Enfold’s Executive Communal
A transformative wellness experience tailored to executive teams, brands and peer-groups like EO, YPO, Mackay & Tec that are looking for new forms of self-development and personal growth, team-building and meaningful ways to deepen connections with their peers.
Executive Communal can be designed with or without any substances. Breathwork offers a safe and substance-free way to explore states of consciousness. For groups that want to go deeper, we offer the option to enhance the breathwork session and/or integration circle with a safe, gentle and legal psychedelic medicine.
It's a New Era
You and your team are looking for something different for your next retreat. An experience that stirs something deep inside you. One that brings you together in a more meaningful way. An experience that helps you connect with your personal and collective ‘why’.
It’s time to raise the bar on what team-building looks like. It’s time to go deeper.
Executive Communal is a necessary and inspired response to the evolving landscape of personal/professional growth and team connection.
Executive Communal is the future of executive wellness. An event that combines meaningful connection, personal growth, restorative wellness, and fun.

We are entrepreneurs at heart. We’ve founded and scaled businesses and understand the challenges of balancing the health of a company’s culture with one’s own personal wellness and growth.
Our personal and spiritual development journeys began in the mid-90s with plant medicine and deep spiritual inquiry, which we have since combined with Vipassana meditation, breathwork, yoga, and Buddhist philosophy.
We are executive coaches and spiritual guides to some of the top entrepreneurs in North America. We effortlessly bridge the gap between the worlds of business, personal development, and consciousness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Breathwork refers to various techniques and practices that focus on the conscious manipulation and control of one’s breath for therapeutic, spiritual, or personal development purposes. It involves specific breathing patterns and exercises designed to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
The benefits of breathwork can include stress & anxiety reduction, improved focus and clarity, improved digestion, increased energy levels, pain management and toxin release, enhanced relaxation and improved sleep, emotional release and a greater sense of self-love and self-awareness.
The breath and sound experience will span 85 minutes in length, with the first 50 dedicated to up-regulated, deep diaphragmatic belly-breathing to clear out stuck energy and create optimal space for expansion.
Up-regulated breathing allows us to quiet the thinking mind, take control of our nervous systems and access the subconscious. We then transition into a soothing and restorative sound bath to give you ample time to rest inside the new space you’ve cultivated.
Dive as deep or take it as easy as you’d like. You are the driver of your experience.
Take some time in the days leading up to meditate, be still or journal about present themes in your life. Is there something asking to be released? Is there something new you are calling in? Setting a clear intention before going into breathwork will help direct the experience.
Please do not show up hungover or under the influence of any substances. We reserve the right to refuse anyone access to the event upon arrival if we feel you may pose a risk to yourself or others.
Limit or eliminate caffeine leading up to the day of Communal. This will help to calm your nervous system and prepare you for the day ahead.
