Testimonials
Activated brings together an incredible group of entrepreneurs and professionals who want to leave a legacy throughout the world. In two trips, I’ve made countless new allies I can reach out to on numerous topics and 6-7 exceptionally close friends.Entrepreneurship can be isolating, but the activated tribe bridges that gap!
It was my first time attending the retreat , it was such a highly curated community, you will think that all of these strangers would not gel so well, but we did , we were all like minded, super passionate , motivated, focused, wanted to give back to the community and we were able to hangout and disconnect for a couple of days. We went boating, we volunteered for an afternoon, we meditated every day, did yoga and fitness classes in the morning on the beach, it was such an incredible experience, so if you are looking to reset, unwind, mastermind with others like minded individuals, this is a retreat for you. Hope to see you next year.
