June 24 – 28, 2019
Hacienda Diamante, Costa Rica

Rediscover who you and your child are together, through the experience of a lifetime.

What is Shakubuku?

Shakubuku is learning and living the definition, “to bring happiness to all people by awakening them to their inherent greatness.”

By the time we are in our early teens, we have begun building a thick shell to protect ourselves from ridicule, criticism, anger and much more. Many times that negativity comes from the people closest to us – our family, friends, teachers, sports coaches.

Look at our symbol – the snail walking away from it’s thick shell. This is Shakubuku. It requires Awareness, known Beliefs and a tremendous amount of Courage.

Learning and living Shakubuku with someone significant in your life will forever shift your relationship in a positive direction.

Give this gift of Shakubuku to you and your family.

Why Shakubuku?

After hundreds of retreats with executive teams bring people together over shared experiences and create monumental life shifts that create bonds deep into personal lives. This is profoundly uncommon ‘at work’.

During our retreats we have heard a version of the same tragic story over and over from executives:

“I’m so busy and travel so much that now when I come home I feel like a stranger in my own home. I feel disconnected from their daily lives. They have no idea how hard it is or that I do it all for them. Even worse, I don’t know what to do to change it. I am completely torn between my job and my family. How do I fix this?”

Shakubuku is the solution.

Your Family Shakubuku

Nothing is more important than our relationships specifically the ones we have with our children and our significant other. Yet, many times work takes first place. Even after your Shakubuku experience work must still be a priority yet the difference will be the relationship strategies that are made during the Shakubuku.

Overcoming adversity and challenges, solving problems together, understanding each other’s motivations and setting up family agreements moving forward are just a few ways we will help you and your child bridge the divide in a wonderful way.

This experience is not a ‘fix’. It is a ‘reset’; a new beginning for the relationship with your teenager.

This is not a vacation getaway and it’s not a therapy session. It certainly is not a tour. But you do get to leave the details to us!

Family Shakubuku is designed to be one parent and one child brought together in a fabulous location to reshape your relationship for the rest of your lives. Two parents and two children is absolutely welcome as well!

Most adventures are designed for older children in their teenage years. However, that is not a hard rule.

Experiences are all inclusive. You pay to get to our location, we take care of everything else.
