Primal Elements Retreat for Unconventional Leaders
Primal Elements Retreat for Leaders
Accept the Challenge of the Adventure Within
This offering was created for a small, intimate group of leaders.
Many unconventional leaders have a lot going on in their personal and work endeavours. Most of them become very stressed and feel drained physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Taking a step back and coming to The Land to experience the offerings within this retreat can help them to restore their wellbeing and solve challenges that are sometimes really hard to tackle using only one's intellect.
What I've noticed is that entrepreneurs often create businesses and then try to fit their lifestyle into their full schedules, and it doesn't work. Where is the time for self-care and wellbeing within that? What is really needed is to create time to slow down and ask important questions, such as:
"Who do I need to BE, to..."
- ...be an effective leader?
- ...create the next level of growth?
- ...make a difference for other human beings?
- ...improve my relationships with the most important people in my life?
- ...be more playful?
- ...live the most joyful life I can live?

Before, life felt like a never-ending cycle, much like the movie "Groundhog Day." I found myself stuck in repetitive patterns, caught in a loop of my own making. My thoughts were linear, and despite being aware of various healing modalities and practices, I struggled to embody them fully. My biggest challenge was my tendency to overthink, overdo, and overconsume – constantly overstimulating my mind while remaining disconnected from my true self.
I tried countless approaches to break free from this cycle. I immersed myself in sauna sessions, cold plunges, podcasts, books, and videos. I sought guidance from a myriad of coaches – business, physical, relationship, leadership, and public speaking coaches. Yet, despite all these efforts, I couldn't break through to my authentic self without the use of plant medicine. It felt like something was always missing, an elusive key that I couldn't quite grasp.
But then, Genya came into my life, and everything began to shift.
Now, I find myself with a new mind and a completely different perspective. I’ve started to let go of old identities and archetypes that no longer serve me. I am restructuring my foundational beliefs, reorganizing my priorities, and changing my energy in ways I never thought possible. It has been an incredible journey – one where I’ve learned to slow down, quiet my overstimulated mind, and expand my heart.
The tiny insights Genya helped me uncover have made the biggest difference. I’ve become more mindful, more aware of space consciousness, and I now ask myself better questions. I’ve learned that surrendering is not only possible but also incredibly liberating. The man I was before has given way to a new version of myself—one who views life with a fresh perspective, grounded in heart-centered awareness.
Genya's wisdom, compassion, and guidance have been instrumental in my transformation. I am eternally grateful for the space he's held for me, the insights he's shared, and the new path he's helped me forge. I thank him for being the catalyst for my growth and helping me become the man I am today.
With deep appreciation, love, and gratitude,
Alex Wolfe

Before working with Genya, I struggled with the challenges of burnout as a Lawyer in a world that places great emphasis on money and financial success. I was afraid to embark on a new life direction from within those parameters.
Genya gently made me look at my discomfort in a unique way with a different perspective. I always walked away from a session with a beautiful acceptance and appreciation. Each session ended with a new idea, a new goal, and a sense of deep connection. He saw the seed of inspiration in me and encouraged me to bring it to the surface and allow it to blossom in a way that was authentic, true, and natural. He called to it in such a way that I just knew it had to grow, because my higher self had been reached, heard, and understood.
Genya's support and coaching gave me the courage to take the leap and create my other business. His perspective always nudged me to go one step further and showcase my uniqueness. He pushed me to take action, to stop making excuses, and to establish a business for the world to see. Genya didn’t allow me to just talk the talk, he pushed me to walk the walk and do something, to be accountable and brave. Genya saw the dream within and helped me make it a reality.
Now, I am so sure of myself and what I am meant to be doing. I am a Healer and a Teacher.
My new business allows me to help heal and teach in a way I didn’t know was possible. Trusting his guidance was single-handedly the best decision I made.
When you arrive on The Land, just 45 mins. from Toronto, you will find yourself in a different world.
Among a small group of friendly strangers, the tall grass grows, the gentle breeze blows, and your inner child comes to play.
Very quickly you find comfort in your surroundings and the open-hearted energies that are present. Around an open fire, you introduce yourself and let your intention for the day flow out of you organically.
Challenge yourself and tune into your body through MovNat a natural movement-based experience where nature becomes your playground. You will build strength through functional movement in a playful, non-competitive way, getting fit, reducing stress and becoming more confident in how you show up in life, and deeply knowing that you can take on whatever challenge life throws at you.
Together you move through the peaceful forest with nervous excitement. This is your primal instincts awakening. While balancing on fallen trees and throwing stones, you tune into your breath, naturally, your focus sharpens, and the sounds of the forest become the perfect soundtrack to your day.
Show up for yourself, surrender, and embrace this powerful tool.
Circle back and find a comfy place to lay down where the forest meets the meadow. Settle in for a guided Elemental Rhythm Breathwork Experience. A practice that summons the energies of the different elements: earth, water, air and fire in several deep-breathing rounds and guided meditation to take the participant into a deeper state of self-awareness. Gain greater mental clarity, emotional fluidity and inner contentment.
It is time to cleanse, move with care and in silence into the sacred Wood-Fired Sauna. As you begin to sweat, observe your body heat up and do what it was designed to do. You are a miracle.
You heal and rejuvenate your body. The sauna teaches your body longevity and vitality. It further benefits many of your body's systems including your cardiovascular, nervous, and lymphatic systems.
Find yourself back around the open fire. Tune into your sense of smell as a soup simmers over the natural heat of the coals. Together, seek the shade of a stand-alone tree. Allow yourself to be excited to nourish yourself with this wholesome meal.
Practice patience. Create a sacred space, bless the food, and take the opportunity to be grateful for all that you have and all that you are. Notice how you eat with more presence.

