BUILD A HOME.CHANGE A LIFE.Discover yours in the process.
A 5-day transformative experience where you'll build homes for families in need, serve local communities, and unlock the version of yourself you didn't know existed.
Is this you?
YOU'VE BUILT A LIFE. Now it's time to build something that matters.
You've been successful — but you've never felt truly fulfilled
You know there's more to life than the grind, but you haven't found it yet
You've tried self-help, therapy, retreats — but nothing shifted you at the core
You want to be part of something bigger than yourself
You're ready to stop talking about change and start building it — literally
You believe that service is the fastest path to personal transformation
If you felt that, keep reading. This was built for you.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
Five days that will reshape how you see yourself, your purpose, and what you're capable of giving to the world.
ARRIVE & CONNECT
Travel from San Diego to Ensenada. Settle into beach lodging. Meet your tribe. Evening bonfire with intentions for the week.
BUILD A HOME
Get your hands dirty — literally. Alongside your team, you'll build a home from the ground up for a family who never thought they'd have one. This is where transformation happens.
SERVE THE CHILDREN
Visit local orphanages with meaningful donations. Play with the kids. Hold the babies. See the world through different eyes. This day changes people.
HAND THE KEYS & TRANSFORM
The moment that changes everything: you hand the keys to a family who now has a home because of you. Then you return home — but you won't be the same person who left.
ONE PRICE. ZERO SURPRISES.
Every detail is handled so you can focus on what matters — the experience.

Chris Sands
Business Leader
“THE MOMENT YOU HAND THE KEYS TO A FAMILY WHO NEVER THOUGHT THEY'D HAVE A HOME — THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGES.”
I've built businesses, spoken on stages, coached hundreds of people. But nothing — nothing — has transformed me like building a home for a family who needed it. That's why this retreat exists. Not as a vacation. Not as a photo op. As the single most powerful catalyst for personal transformation I've ever witnessed.
