Have a game-changing vision, project, or strategy that you can't get to because you’re crazy-busy?
Here's your opportunity (excuse maybe?) to start 2018 off RIGHT and do your best work--in an uninterrupted, brain-juiced, creative work retreat.

Join us for CONNECT — a private, daylong "work spa" — to focus and innovate on your most mission-critical project or 2018 intentions. There will be neuroscience, design, mindfulness, chair massage, solo time, networking —and FUN!

Held at CHANGE, engagedIN’s neuroscience design training center on 160 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains — so you can connect with nature, mind-body practices, creativity, your target users/audience and fellow changemakers in health and well-being. See more photos of the CHANGE center, here.

Connect-by-Design

·         Unplug and take concentrated time to create or iterate on ANY project you choose
·         Connect with nature to awaken your brain in a way that’s not available in your daily, distracted, back-to-back meeting life.
·         Apply brain science on attention, motivation, and engagement to create groundbreaking things that change health and wellbeing.
·         Be among respected peers—equally innovative behavior-change experts—who push you to ignite deeper innovation.
·         Gain escape velocity from your brain’s typical solutions and distractions.
·         Apply design thinking and neuroscience in design sprints we facilitate for you throughout the day—so you leave with a concrete, testable prototype to bring home—a huge payoff for your time investment!
·         OR...work alone and practice silence to go deep