Before embarking on my journey with Genya, I prided myself on constant productivity, relentless goal-chasing, and perpetual motion, always eager to surpass achievements and set new benchmarks. However, after years of pursuing material success, by 2022, I found myself at a crossroads — utterly depleted, emotionally adrift, and disconnected from both myself and those around me. My mind, body, and soul were worn thin, and the pursuit of success had overshadowed the true essence of life. A dense emotional fog had enveloped me, becoming the default backdrop to each morning's awakening making me anxious, unsettled, and quite sad.
I realize now that my previous lack of action stemmed from a lack of awareness regarding the issues I was facing. Everything appeared to be so deeply intertwined with my daily life that I struggled to pinpoint where to begin or even acknowledge if there was a problem needing resolution.
After receiving guidance from Genya and participating in the immersive experience, I find myself in a significantly improved state. My experience was truly exceptional, tailored to offer me a serene and rejuvenating immersion in nature, complemented by amazing amenities. From the tranquil surroundings to the delicious natural cuisine and the incredibly supportive staff, every detail contributed to an unforgettable stay.
If you're seeking a tranquil retreat to disconnect, strengthen your connection with nature, and rejuvenate your soul, this place is truly wonderful! With caring staff dedicated to your well-being, this offers the perfect sanctuary for a transformative experience. My favorite part of the immersion was the cold plunge and hot sauna, which left me grounded with a deeper connection to my body and brought about profound clarity and inner peace.
Thanks to my time there, I'm now ready to re-engage with life's journey with renewed vigor and purpose. I've incorporated these practices into my organization, resulting in a greater sense of capability and connection among us. Seeing my team succeed with the help of breathwork, self-reflection, meditation, hold and cold immersion, diet and exercise deepens my appreciation for my visit. I perceive the team's increased collaboration and success as a testament to the valuable tools I acquired.
Through daily meditation and breathwork, I've learned to embrace a slower pace, quieting the once frenzied thoughts that drove me to constantly chase tasks and objectives. As a result, greater clarity has surfaced in my life so I can now make sharper distinctions between options that create a better life for myself and those I serve!
I've introduced greater structure into my daily routine, prioritizing sufficient sleep and committing to my daily practice, with meetings now scheduled after 11:30 am to allow for a more balanced start to the day.
Recognizing the need for assistance in managing both personal and business affairs, I've rehired my personal assistant, empowering them with greater decision-making authority. Additionally, I've enlisted the support of a business assistant, enabling me to delegate tasks and focus my time and energy on more strategic and impactful endeavors within my business.
My definition of success has evolved, placing a greater emphasis on fostering autonomy within income-generating systems, rather than relying solely on my direct involvement. Furthermore, I've embarked on a journey to delve deeper into understanding my true desires, ensuring that my business pursuits are driven by genuine passion and purpose, rather than fleeting motivations such as entertainment, pride, or selfishness.
I'm continuously exploring asymmetric opportunities that challenge me to shift my focus from 'how' to 'who' can help me accomplish objectives. This approach allows me to create more efficient systems that enhance both the quality and reach of the business, without monopolizing all of my time and energy as in the past.
On a personal level, my work with Genya has unearthed false narratives that have hindered my ability to experience life to its fullest potential. While progress may be gradual, each day brings subtle yet significant steps forward. I remain steadfast in my commitment to becoming my future self, knowing that every effort invested will ultimately yield magnificent results. With a realistic optimism, I embrace the journey ahead.

During a period of major life change, I searched for my highest purpose and truth. Books and self-help lost their efficacy. I met Genya and learned of what he could offer and swiftly engaged his assistance. Within Genya’s heart, I found a place where I could confide, seek refuge, and refine my inner wisdom free from the judgments of the world.
Our one-on-one sessions left me with a deep and unwavering faith in my intuition and capabilities which has since led to many successes. I have started my own law practice and serve clients with great insight and empower them with their own problem-solving techniques. The relationships in my life have expanded in ways I’ve only dreamed could be possible.
Life feels more honest and authentic after my sessions with Genya.
