UNPLUG from distractions to reimagine work and life with an UNBOUND mind.
A TRACKING WONDER Retreat & Training for leaders, entrepreneurs, & other change-makers
June 28-July 2, 2025 | The Poconos Mountains
✓ Unplugged Mindfulness
✓ Deep Connection
✓ Advance Your Vision
Age of Distraction
Being constantly plugged in can knock you off track from pursuing a bold vision, business idea, or creative endeavor that lights you up.
Daily digital demands and social isolation can frazzle your focus, exhaust your energy, and stamp out hope.
You likely sense a better way to work & live with a connection to what brings you purpose, meaning, and joy.
That connection is wonder, the source of possibility and innovation.
Yet, the fact is, many of us have fully plugged-in lives that lead to collective distress.
151
average number of times Americans check their phone each day.
88%
of Americans say they get anxious without their phone.
76%
of Americans sleep with their phones.
Imagine having:
Several spacious days to unplug mindfully, envision a better future, innovate your business or creative ideas, and gain perspective from a veteran strategist and other whole-hearted change-makers. In nature!
UNPLUGGED + UNBOUND offers a safe+brave container to incubate and innovate our visions. Together.
Truly transformational event
“Jeffrey brought his full self and his excellent skills as a facilitator of wonder and curator of alchemy to bear for the U+U retreat. The sense of safety we created in our collective container coupled with spacious exploration of ourselves and the work that we do allowed for some MAJOR shifts to happen for me! It was a truly transformational event I’m so glad I attended this.”

Our Sacred Creative Partnership with Nature
Several years ago, I noticed my mind had changed in frightening ways.
I had taken a solo deep dive retreat to advance a complex endeavor. But on the first day, I couldn’t concentrate, and I couldn’t stay off of the Internet. For the previous five years, I had transferred much of my business to the online sphere. Without realizing it, my mind had become fully plugged in, addicted to the dopamine hits of email and social media. My mind felt held captive and binded to an invisible cell.
I could no longer think, imagine, or create as freely as I once could.
I also had to take stock of my soul. I had become more irritable, short-fused, and anxious.
I realized I wasn’t the only one suffering.
After that experience, I shifted much of my applied research toward two questions: 1) How has increased digital fixation harmed our cognition, creativity, relationships, and well-being? and 2) How can experiences in nature, mindfulness, and collaboration restore our calm spirits, make us feel alive again, and boost our ability to generate new, useful, and beautiful ideas?
I’ve since re-discovered something I have known all along and you probably have, too: We human beings are part and parcel of nature. When we thoughtfully experience natural surroundings, our minds become unbound and expansive.
Without hugging trees (although I’ve been known to do so without apology), we can experience this fact that scientists worldwide are catching onto.

Your Retreat Experience
UNPLUGGED + UNBOUND weaves an ideal mix of guided wonder walks in nature, facilitated sessions in innovation & collaboration, Office Hours with Jeffrey, and solo time to wonder, work, or hang out with new friends.
Day 1: Invite Wonder
Gather to connect, attune and prepare to be UNPLUGGED + UNBOUND. You will come away clear on your intentions as well as invigorated with newfound peers. First session is at 7pm ET. Arrival at 3pm ET. Appetizers at 5:30pm ET and dinner at 6 pm ET.
Day 2: Live the Question
This day is all about unplugging from devices, unwinding the sympathetic nervous system, and untethering our attention from the digital world. An evidence-based Vision Wonder Walk will expand your ways of seeing the near-future possibilities for your work, life, and endeavor. The afternoon culminates in a surprising collaborative exercise where we discover our common ground. “Truly awe-inspiring” is how participants have described this day.
Day 3: Track a Problem
“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I would spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about the solution.” – Albert Einstein
Tracking a problem for your business, endeavor, or life likely has never been as wondrous as our method proves to be. With innovative practices, solo time, and round robin feedback sessions, you will close the day energized with fresh perspectives and renewed energy on the problem you are called to seek solutions to.
Day 4: Solutions & Possibilities
A generative, collaborative What If? Session will generate for you ample opportunities plus a wise way to discern which opportunity you want to pursue and break down into actionable steps. After solo time and optional Office Hour sessions with Jeffrey, we close the day with our signature Dolphin Tanks presentations. A special post-dinner evening ceremony and conversation around a campfire closes the day.
Day 5: The Return
On our last morning, we assimilate our learnings and custom best practices for transitioning home as well as create actionable road maps the coming months with Spacious Pacing. The last session wraps up at noon ET with optional lunch afterward.
I am grateful for the significant shifts in perspective…
“Because Jeffrey curated a dynamic, generous group of participants prior to the retreat, it was easy to focus on the tasks and challenges presented. Using innovative techniques for collaborative and solo processes, Jeffrey guided us toward insights that in my case, were unexpected, welcome and essential. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jeffrey in the company of this group; I felt supported to contribute, and receptive to feedback. I had so much fun! As I transition back to my life, I am grateful for the significant shifts in perspective this experience facilitated that I had struggled to come to on my own.”
