conclusion. The team helps you translate vision into strategic frameworks, create communication tools for your broader organization, and establish practices that keep vision at the center of daily operations.
4. Optional: Ongoing Partnership
Many clients continue working with Radical Vision Retreats through executive coaching and follow-up offsites to ensure vision guides decision-making as you navigate growth, crisis, and change.

FAQs
-
Traditional strategic offsites focus on goals, tactics, and metrics. Visioning work goes deeper: it's about naming the future you're called to create together, then letting strategy emerge from that clarity. Radical Vision Retreats uses experiential methods that access collective wisdom and create genuine culture change, not just better planning documents.
-
Mission-driven businesses, non-profits, social enterprises, and conscious companies across sectors. The common thread: leadership teams and boards committed to making a positive impact and willing to do the deeper work of aligning around shared purpose.
-
Most offsites are 1-3 days: enough time to break patterns, access breakthrough, and create lasting transformation without excessive time away from operations. Custom durations are designed based on each team's specific needs.
-
Yes. While we recommend full 1-3 day retreats for maximum impact, Radical Vision Retreats can integrate vision work into your existing offsite or facilitate shorter sessions. Keep in mind that abbreviated formats won't generate the same depth of breakthrough and alignment as a fully immersive experience, but they can be a valuable starting point or complement to other retreat activities.
-
We typically work with leadership groups, boards, and core collaborators of 6-20 people. Small enough for genuine dialogue and vulnerability, large enough for diverse perspectives to create emergent wisdom. We're also open to working with larger teams—let's discuss what would work best for your organization.
-
Absolutely, and remote teams often benefit most. The intensive offsite becomes a cultural foundation you can't build through video calls. Participants report that the connection, trust, and shared vision they develop during the retreat fundamentally changes how they collaborate afterward, even across distance. Many organizations follow their initial retreat with periodic offsites that continue deepening culture and alignment.
-
Yes. Boards face unique challenges: limited time together, diverse professional backgrounds, the tension between vision-setting and oversight, and the need to stay strategic without becoming operational. Radical Vision Retreats creates board experiences that address these specific dynamics.
-
The offsite catalyzes transformation, but integration determines lasting impact. Post-retreat support includes translating vision into strategic frameworks, creating communication tools for the broader organization, and establishing practices that keep vision alive in daily operations. Many clients continue with ongoing coaching or periodic offsites.
