2026 Leadership Retreat

Why FIELD Exists

Our members are increasingly stepping into roles where they manage teams, run organizations, and carry significant responsibility—yet few have access to the leadership training that others take for granted. Isolation is REAL. Burnout is REAL. But so is your future success.

FICGN created FIELD to close that gap and equip leaders with the tools, frameworks, and peer community needed for long-term leadership success.

Begin with FrameworksMove beyond leading purely on instinct. You’ll leave with concrete, high-level strategies for complex decision-making, people operations, and sustainable scaling.

Engage in Education Over 7 weeks, you’ll earn a formalized leadership certification that translates your lived experience into recognized executive authority.

End with RetreatFour days of recharge. Leave the laptop at home--no, seriously. You’ll return to your work not just rested, but with the sharp, strategic clarity that only comes from completely unplugging in a peaceful, remote environment.

Who FIELD for Effective Managers Is Designed For

This leadership experience is designed for formerly incarcerated professionals who are responsible for managing people, teams, or growing organizations—and want to do it well.

The Leader Ready to Step Into Their Next LevelYou know your organization—and the people who rely on it—deserve a stronger, more effective version of your leadership. You want practical frameworks for giving feedback, setting expectations, handling conflict, and building a team that actually works.

The Leader Growing an OrganizationYour organization is growing. What used to work when there were two or three people no longer works when there are five, ten, or more. You want tools to help you structure teams, communicate clearly, and lead an organization that can scale without chaos.

The Leader Who Never Got Management TrainingYou built your leadership through lived experience, movement work, and community leadership. Now you want to pair that experience with real management frameworks, strategy, and peer learning from leaders navigating the same challenges.

Who Belongs at FIELD x Tulum?

This exclusive retreat is specifically designed for:

The Frontline Executive:You are a formerly incarcerated leader running a nonprofit or movement. You’ve built your influence from the ground up and are managing real organizational complexity every day.

The Unconventional Leader:You didn't come up through traditional corporate pipelines. You want to pair your on-the-ground intuition with concrete frameworks and peer-level strategy, not just motivation.

The Leader Ready to Unplug:You are done with trips that feel like an extension of work. You are looking for a high-end, zero-friction environment where you can completely disconnect, recharge, and be taken care of for four days.

What you will take back to your organization:

Tested Executive Frameworks:Move beyond leading purely on instinct. You’ll leave with concrete, high-level strategies for complex decision-making, people operations, and sustainable scaling.

An Authoritative Credential:You’ll earn a formalized leadership certification—a tangible asset that translates your lived experience into recognized executive authority.

Uncompromising Rest & Clarity:Four days of zero-friction luxury. You’ll return to your work not just rested, but with the sharp, strategic clarity that only comes from completely unplugging in a world-class environment.

FAQ

If I get the shared room, what can I expect?

You can expect a spacious, comfortable, and highly intentional environment. You will be thoughtfully paired with one other leader from the cohort in a luxury jungle villa.

While you will share the overarching villa space (including the private plunge pool, full kitchen, and sweeping rooftop terrace), you will have your own dedicated bed and ample personal space to decompress. It’s perfect for the executive who values community and shared peer experience without sacrificing comfort.

You can see more photos and get more information about all the rooms here.

Also please note: the purchase price of the shared room is per person (not per room).

What's not included?

What is not included is your roundtrip airfare to Mexico, personal travel insurance, and transportation from the airport to our designated pickup hub in Tulum.

Any personal incidentals, extra spa services, or off-site purchases outside of our curated itinerary are also your responsibility.

Can you accommodate specific dietary needs or allergies?

Absolutely. Our world-class, farm-to-table culinary experience is adjustable to your needs. Once your spot is secured, we will gather your specific dietary restrictions, allergies, and preferences.

From there, our private chefs will ensure that every meal—from our unhurried brunches to our bespoke dinners—is safely and meticulously prepared for you. We handle all the details so you never have to think twice about it.

Is this business or pleasure?

It is a deliberate, uncompromising intersection of both. This is an executive retreat designed to give you tested frameworks, strategic clarity, and an authoritative leadership credential (business). However, we believe profound rest is a prerequisite for visionary leadership.

You will experience world-class hospitality, zero-friction luxury, and total seclusion (pleasure). We have designed the itinerary to ensure you leave with both sharpened executive command and deeply restored energy.

What airport should I fly into and what time should I arrive?

The most convenient option is the new Tulum International Airport (TQO), though Cancun International Airport (CUN) is also a viable option. You should plan your flight to arrive by early afternoon on Thursday, August 6th, 2026.

This ensures you have plenty of time to transit to our meeting point, utilize our seamless shuttle service to the Kaaba Luum jungle oasis, and enjoy a soft landing before our Welcome Reception and Opening Dinner that evening.

Who is eligible for the Scholarship tier?

The scholarship tier is strictly reserved for frontline leaders currently working at grassroots nonprofits with limited operating budgets.

Applications are evaluated based on your organization's annual operating budget, your current leadership trajectory, and your alignment with FIELD’s executive learning goals.

Will I have time to just do nothing?

Absolutely. While we provide high-level executive sessions and curated off-site excursions, we have purposefully built "margin" into the itinerary.

From quiet mornings to open afternoons and unstructured evenings by the fire, you will have plenty of time to enjoy your private plunge pool, read, sleep in, and simply exist without the pressure of an overpacked schedule.
