The Idea Behind Unsettled’s New Workshops

In 2019, Unsettled launched our Lifestyle Incubator, a month-long virtual retreat to help professionals answer the question, “What’s next for me?”

In 5 years, we’ve run 15 iterations of this program and worked with more than 500 participants, helping them transition from dream jobs at some of the largest, most recognized employers in the world to designing a career and life uniquely for them.

We help participants articulate a life mission statement, understand and apply their true north, map out where this takes them over time, and learn to use experiment-based goal-setting as a tool to make progress on their personal vision.

We adapted this program and brought it into Fortune 100 companies during the pandemic. We partnered with one of the most recognized hotel brands to bring it to hotel founders and executives. We’ve even won awards.

Over time, we’ve realized something powerful: Realizing your dream lifestyle doesn’t come from travel but from the intentionality you create when you’re not traveling! 

That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new chapter: a series of workshops designed to inspire and equip professionals with the tools to build independent livelihoods and lifestyles, no matter where they are.

How To Create Inspiration & Change When You’re Not Traveling

At Unsettled, our experiences have helped people take the first steps toward redefining what success means for them, whether that’s launching a creative project, starting a business, or designing a lifestyle centered on freedom and fulfillment.

It’s our approach that makes us unique. We apply the lessons learned from running a globally distributed hospitality company that brings professionals from all backgrounds together into a learning community.
These workshops are a natural evolution of our mission.

We aim to break routines and old approaches to working from a desk, helping professionals everywhere transition to livelihoods that are uniquely designed for their success—however they define that.

Maybe you’re ready to pivot your lifestyle toward more travel, adventure, purpose, or control over your schedule. Or perhaps you’re ready to start that solopreneur journey you’ve been thinking about for months. Maybe you need a sabbatical, a new office for a few weeks, or an escape from home to hit reset.

We’ll continue to offer our renowned travel experiences from Bali to Cape Town, but now we’ll also be running more virtual experiences to help you transition faster, more efficiently, and with more purpose than ever before.

How Our Workshops Get You Closer To Your Lifestyle

What makes Unsettled Workshops unique is the design behind them.

• Facilitated, Co-Creation: Each session is guided by Unsettled facilitators who have led trips and programs around the world. We don’t stand at a podium and lecture; we engage you in our process.
• Interactive and Community-Driven: Our workshops are interactive, combining moments of self-reflection with group discussions and collaborative exercises. We want you to meet people on a similar journey.
• Proven Frameworks: From design thinking to storytelling, we draw on our tried-and-true methodologies that help participants reimagine what’s possible when they set their mind to living and working differently.
• Practical Takeaways: We’re not just about lofty ideas—we give you practical tools to apply what you’ve learned immediately.

What You Can Expect In Our Workshops Focused on Career & Lifestyle Aspirations

Our workshops tackle questions that many of us grapple with but rarely take the time to answer:

• How can I align my work with my values and passions?
• What does a fulfilling lifestyle look like for me?
• How do I move from dreaming to doing?
• What’s the next chapter I’m on, and what are the best steps to realizing it?

Each workshop is designed to stand alone, but together, they create a cohesive journey of exploration and transformation. We’ll explore themes like finding your “why,” setting priorities that matter, and designing rituals for purpose-driven living.

Whether you join us virtually or through one of our immersive in-person retreats, you’ll find a community of curious, open-minded individuals who, like you, are ready to embrace change and step into a new way of living.

Let’s Get Started

So whether you’ve traveled with us before or are new to Unsettled, we invite you to join us for these workshops. They’re not just about imagining a better life—they’re about taking the first step toward living it.
