Why is it worth my time?
This retreat offers the most valuable thing that most modern people are missing: a space to slow down and fully turn off.
In a Scientific sense, it's a Dopamine Reset to lengthen your attention span.
In a Business sense, it's a Recalibration to continue to perform without burning out.
In a Psychological sense, it's a time to Re-connect with your inner joy and creativity.
In busy modern life, the most rare and precious thing is…
A space to breathe.
Non-transactional conversations.
An environment where you don’t have to do anything or be someone you’re not.
If you are feeling burnt out, at a difficult transition point, or simply want a deep refresh- don’t put it off any longer.
Not sure what to expect? Good.
You’ll be happy you came.
Why now?
What is everyone saying?

Leszek R., Senior App Dev, Woven by Toyota & Iron John Academy Founder
I joined the retreat at the end of a busy workweek, at a moment when my weekend plans were flexible and my mind was clearly overdue for a reset.
I hesitated because I had very little idea of what to expect. There was no fixed schedule and not even a rough sense of how the experience would feel. I knew it would be about disconnecting, and I had seen a few photos of people farming, but not much beyond that.
What finally pushed me off the fence was a single, almost absurd detail. The possibility that “there may be a wild boar this time” was enough to make me pack my bag and go.
What followed was raw, grounding, and surprisingly intimate.
I loved the camaraderie that formed naturally, and the way the activities connected us to basic elements: the fire of the BBQ, soil clinging to freshly harvested vegetables, the weight and reality of raw boar meat, and the sound of waves crashing at sunrise.
Being without screens did not feel like deprivation. It felt like removing a filter and experiencing the world without mediation.
Some moments stood out in particular: learning how traditional Japanese architecture prevents soil erosion, the long conversations around the fire, and yes, the boar. More than anything, the retreat turned out to be an unexpected and unforgettable adventure.
I would recommend it because experiences like this create space for people to slow down, reconnect, and often discover something important about themselves. Thank you, Levi. -

“I had the chance to join Levi’s very first Digital Detox Retreat, and it was an unforgettable experience.
At first, I wasn’t sure about spending three days outside the city with people I didn’t know, but Levi took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt safe and comfortable before the trip.
During the retreat, everything was so well organized that we could truly relax and focus on self-reflection, spiritual activities, farming, and barbecuing. He even took my fear of insects into account, which showed how much care and thought he put into every detail to make sure everyone had the best experience possible.
After three days away from screens and city life, I felt more confident and grounded. I discovered a lot about myself and came back feeling calmer and less stressed.
I really recommend this retreat to anyone living in a busy city like Tokyo who needs time to recharge and reconnect.” -

Fede Ponce, Director, Woven by Toyota
“When I met Levi, I had been operating at a high level in my career, but somewhere along the way, I had lost connection with myself. Endless meetings, constant performance. I didn’t realize how exhausted I was until Levi invited me into something radical: a retreat with no agenda only presence.
No pitches. No posturing. Just people, soil, silence, firelight, and the slow unfolding of truth.
Levi has an unmatched gift for curating spaces where masks fall away and human connection becomes possible again. In the retreat he led in Chiba, I rediscovered parts of myself I’d buried creativity, stillness, even joy. I touched the earth with my bare feet and remembered who I was before burnout, before titles. And I watched others do the same.
What sets Levi apart isn’t just his wisdom or kindness it’s his integrity. He leads quietly, through example. He listens deeply. He builds safety not with words, but with consistency. And somehow, by the end of the weekend, a room full of strangers felt like family.
If you’re a high-achiever navigating stress, disconnection, or just a quiet yearning for more, Levi is someone you need to meet. Whether through a retreat, coaching, or a single conversation, he doesn’t just offer transformation. He offers remembrance.
Of who you are. Of what matters. Of how to feel alive again.
Levi is not just a coach. He’s a builder of humans.
I cannot recommend him enough.” -

Alonzo Tomohiko Anderson, Front-End Developer
It was such a pleasure to attend Levi's Retreat.
During the retreat, Levi allowed me to unlock and reveal some things within myself I needed to work on.
The fireside chats we had were moments that were truly fulfilling for me. I was able to explore and dive deep into parts of myself that I tucked away for such a long time.
If you are an individual that is in need to reset and detox, attending Levi's Retreat will refresh your mind, body, spirit and soul.
I cannot express how much I recommend Levi's retreat.
Attending his retreat could potentially be life-changing for you as it was for me. So do yourself a favor and join Levi's retreat.
I promise that you won't regret it! 😁 -

Nanako Aramaki, Certified Sound Therapist | Wellness Coach | Ex Agency COO
“I recently joined a private coach's retreat run by Levi in the countryside of Chiba. The location was a dream, the activities were fun and the people were lovely. I learned a lot about myself and how far I've come in my healing journey through the various activities.
Levi is a kind, gentle soul, and his calm demeanour and empathetic approach to coaching helped us to open up relatively early on in the retreat. I felt guided by his soothing voice - perfect for guided group meditations.
He planned enough that there was some structure to the days, but he also left enough flexibility for organic spontaneity - while gently reminding us to notice the small things and reflect throughout the day. There is something special and unique about self discovery in a group setting, and I recommend experiencing one of his retreats if you are looking for personal growth in a safe and fun environment.” -

Aniketh Nair, Executive Recruiter
I decided to join Levi’s retreat as I just quit my job and thought it would be a good chance to take a break from the city.
I particularly enjoyed the boar and farming activities, you don’t often get to do this in the city.
Ayako-san and the community made me realize what’s beyond the city life and changed my perspective of the “Inaka”.
I’d recommend the retreat to anyone looking to take a break from the city life and recharge. -

Nina Gamell Ph.D. Coach and Lecturer, Temple University
My retreat experience with Levi felt like a big exhale.
I felt deeply held, comforted, and safe in his guidance and presence.
Life can get so busy that it’s hard to step away from the to-do lists and constant mind chatter, but during the retreat, Levi guided us into moments of deeper awareness.
I hadn’t realized how much I needed a space to simply be —and to be surrounded by a supportive, loving community.
I wholeheartedly recommend Levi’s retreat to anyone who is looking to reconnect, recharge, and meet like-minded souls.

It depends on which retreat option.
My intro-level community farming retreats are 1-hour express train from Tokyo Station in Ichinomiya, Chiba.
We also hold retreats at the oceanfront venue in the video. Located in Katsuura, Chiba.
There will be other retreat options around Japan starting in 2026. -
It depends on which retreat, but in general about 20-25,000 JPY per day including all expenses (accomodation, food, activities), besides transport to the venue.
-
Generally, the retreats are small groups of 4-6 people. This is to ensure a special experience.
However, depending on the event we can accomodate 10+ or even larger corporate 20-25ppl tours/offsite experiences. -
Yes! You are welcome to bring your partner. As long as your relationship is solid, this will only deepen it. I am not a marriage counselor so don’t come to try to fix anyone else.
No kids allowed on retreats to ensure adults have a deep experience, but there may be farm visits opportunities for families too. -
