Introducing our first-ever Venture Capital Retreat.

An invitation-only experience co-created by I-AM-ESCAPE × @robincapital × @boris_bolz_guidance
designed to shape the next generation of leaders who will drive positive change in the world.

ROBIN × BORIS
Inside Before Outside.
A Founder’s Reflection Retreat.

One of the world’s Top 10 Solo GPs.
A CEO who became a Zen monk.
And our transformative space in the Austrian mountains.

Three forces coming together with one shared vision: to inspire a new generation of conscious leaders.
A journey from action to awareness.
From building companies to understanding ourselves.
From doing more to becoming more present.
An invitation to step away from the noise and ask yourself:
Who am I?
Why am I doing this?
What kind of leader—and person—do I want to become?

And yes, these questions can be dangerous for an investor.
But ultimately, this is about you.
Not your next funding round.
Not your valuation.
Not your company.
You.

Because building something bigger than yourself should never mean losing connection with who you are.
And changing the world starts with understanding yourself.

Eight founders. One circle of trust.
An invitation-only experience for Robin Capital members.

The Forest Gallery

@thoma_holz100 believes we should build houses like trees and cities like forests. Rooted in this belief, they built a house high above the Escape forest, on a 50-metre rock, using only five natural materials. A house never glued or screwed—only wood embracing wood—which preserves its resources for at least another two generations. Not a single tree had to be removed. Instead, it found its place and became part of the forest in a circle where everything returns:

Forest. Art. Architecture. Human intention.

Coming together in an Original I am Escape Story, where Erwin Thoma’s craftsmanship and Fabian Knecht’s artwork from our Artist in Residence Program invite us to immerse ourselves in a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.

What was once outside is now inside.

The resources remain.

The story continues.

DRIFT INTO PEACE
WITH A FLOATING MEDITATION

ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT — DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE!

WILD ROOTS BLOSSOM 🌿
August 6–9, 2026
@i_amescape, Austria

A guided meditation experience inviting you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and simply let go.

Floating gently on the water, supported by an airbed and guided by a calming voice, you enter a space of deep relaxation and inner presence, surrounded by a breathtaking landscape.

Through gentle breathing techniques and mindful awareness, the outside world begins to fade away — leaving space to arrive within yourself.

Guided with presence and care by Michaela Schmalzl, our collaborator for the Wild Roots Blossom retreat, the breath becomes a key — opening the door to inner landscapes, releasing what no longer serves you, and creating space for clarity, connection, and transformation.

A moment to drift away from the noise — and arrive within yourself.

Part of WILD ROOTS BLOSSOM, our four-day women’s retreat at I am Escape led by @kathrin_schluga
Yoga teacher and psychotherapist in training.

And this is only the beginning. Regular breathwork experiences with Michaela @gemma_atmen are coming soon to I am Escape every month.

It’s easy to see the perfect performance of an athlete.

What you don’t see is everything that happens before that perfect moment.

The pause. The reset. The connection. The inspiration. The play.

Because sometimes, to perform at your best, you need to escape from performance.

30 of the world’s top Red Bull athletes did exactly that at I AM ESCAPE.

Thanks @redbullaustria for choosing our stable and @birdiefy_events for the coolest organization

An I am Escape Original Retreat
THE POWER OF SILENCE

🗓️October 7th-11th, 2026
📍I am Escape
🌲 Austria

Success can get loud.

So loud that somewhere between the meetings, responsibilities, expectations, and constant decisions, you stop hearing the one voice that matters most:

your own.

You built the company.
You carried the pressure.
You became the person everyone relies on.

But who holds space for you?

The Power of Silence was created for founders, CEOs, creatives, leaders and mothers who have spent years performing on the outside while feeling increasingly disconnected on the inside.

This is not about escaping your life.

It’s about returning to yourself.

Together with @boris_bolz_guidance & @mavericktraining.nl Pieter Bulsink, you’ll enter a space designed to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover what has been waiting beneath the noise all along.

