Spring Retreat - SOLD OUT!

Our debut spring retreat was a huge succes – we hosted professionals from companies including Kayak, Victor private jets, Beckley Retreats, Nemo Travel, Private Luxury Events, Global Hotel Alliance, Queer Edge and the Aerial BVI private island resort.

Charged with crisp mountain air, together we navigated the industry’s most pressing challenges and charted a course towards tomorrow’s Brave New World.

Jenny Southan, Globetrender editor, founder and CEO, says: “We believe that one conversation can change your life – or the direction of your business. But we need to be in an environment that invites us to shift from 'small talk' to 'deep talk'.”



Enrichment:

Hands-on Workshops: Trend forecasting and future scenario planning in Juvet's light-filled conference cube.

Creative Catalysts: Observational drawing, riverside sauna and hot tub, and cold water plunges in the river.

Curated Conversations: Moderated Jeffersonian dinners for meaningful exchange.



Experiences:

Outdoor Micro-Adventures: Experience stunning Norwegian forests, waterfalls and rivers on scenic hikes. (Beginner level.)

Nordic Hospitality: Eat hyper-local Norwegian cuisine; drink locally made cider, gin and whisky; and enjoy fireside chats.

Purposeful Connections: Build relationships with peers in the travel industry and beyond.



Accommodation:

There are 7 Landscape Cabins; 2 Bird Houses (with beds accessible via ladder); and 2 bedrooms in the Writer's Lodge. All are single occupancy.

Each Landscape Cabin (black inside and out) is a masterpiece of minimalist architecture, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass windows that frame the surrounding forests, mountains and river.

The smaller Bird Houses offer serenity and focus. The two-bedroom Writer's Lodge is a more social option with a shared living room, bathroom, kitchen and outdoor terrace.

Accommodation will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.



Norwegian Expertise:

Our Norway retreat is facilitated by expert luxury travel curator Up Norway, which provides local expertise and travel concierge services, as well as help co-ordinate the extra-curricular activities.

The team is also available to tailor bolt-on holidays for all attendees on request.

Juvet's owner Kristina Slinning and her team bring extensive experience hosting international executives and creative leaders, from film crews and Hollywood actors to C-suite teams.
