(Scroll down to view nature, hotel & dining locations)
Hello to our Light DAO Community & New Friends:
We are delighted to invite you to something truly special—a weekend of connection, inspiration, and joyful renewal on the breathtaking San Francisco coast.
This is more than a nature getaway—it’s an intimate, curated gathering of visionary founders, investors, and culture shapers who care deeply about conscious leadership, regenerative impact, and personal growth. Together, we’ll unwind, spark new collaborations, and envision bigger possibilities for the world we are shaping.
After the resounding success of our recent Dominican Republic Summit—where 55 global leaders formed deep friendships and launched powerful collaborations—we knew we had to bring that magic to the Bay Area.
Timed perfectly just before HumanTech Week, this retreat offers the perfect container to drop in, connect, and replenish before the big HTW gathering begins.
