THE CLARITY RETREATS

Where leaders pause and leave with clarity.

Private 1-to-1 retreats in Málaga for leaders, founders, and speakers. Two days in a 9th-century Andalusian castle to strip away the noise, clarify your positioning, and leave with a message and roadmap that fit who you’ve become.

Find your voice

Clarify what you stand for

Be remembered

You don’t need more visibility. You need more meaning and smarter visibility.

You’ve achieved more than most, but your message hasn’t evolved with you.

Your website, keynote, or LinkedIn bio no longer fit. 
You feel misaligned, and the world senses it too.

What do I truly stand for? What do I want to leave behind?

You don't need another training. You need a pause.

Space to think, realign, and rediscover your voice without pressure, noise, or pitch decks.

Together, we shape your Clarity Brand™:

a values-based positioning that reflects who you are today, and the story you want to carry into the next 10 years.

No hype. No conference rooms.

Just deep conversation in a calm, private setting.

Space to walk, reflect, journal, and speak your truth with someone who listens deeply.

You don’t need a pitch.

You need space.

Private 1-to-1 retreats available monthly. Flexible dates to fit your calendar.

Come solo, or bring a co-founding partner for a shared 1-to-2 experience.

❌ Not for:
– People chasing virality
– Early-stage founders still seeking product–market fit
– Influencers after quick social growth hacks

This isn't two days of back-to-back coaching. It's space. Structure. And clarity.

The Clarity Retreat™ isn’t a boot camp or therapy marathon. It’s a reset, a quiet, custom-designed space to think deeply, speak freely, and see what’s next.

Over two days, we balance focused 1-to-1 sessions with time to pause, walk, write, and reflect.
Day 1: arrival, reflection, positioning.
Day 2: messaging deep-dive, journaling, wrap.

Optional: add fresh perspective from experts like Carlos Cantú (creative branding guide, ex-Samsung & Twitter).

You'll leave with:

  • A clear personal brand rooted in purpose
  • Messaging that reflects your voice and future
  • A practical roadmap for visibility and impact

No group. No pressure. Just you, your vision, and space to create clarity with expert guidance and room to breathe.

Meet your clarity mentor

Get ready to be inspired.

Steven Piessens, Founder Oratore Ventures

Hi, I’m Steven.

I live in Málaga with my wife, two kids, and our Spanish water dog, blending Belgian roots with Spanish rhythm.

For 25+ years, I’ve helped thought leaders, founders, and speakers clarify their voice, values, and vision.

What I’ve learned?

Sometimes clarity comes not from scaling up, but from slowing down.

Not from more noise, but from more meaning.

That’s what these retreats are for.

Follow me on LinkedIn for more.
