FOR EO, YPO, WPO & LEADERSHIP GROUPS

Give your group a unique experience they'll talk about for months.

You want to take your people somewhere deep, real, and genuinely fun, without it ever feeling forced or strange. That's the hard part... and it's what I do best. Breathwork, ice, honest connection, and a live song made from your group's own words. Nothing like anything they've done before.

WHAT GETS IN THE WAY

Everyone in the room looks like they have it together. That's the problem.

The usual formats only go so deep. Strategy sessions, trust exercises, and inspirational talks, where people stay polite, stay performing, and stay disconnected from themselves and each other.

High-achievers are experts at holding it together. Push harder and they harden, they're used to force. So the harder a session pushes, the more they armour up.

WHY THIS WORKS

People open up faster than they expect, and enjoy every minute.

So I don't push. I make the room safe enough that people choose to put their mask down, slow down, and say what's actually true for them. Often things they wouldn't risk saying anywhere else.

Breathwork helps everyone drop below the noise, and the ice baths connect people to their bodies and their courage. People write what's real for them, and I turn their own words into a song, right there in the room. It's like wiping the dirt off the mirror. Suddenly they see themselves clearly, and it's beautiful. It's an experience most people have never had before.

No agendas. No performance required. A release, real connection, and often a forever song that keeps working long after the event.

FOR YOUR GROUP OR FORUM

Experiences designed for leaders who are ready to go deeper.

KEYNOTE & LIVE SONG

Open or close your event

A keynote that actually lands, then a song built live from the room. The high note people remember.

HALF OR FULL DAY

A workshop that goes deep

Breathwork, honest sharing, and each person's words turned into song. Your group goes somewhere real together, fast.

MULTI-DAY RETREAT

The full journey

Breathwork, ice, songwriting and connection, designed end to end so the whole experience is handled.

I run the flow from start to finish, so you get to be a participant, not a project manager. It is safe enough that the sceptics lean in, and unlike anything your group has sat through before.

Don't take my word for it.

"Nathan hosted our EO forum retreat at Planet Xancara. After a few calls we agreed the flow, and he managed everything from beginning to end with ease and confidence. The breathwork, ice baths and songwriting workshop were hugely transformative and eye-opening. We left feeling lighter, focused and restored. Nathan is an incredibly gifted musician and facilitator, with a skill set unlike any other I've come across."
Shilpa Mehta, EO Retreat Organiser
"It's hard to find a group experience that genuinely opens people up and goes beyond the surface. I've been in EO for eight years and experienced many retreats. He turns your words into a song, live, in front of the group, every person's completely different. Watching Nathan work, there's only one word: awe."
Rebecca Stürmer, Truth Serum Coach, EO Cape Town
"The breathwork, ice bath and workshop on our retreat were incredible. The highlight was the songwriting workshop. I haven't felt that creative in 30 years. I love my song. It'll be a memory I live with for the rest of my life, and I don't say that lightly."
David Seinker, CEO, Game Changers
"An unforgettable workshop for our intimate group. He helped us connect with music in a deeply personal way, and with his guidance we each wrote our own songs. Then he sang them back to us, bringing them to life. It left a lasting impression on all of us."
Anton Gillis, EO Cape Town
"Nathan facilitated an amazing retreat of mindful practices. Sharing his personal journey allowed us to open up, and the absolute highlight was the songwriting workshop. I'd highly recommend Nathan for any leadership or retreat breakaway."
Jason Bagley, Founder, Growth Experts
"I joined one of Nathan's workshops and it honestly blew me away. Breathwork, cold immersion, and his songwriting, where he helped us write our own song from our experience. He genuinely cared about helping our group work through whatever they're carrying, and hearing him play guitar and sing, tailored to where we were in the moment, made it so personal. I've already started planning another workshop with him for my family and close friends."
Garnett, EO
