Custom Experiences: For Creative Businesses and Cultural Societies
The Elixir: Stone, Soul, and the Secret World. Exclusive Retreats for Strategic Leaders, Elite Studios, and Cultural Institutions
We offer specialized, high-impact retreats for High-Value Teams, Leading Artisans, and Cultural Societies. Our teaching is rooted in the strategic discipline and ancient wisdom required for sustained excellence (Arete) and a lasting legacy.
The three core experiences offer graduated access to the Master’s unbroken lineage, reflecting a rising investment in depth and exclusivity. The Essentials (£650+), The Carver’s Core (£1,050+), and The Elixir (£3,500+) directly correspond to a heightened level of exclusivity, philosophical immersion, and the Master’s personal guidance, often in prestigious locations across the British Isles: The Essentials provides the foundational introduction to core techniques; The Carver’s Core is the intensive, five-day masterclass (focusing on deep material connection and discipline, frequently held in the Master’s intimate studios within the Cotswolds or the West of Ireland; while The Elixir is the premium, ultra-exclusive philosophical retreat, reserved for high-value clients seeking ultimate strategic focus, which integrates four decades of the Master’s wisdom with concepts like Arete and Eudaimonia in a bespoke, international, or curated legacy-building environment.
