Good question. We are a collaborative group that exists to help you host an event, retreat, or corporate gathering that will stay with both you and your attendees forever. Our events focus on six core aspects that, taken together, allow that to happen.

Beautiful, isolated locations: We host experiences in a curated handful of breathtaking, nature-abundant destinations designed to remove distraction and spark clarity.

Challenging activities: Maximum fun — and growth — happens when you challenge yourself. Every VMI retreat includes either skiing/snowboarding, surfing, or mountain biking/hiking. We tailor experiences for all levels, from total beginners to seasoned pros.

Affordability: We partner with local hospitality providers to secure exceptional value — often leveraging off-peak inventory. Every proposal includes lodging, food, transport, and activities so there’s no surprise at the end.

Mind-blowing food: VMI was founded partly as an excuse to cook together. We bring in exceptional chefs and source ingredients locally to ensure every meal reflects the culture and becomes part of the experience. Food is fuel, and you’ll need the absolute best fuel for these days.

Deep Work: Removed from digital noise, well-fed, well-rested, and fresh off powder runs or glassy waves — this is when real thinking happens. We create the space for meaningful strategy, connection, and breakthrough conversations. We are content-agnostic, but we have experienced facilitators that can work with you to take the impact you want to have with your event and convert that into a meaningful structure that will keep the participants talking about it for years.

Small groups: Connection doesn’t scale infinitely. Our retreats are intentionally intimate (typically under 20 guests) to preserve resonance, dialogue, and shared experience.
