Transform at the Stray Reflections retreat

May 5-8, 2025

The Stray Reflections Retreat is a special gathering where we step away from the busyness of life and reconnect with what truly matters. Rather than describe it myself, I’d like to share what some of last year’s attendees had to say:

Jawad curated an experience that exceeded my expectations. The quality of the workshop leaders combined with the attendees’ honesty and candor made the retreat truly memorable, deep, and cathartic.It’s a week I will never forget.

– Jihan Bowes-Little, Partner at Bracket Capital

“This was the most impactful, meaningful, and transformative few days I’ve had. I was in unfamiliar waters, but being surrounded by smart, humble, and curious people in a beautiful setting made all the difference. A truly life-changing experience.”

– Grant Williams, Founder at TTMYGH

The retreat was a much-needed break from the relentless noise of daily life. The serene setting and Jawad’s wonderful community made for a deeply enriching experience, allowing me to gain clarity, focus, and a renewed sense of purpose.

– Ajaz Ahmed, CEO at AKQA

A few unexpected days with world-class teachers profoundly impacted my life and career. My wife and I experienced lasting changes, and the retreat has redefined how we will build a better future for ourselves, our children, and our community.

– Kenneth Klabunde, Principal at Precedent Financial

These reflections capture the essence of what makes the retreat unique: practical insights and tools offered by our world-class teachers, meaningful connections with kindred spirits, and an environment that inspires clarity and renewal.

From May 5–8, 2025, we’ll gather at Canyon Ranch in Woodside, California. If this feels like the right time for you to pause and invest in yourself, I encourage you to reserve your spot soon, as spaces are limited.

Feel free to reply if you have any questions—I’m happy to help.

With gratitude,

Jawad