Not a break.

A breakthrough.

A calmer mind.
A clearer direction.
A stronger connection to yourself.
A small circle of people who understand the weight you carry.

You don’t leave as a new person.

You leave remembering who you’ve always been.

If you’re tired of being the strong one,
if you’ve outgrown the identity you once fought so hard to build,
if you’re ready to hear yourself again—
this is your invitation to join us
in the forest at @i_amescape

100 YEARS OF HUMAN EXPLORATION
MEET THE INFINITE AND BEYOND

At I-am-Escape, we honour humanity’s timeless drive to explore and the stories of adventurers who travelled the world in search of answers.

There are many continents and countries to discover — and now, many planets calling us forward.

Yet the deeper we explore, the clearer it becomes: home is not just a place on a map, but a legacy we carry with us.

From forests to mountains, from deserts to the Moon and beyond, exploration is not about leaving home behind — it is about understanding it better.

To celebrate this spirit of discovery, we hold an extraordinary evening

“Forest to Moon & Back” Dinner

where 100 years of human exploration on Earth met the future of exploration beyond it.

Evening highlights:
🚀 The Tardigrade Moonbike Explorer, presented exclusively at I-am-Escape
🏍 A curated selection of historic motorcycles in an exclusive preview before their online auction on Classic-Trader
🌲 A NASA-inspired 5-course dinner by starred Chef Max Perdacher.

I-am-Escape
Exploring the unknown to find what matters. 🚀🌕🌲

What is a Mystery Dinner?

An immersive Mystery Dinner that brings together unknown people around the same table, where nothing is as it seems.

This is not just dinner.
It’s an Escape Original interactive dining experience, and a journey into the unknown for 20 selected guests.

A five-course fine dining menu becomes the stage for clues: a ticking bomb, a stolen F1 car, a lost castle.

Guests step into a perfectly orchestrated adventure, guided by actors through a story that unfolds course by course.

By torchlight, guests explore an ancient castle, piecing together the mystery as they move through its hidden corners.

Sign up to our newsletter to take part to the next Mystery Dinner.

Wann hast du dich das letzte Mal wirklich lebendig gefühlt?

Nicht im Kopf
nicht im Funktionieren
sondern wirklich da
in deinem Körper
bei dir

Viele Menschen funktionieren im Alltag einfach weiter
und verlieren dabei den Kontakt zu sich selbst
Genau darum geht es hier
Ein Raum, in dem du aufhörst, dich zusammenzureißen
und wieder bei dir ankommst

Into the Depths bedeutet, unter die Oberfläche zu gehen

unter das Funktionieren
unter die Kontrolle
zurück zu dir

2.–5. Juli | I-am-Escape
Österreich

When was the last time you truly felt alive?

Not in your head
not just functioning
but really there
in your body
with yourself

Many people keep going
and slowly lose connection to themselves

This is what this retreat is about
A space where you stop holding everything together
and come back to yourself

Into the Depths means going beneath the surface
beyond control
beyond constant doing
back to you

July 2–5 | I-am-Escape

A personal story is just a story — until you share it. That’s what multiplies the value of everything.

I-am-Escape Original is our core project — a series of original retreats that reveal the deep meaning of this place through its people.

Stories of success, pain, burnout and healing — became stories of soul.
Each one revealing the power of transformation.

These are the People of Escape.

A CEO who became a Zen monk.
A serial killer survivor who became a life guide.
An athlete who now trains resilience for NASA, Navy Seals and F1 Drivers.
A fashion designer who heals through therapy.
A lawyer who cooks meals for Olympic gold.
A woman who returned home — to herself.

They had so much to share that their stories became five meaningful Escape original retreats.

I-am-Escape is a space you can rent for your own life-enriching retreats —or where we help you bring your retreat vision to life.

Follow us for the upcoming Retreats in 2026.

Next upcoming retreat:
The Power of Silence
