XVII

At XVII, our mission is simple yet profound: to live a remarkable life and inspire others to do the same. The name XVII (Seventeen) reflects the perfect number of guests for fostering meaningful relationships—small enough for deep, authentic connections, yet diverse enough to spark fresh perspectives. Every conversation matters, and it’s in these intimate gatherings that transformation happens.

The XVII Retreat is a sanctuary for dreamers seeking clarity, balance, and inspiration. Nestled in tranquil nature, it’s a space to disconnect from distractions and reconnect with yourself. Wake up to the sounds of nature, practice yoga beneath the trees, hike forest trails, and unwind by the fire under star-filled skies. With just 17 participants, the retreat offers the intimacy to reflect, grow, and forge authentic connections—both with others and within yourself. This is your time to pause, embrace stillness, and find clarity in the calm.

The idea for XVII was born when Joe and Tamzin met in Africa, in an offline, intimate space surrounded by nature and inspiring individuals. It was in that setting—free from distractions—that their lives and visions transformed. XVII is their way of recreating that magic: a sanctuary where founders, dreamers, and leaders can pause, reflect, and connect deeply with themselves, others, and the natural world.

XVII is more than a retreat; it’s a community. A movement to embrace clarity, purpose, and the beauty of living a remarkable life.
