The 2x20 3-Day Retreat Experience
Boulder, Colorado
Step out of the frenetic overwhelm of everyday life, drop into a gorgeous destination retreat experience, and spend 3-days with an intimate gathering of likeminded, curious, and kind midlife explorers, getting intentional about making the next season of work, wellness, relationships, and life amazing!
Together, we’ll explore how to set up your next 2 years as a playful and exciting window of growth, experimentation, self-discovery, and clarity designed to set up your next 20 year season of work, life, wellness, relationships and beyond to feel truly nourishing and alive.
And, by the way, if 2 and 20 don’t feel right for you, just change it to whatever does. 1x10. Six months by 5 years. It’s all about adapting the concept and the tools to you and your life, not the other way around. Which is something we talk about in the retreat.
Think of it as the ultimate later-life jumpstart experience, guided by acclaimed teacher, founder, advisor, award-winning author, and host of the iconic Good Life Project podcast, Jonathan Fields.
Here is what you’ll experience.
Your adventure begins with a three-day retreat at a gorgeous, immersive destination location in one of the worlds most incredible mountain towns, Boulder, Colorado.
You’ll step out of your day-to-day life, and all the frenzy and stress it can so often bring, and drop into a safe, open space where you can drop the facade, breathe more easily, just be yourself and not have to prove anything to anyone, meet anyone else’s expectation, or take care of anyone else’s needs.
You’ll be embraced by an intimate collective of amazing, like-minded people with shared experiences and references, all there on a shared mission. To get real, lead with kindness, grow, reimagine, then make incredible things happen.
You will do incredible, important, and also playful, revealing, and fun work. It’s all designed to foster genuine awakenings and growth. To start not just planning but also taking action and building momentum, in real time, during your retreat experience.
This is what we welcome you into.
We’ll have fun (many laughs will be had), and we’re also here to do some powerful work together.
The 2x20 Growth Frameworks and Tools.
Along the way, you will discover a new set of tools, practices, and frameworks designed to reawaken your sense of possibility. They’ll help you understand and integrate where you’ve been, plot a course to where you want to go, and get clear on how you want this next season to feel. And, they’ll give you what you need to keep growing, acting, and crafting your next season for months and years to come.
Together, they fuel revelation, insight, action-taking, and transformation:
The 2x20 Framework™ - This is the powerful framework that inspired this entire 2x20 Retreat endeavor, based on Jonathan’s personal 2-year journey that began on his 58th birthday. It’s a way of framing your personal evolution as a series of joyful, accessible, playful, and enticing experiments that honor your curiosity, while also generating stunning, new insights and information that help you design your next season to unfold in an intentional, yet spacious and organic way.
The 2x20 Compass™ - This powerful tool, alone, is a game-changer. It reveals your unique drivers, orientations, and preferences, not just in the domain of work, but also life. It will become a tool you come to rely on to understand yourself, what matters to you and why with so much more clarity and confidence than ever before. And, you’ll learn how to tap the power of your 2x20 Compass to make better, easier, more empowered decisions about the future you’ll be crafting, not just someday, but in real-time during the retreat.
The Good Life Buckets™ - This simple, yet remarkably powerful model of a live well-lived introduces the three Good Life Buckets–Vitality, Connection, and Contribution–then shows you how to tap their power to better understand why you may be feeling the way you are, and where to focus your energy to enable to greatest, fastest change.
The Sparketypes® - Becoming a global phenomenon, with input from more than 1-million people, generating over 50-million data-points, your Sparketype helps you identify what kind of work makes you come alive and what empties you out. It is a powerful diagnostic that explains so much of your past work experiences and guides your decisions about how best to invest your time and energy in your next season of work and life.
The 2x20 Experiment Framework™ - You’ll learn how to finally break out of the paralysis and spin-cycle in your head, start taking action, and experience real results, growth, and momentum. It’s all about dropping into the world of joyful experiments, conducted in a very specific way, that unfold across 4 distinct time-windows. You’ll not only learn about our approach to running 2x20 experiments, you’ll discover a 5-step approach that guides you into action. And, you’ll even run your very own experiment, in real-time, during the retreat!
Here are some phots from our last retreat in Palm Springs, CA to get a better feel for the types of venues we choose to gather at. We’ll share updated photos of the Boulder location soon.
Bigger picture.
You will step out of the frenetic and distracting (overwhelming, even) pace of daily life, and drop into a gorgeous, deeply nourishing, high-desert retreat in Palm Springs, where you can relax, breathe, settle in, and let your mind and body reset, and discover peace and possibility that’s nearly impossible to access in everyday life.
You’ll spend 3 days with Jonathan Fields and an intimate group of fellow midlife explorers, capped at 22 people to preserve the experience's intimacy, genuine openness, and connectedness.
You’ll find new, soulful friendships (and maybe even collaborations) in what we’ve come to call our 2x20 Collective, and unlock a wellspring of insights into who you are and what genuinely matters to you as you look ahead to this next season.
You’ll tap the groundbreaking 2x20 frameworks and tools to begin crafting a future that is so much more intentional, alive, meaningful, joyful, and connected to what genuinely matters and who you are…in real time, during the retreat.
You’ll leave with a beautiful sense of focus, ease, clarity, momentum, and connection to amazing new friends and fellow travelers, the 2x20 Collective, sharing similar experiences and moments in life, and a powerful new set of tools, clarity about what comes next, and a practical roadmap to begin making it all happen.

