Is friction during an offsite a problem — or a signal that something important is happening?
In this episode, Dan Berger sits down with Adam Silberstein, a YPO Certified Forum Facilitator and executive coach, to unpack why tension inside peer groups and leadership teams is often the gateway to creativity.
Adam shares what nearly 20 years of facilitation has taught him about mastery, onboarding forums correctly, accountability gaps inside peer groups, and why artificial harmony is more dangerous than productive conflict.
They dive into Forum Operating Systems (FOS), guiding principles, growth commitments, coaching models, and the role of nature in retreat design.
If you lead offsites, moderate forums, or design leadership retreats — this episode reframes friction as fuel.

Artificial harmony vs productive storming
The “10–12 common issues” every forum faces
Onboarding forums the right way

What does it actually take to start a men’s group that lasts?
In this episode, Dan Berger sits down with Tony Delmercado and Kris Derentz — co-chairs of Fellows & Fire Pits — to unpack how a small backyard gathering evolved into a thriving men’s community.
This conversation isn’t about theory. It’s about structure, participation, leadership, exclusivity, accountability, and the unglamorous early push required to get something like this off the ground.
They cover everything from heart warmers and group chats to membership criteria, vibe checks, and why men especially need intentional space as they get older.
If you’ve ever thought about starting a men’s group — or strengthening one you’re already part of — this episode gives you the real blueprint.

Lower barrier to entry, higher barrier to retention

What Retreat Leaders Can Learn From a Brother and Sister Team
Épisode 20
mercredi 22 avril 2026 • Durée 31:17
What happens when facilitation runs in the family?
In this episode, Dan Berger sits down with siblings Kaley Klemp and Paul Warner to explore what retreat leaders can learn from working inside a family system — and what it takes to build trust, credibility, and mastery across generations.
As second-generation facilitators, Kaley and Paul share how mentorship shaped their careers, how they developed their own voices apart from their father’s legacy, and why shadowing, apprenticeship, and doing your own personal work are non-negotiables in this field.
The conversation moves from sibling dynamics to small-group mastery, business development, referral networks, and the difference between “soft skills” and real strategic execution.
If you’re building a facilitation practice — or thinking about entering the space — this episode is a masterclass in craft, humility, and long-game thinking.

Second-generation facilitation and finding your own voice
The power of shadowing and apprenticeship

Why Co-Hosts Make Retreats Better
Épisode 19
mercredi 15 avril 2026 • Durée 31:17
What changes when a retreat is led by a team instead of a single facilitator?
Many retreats rely on one voice, one lens, and one nervous system to hold the room. But when retreats are co-hosted, something different happens: the container deepens, participants feel more supported, and transformation becomes shared rather than hierarchical.
In this episode, Dan Berger is joined by Christina Courtright Jenkins, April Millar, and Aleena Hill—co-founders of The Wise Woman World—to unpack why co-hosting retreats can dramatically improve safety, depth, and long-term impact.
The conversation explores shared leadership, feminine containers, astrology-informed personalization, nervous-system regulation, and how multiple facilitators create resilience not just for participants—but for the facilitators themselves.
Episode Themes
Why co-hosted retreats create stronger containers
Shared power vs. hierarchy in facilitation
The role of feminine energy and cyclical rhythms
Personalization at scale through astrology and somatics
Nervous-system safety as the foundation for intuition
Pre-retreat preparation and energetic investment
Post-retreat community and integration
Choosing the right co-hosts and complementary roles

How Planning a Retreat Is Like Making a Film
Épisode 18
jeudi 9 avril 2026 • Durée 24:40
What if designing a retreat required the same level of intention as producing a great film?
The most powerful retreats don’t happen by accident. Like films, they’re carefully designed experiences with a beginning, middle, and end—crafted to move people emotionally, not just impress them logistically.
In this episode, Dan Berger speaks with Sean Buckley, CEO of Buck Productions, to explore the surprising parallels between retreat planning and filmmaking with an award-winning producer whose work spans unscripted television, documentaries, and feature films. Through the lens of Project Guatemala, the conversation unpacks how story, audience, environment, and shared challenge combine to create experiences that genuinely transform people.
The discussion reframes retreats as immersive narratives—where participants leave their normal lives behind, step into discomfort, build community, and walk away with a story they’ll carry long after the retreat ends.
Episode Themes
Why retreats and films share the same narrative structure
Designing experiences with a clear beginning, middle, and end
Audience-first thinking in retreat planning
Discomfort and challenge as catalysts for transformation
Creating shared meaning through collective experience
The role of environment in emotional impact
Post-retreat integration and lasting connection

How to Organize Transformational Retreats for Women
Épisode 17
mercredi 1 avril 2026 • Durée 22:56
What actually makes a women’s retreat transformational—and not just a beautiful escape?
Transformation doesn’t come from the location alone. It happens when people slow down, regulate their nervous systems, and feel safe enough to let go of urgency, perfectionism, and performance.
In this episode, Dan Berger speaks with Kelley Hartman, founder of Wild Harts Collective, about how transformational retreats for women are intentionally designed—from nervous-system work and creative expression to nature-based ritual and integration.
Drawing on more than 20 years of corporate leadership experience, the conversation explores the shift from burnout to sovereignty, how small-group retreats create safety and depth, and why creativity and joy are essential—not optional—ingredients in meaningful retreat experiences.
Episode Themes
What differentiates transformational retreats from getaways
Nervous-system regulation as the foundation for change
Letting go of urgency, burnout, and perfectionism
Creative expression as an access point to embodiment
Designing retreats that balance structure and flow
Why small groups foster deeper trust and safety
Relationship-based approaches to marketing retreats
Supporting integration after the retreat ends

What Does Family Therapy Have to Do With Retreats?
Épisode 16
mercredi 25 mars 2026 • Durée 27:54
What if the real work of retreats isn’t strategy or skills—but relationships?
Many retreats struggle not because of poor agendas, but because of unspoken dynamics, unmet attachment needs, and a lack of psychological safety inside the group.
In this episode, Dan Berger is joined by Patience Shutts, a retreat facilitator, keynote speaker, and licensed marriage and family therapist, to explore how family systems thinking can radically improve retreat and forum outcomes.
The conversation unpacks why belonging is a felt, somatic experience—not an intellectual one—how facilitators can co-regulate groups, and why deep listening, shared agreements, and vulnerability are the real drivers of trust and transformation in retreat settings.
Episode Themes
Why retreats are fundamentally relational systems
Family systems theory applied to forums and retreats
Belonging as a somatic, nervous-system experience
Psychological safety and attachment needs in groups
Facilitators as co-regulators of the room
Teaching vs. facilitating—and when to do each

The Details Behind Neotantric Retreats
Épisode 15
mercredi 18 mars 2026 • Durée 26:23
What actually happens inside a neotantric retreat—and why do people travel across the world to attend them?
Neotantric retreats sit at the intersection of intimacy, nervous-system regulation, embodiment, and personal growth—yet they’re often misunderstood or oversimplified.
In this episode, Dan Berger sits down with Dawn Cartwright, founder of the Chandra Bindu Tantra Institute, to unpack what neotantric retreats truly involve, how they’re designed, and why safety, structure, and presence matter just as much as vulnerability.
The conversation explores tantra versus neo-tantra, how sexuality relates to flow states and leadership, and what retreat leaders must consider when facilitating deeply personal work in a group setting—without crossing boundaries or losing trust.
