A different kind of executive leadership growth experience.

The Edge is an embodied, experiential retreat on Fogo Island, one of the seven edges of the world. It’s designed to disrupt your patterns, expand your capacity, and sharpen the internal system you lead from.

Most leaders respond to uncertainty by tightening their grip, optimizing, controlling. But the future belongs to those willing to step past the familiar, hold paradox without collapsing, and create from a deeper place of agency.

This is not a leadership class. There is no deck, no framework, no textbook that can meet this moment. It’s you, a curated group of leaders, and the clarity that comes only when you remove yourself from the noise and step into the unknown. The Edge retreat is designed for:

  • Facilitated conversations that cut beneath surface leadership talk

  • A multidimensional blend of physiology, psychology, and human performance

  • Solo reflection time on the North Atlantic coastline

  • Deep connection with a small, curated group of high-caliber C-Suite leaders

  • Structured integration so the impact lasts long after you return

Fogo Island’s dramatic landscape is a living metaphor for modern complexity. Fire meets ice. Chaos meets stillness. Destruction and renewal sit side by side. Every element of the experience is designed to move you toward meaningful, internal transformation.

One year. Three elements. Total transformation.

  • Modern multi-story building with large windows, illuminated from within, elevated on stilts over rocky terrain, during dusk with cloudy sky.

    Phase 1: Immersive Retreat

    4 days at the edge of the world in remote Fogo Island’s wild terrain

    Luxury, hand‑picked accommodations at Michelin-starred Fogo Island Inn

    Guided leadership experiences like: glacier hikes, geothermal plunges, stillness & chaos

  • A scenic view of a deep river valley with steep, green-covered cliffs on either side and a waterfall in the background, under a cloudy sky.

    Phase 2: Executive Coaching

    Eight private virtual 1:1 coaching sessions (60 minutes)

    Matched to one of our three founding facilitators based on goals and fit

    Scheduled across 12 months to deepen learning after the immersive retreat

  • Four cyclists riding on a dirt trail in a rural landscape with hills in the distance

    Phase 3: Executive Community

    Three 90‑minute virtual gatherings

    Real‑time collaboration & accountability

    Lifelong, high‑trust peer network

Because even the strongest leaders need a horizon.

The higher you ascend, the less space you have for honest challenge, stillness, and recalibration.

The Edge gives you back that space. It creates the conditions for clarity, courage, and strategic renewal.

Curated and built specifically for global executive leaders who want to:

  • Step out of the noise and into a thinking environment you cannot access day-to-day

  • Reconnect with conviction, purpose, and personal direction

  • Strengthen your ability to navigate ambiguity without burning out

  • Make decisions from a deeper, more grounded place

  • Leave with sharper thinking and an expanded sense of possibility

The edge of the world changes you.

Fogo Island Inn is a physical and emotional threshold. Its silence, scale, and stark beauty create conditions you can’t manufacture in a boardroom. Here, perspective shifts. Patterns break. What matters becomes unmistakably clear.

  • Radical stillness that reveals what you’ve been too busy to notice

  • Architecture that mirrors the inner work: modern, bold, elemental

  • A landscape that forces presence and rewards reflection

  • A rare space where your thinking can finally catch up to your ambition

This is more than an Inn; it’s a place with purpose. Fogo Island Inn is a community-centred social business and an initiative of Shorefast, a Canadian charity that is forging a new path at the intersection of business, philanthropy, and community economic development.

9 executives. Invitation only. Summer 2026.

Hand‑selected for fit and readiness to lead the future, not just those who want to manage the present. Due to the immersive and remote nature of the program, space is extremely limited.