Thoughts from Past 2x20 Retreaters.
“As part of the inaugural 2 X 20 retreat, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away by the entire experience. The obvious care in curating this experience allowed all of us participants to actively engage, connect with one another and envision a future intentionally designed to fill our buckets. It was an amazing gathering of people from disparate backgrounds but with whom I felt an immediate sense of excitement, anticipation and community. The tools presented will guide my next steps but more importantly the follow up from Jonathan and the other participants will assure progress and accountability. Thanks to the retreat, I am looking forward to experimenting in ways I never before imagined with purpose, passion and possibility.” - Sally Marcus

“I have had two experiences since I left the retreat on Sunday evening that have been extremely remarkable. The first was talking to my wife over the phone at the airport to give her a recap of what took place, and then the other was at the dinner table Monday evening with my 14 year old daughter. In both cases, they asked me what the weekend was all about. I couldn't say I had a clear vision before the weekend, nor did I think I had a clearly articulated answer ready to give when asked that, but in both of those cases I ended up doing something I had not done in a long time. I unleashed words, sentences, and paragraphs that were backed with passion, clarity, and reflection.
This last weekend was exactly what I needed within my own 2x20 journey and I appreciate Jonathan adding formality to a journey I feel I was already on. It truly has given me insights into myself, my unique situation, and better clarity of where I want to go next. Jonathan and his team did an excellent job from start to finish laying a framework for 20 complete strangers with varying backgrounds, to come together and work as a team to inspire, encourage, and help each other uncover their own unique guiding principles. Everyone entered the week with their own compass that needed a little help being pointed in the right direction. After leaving, I believe everyone has a better idea of where to point that compass and narrow down where that next destination might end up being.” - Eric Suro
“Jonathan and his team have created a singular experience that is simultaneously transformative, energizing and relaxing. What Jonathan teaches are not vague concepts for self-discovery, but a detailed, specific - and pragmatic - framework through which we can learn what most moves us and why, how our best self can show up at work and in relationships, and how to act on that data. Being with people committed to living intentionally, as they grapple with big questions in a new season of life, was a privilege. We left inspired and directed and are excited to stay in touch, appreciative of all the new resources this experience delivered, both from Jonathan’s work and our new connections to each other.” - A.B. Stoddard

“Connection, connection, connection! I absolutely loved being part of this experience and community. I was blown away by the similarities and differences that made it seemingly effortless to connect with the people attending this retreat. I was so sad to leave. The wonderful care that the support team took of us was second to none. Amazing food that was well thought out and considered everyone’s needs. A really beautiful and amazing experience.” - Jennifer Poole

