Retreat By Request
A retreat that incorporates the whole self. Led by Nicole Serena Silver author of Vekita Full Potential and Forbes contributor on the Future of Work.
Set in a serene and inspiring environment, participants will embark on an immersive experience designed to help them gain clarity on their career path — wherever that journey takes them. Each participant will craft an actionable career vision plan while connecting with like-minded individuals, ensuring a direction that is deeply aligned with who they truly are.
Each day combines intentional self-reflection and discovery with meaningful downtime and planned activities. Using the Vekita Full Potential Guidebook — a workbook created by Nicole to help you design a life and career you love — you'll benefit from personalized guidance alongside group activities that deepen your learning and forge genuine bonds with fellow participants.
We explore a full spectrum of topics: passions, skills, and values; lifestyle preferences and company culture; the feelings you want more of in your work; budget and core needs; writing your ideal job description; surfacing bright future career possibilities; and ultimately designing a career roadmap with clear steps toward your goals.
Self-reflection takes effort, and rest is part of the process. Breaks are thoughtfully built in — through morning meditations, yoga, and curated local adventures — creating the space for insights to surface naturally.
Your accommodation is carefully selected to complement the retreat experience: a spacious, beautifully appointed setting surrounded by nature, offering comfort, community, and room to breathe.
Nourishing meals are included throughout — lovingly prepared with premium, fresh ingredients to keep you energized and well cared for from morning to evening.
Our intention is for you to leave refreshed, nourished, and inspired — with a clear sense of direction.

- Accommodation
- Nourishing and delicious meals, made with premium ingredients
- Daily yoga
- Local adventures

"Nicole's workshop was refreshingly supportive and insightful - our clients loved it! The attendees reflected that they were inspired, energized and each felt a unique clarity they had been craving. Nicole went above and beyond by offering tangible tools and assisted everyone to stay on track after the workshop with creating their ideal life. This included forming accountability groups to work through the Full Potential guidebook together, which provided a strong foundation for everyone to not only support themselves, but support each other in manifesting their ideal career and life. I highly recommend her and we will definitely bring her back!”
- Aviva, Owner of Leela
"I was one of Nicole's first students and, let me tell you, she has a real gift for leading you through a self reflective journey of career exploration. I learned so many important kernels of wisdom about myself, and I learned to be proud of the parts of myself I was once insecure about. Going through her program changed my life. I feel new and revitalized, and actually placed on the right path."
- Lindsay Stanley, Workshop Attendee
"Nicole has hosted a couple of very well received workshops for the Happiness Planner, which has a global audience of over 164k followers. She has an invaluable perspective on life and career alignment. Her wealth of knowledge, interactive activities and attentiveness made her stand out. Our audience loved her refreshing approach!"
- Mo Seetubtim, Founder of The Happiness Planner
“This guidebook was eye opening. I was feeling a little stuck and unsure about my current career. Vekita Full Potential helped me realise all that was needed was a couple tweaks to my role. I am in the middle of making those changes and it feels like a huge weight off my shoulders. I am again reengaged and excited about my job.”
- Karen Jaffee, Vekita Full Potential User
