We deeply regret to announce the cancellation of The Journey Beyond Fear Retreat at Canyon Ranch Woodside.
In a sudden turn of events, the Woodside property is undergoing a change in management, and Canyon Ranch will no longer be operating the location after October 20, 2025.
All registered participants will be fully refunded.
The Center for Growth will continue with its planned rollout of new online and in-person programming and keep you posted on the possibility of a destination retreat in 2026.
The framework for the Journey is based on The 3 Pillars described in John Hagel's book, "The Journey Beyond Fear."
The discussions and exploratory exercises aim to elicit new insights on ourselves and others, stretch our perception of the possible, foster connection with other participants, and facilitate concrete action.
Total participation is capped at 30 individuals in order to create a safe, intimate space for authentic connection.
John Hagel has spent his long career advising leaders around the world on how to discover new opportunities in a rapidly changing context with new technology, growing uncertainty, and geopolitical disruption.
