Lessons from the Blue Zones

In Okinawa, Sardinia, and Ikaria, people forget to die. These 'Blue Zones' are home to the highest concentration of centenarians. What is their secret? It isn't supplements or gym memberships.

Ikigai and Moai

Two concepts stand out. 'Ikigai' — a reason for being. Knowing why you wake up in the morning adds years to your life. 'Moai' — a dedicated social circle that supports you from childhood to death. Loneliness is as deadly as smoking.

We incorporate these principles into our retreats. We eat a plant-slant diet, we move naturally (walking, not treadmill running), and most importantly, we foster deep community connection. We can't promise you'll live to 100, but we can show you how to live like you will.