“Overall, amazing. It's great to be able to take time, sit in stillness and listen to others who are open to working on the questions that they hope will guide them into their future. What a gift to be able to share what's on my mind and process what I'm thinking with others who are in a similar spot in their lives -- really eye opening. The tools are really handy - help to focus the attention on the things that matter….” - Jon Breckenridge

“Wow, what an incredible experience! I came into the 2x20 retreat looking for big ideas and ways to make the next chapter of my life meaningful. I thought I was looking for the ending of the story, but my a-ha moment was realizing I need to start at the beginning and do the work from the inside out. It was truly amazing to be around others in a similar season of life. The connection, the sharing, and the genuine care within the group created a safe space to open up and grow together. It was such a relief to realize I wasn’t alone and energizing to hear everyone’s stories. Jonathan’s materials, tools, and roadmaps are incredibly helpful, not just for the retreat itself, but afterward too. They made it easy to take small, practical steps right away. The whole experience was truly special. The setting was beautiful, the meals were made with so much love and care, and every detail felt thoughtfully designed to help us do real, meaningful inner work.” - Lisa Berglund
“The 2x20 Retreat was more than a weekend away—it was a reset. Surrounded by 20 extraordinary humans, I found space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. Jonathan, you created an experience that was both deeply grounding and expansive. The Three Buckets framework and the process of building our compass helped me see my life through a new lens—one that invites curiosity, compassion, and experimentation instead of pressure to have it all figured out. As someone balancing multiple roles—corporate leader, teacher, coach, and human in pursuit of vitality and connection—this retreat gave me both language and tools to begin realigning the pieces of my life with greater intention and ease. I left feeling inspired, supported, and reconnected to the courage it takes to design what’s next. Thank you for creating a space where reflection meets possibility.” - Amanda Hahn

“The 2x20 retreat with Jonathan Fields was a truly grounding and eye-opening experience. It offered me a thoughtful framework to reflect on where I’ve been and begin to imagine what’s next in this next phase of my life. I came away with a sense of clarity and curiosity — and permission to experiment as I explore new possibilities. Doing this kind of deep reflection within such a kind and supportive community made all the difference. I left with clarity, curiosity, and a sense of belonging that I’ll carry forward as I navigate what’s next.” - Kathy Mock

“There are rare moments in life when you realize something inside you has shifted forever. After three incredible days at the 2x20 retreat with Jonathan and the team, I left with both a deeper and wider perspective on my next two years—and practical tools to keep that momentum alive. The energy and connection within our group were unforgettable. There’s a special kind of excitement that comes from collectively launching into new experiments, supported by such an authentic group of people. Jonathan, Stephanie, Ryan, and Shelley created an environment where connection, vulnerability, learning, and growth naturally flourished. I left with new friends, a full heart, and excitement and greater clarity about the road ahead.” - Michelle Truppe
Craft your next season with clarity, intention & community.
The 2x20 Retreat is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend 3-immersive days reflecting, imagining, experimenting, and designing the life you’ve always wanted with wisdom, intention, guidance, and community. And, to learn how to keep it going for months and years beyond.
It’s about helping you rediscover who you truly are and what truly matters. It’s about moving through this window of transition with a sense of hope, possibility, wisdom, and ease.
It’s about experiencing both immediate shifts and long-term transformation. And, not having to figure it out, then make it happen alone.
It’s about not wasting this stunning, precious, and opportune moment.
Spaces are limited to ensure a deeply personal experience. If you feel the pull, if your heart is saying, “This is for me,” don’t wait.
When we open enrollment, the limited number of spots generally go quickly, before we open the waitlist for the next experience.
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you return home, a touchstone for how to live, love, and create with intention in the next season of your life.
You don’t have to do this alone. We’ve got you.
Join us in the upcoming 2x20 Retreat.
Your next season is waiting. Let’s make it extraordinary.
