Programs by Barbara Kitane

When strategist and convenor Barbara Kitane designs a retreat, it is never just about stepping away — it’s about stepping into clarity, creativity, and renewal. Through her work at Ampersand Design Think Lab, retravel, and With Meraki, Kitane has created a portfolio of programs that meet people and organizations where they are: from the need for a personal reset to the call for systemic transformation.

Each retreat blends reflective practice, expressive creativity, and regenerative frameworks, set against the backdrop of nature, culture, and community. The result: not therapy, not vacation, but something in between — an intentional pause to design the future from a place of renewal."

Across all tiers, Barbara brings a rare lens: merging business or personal clarity, cultural creativity, and sustainability strategy into retreats that restore people while equipping them to shape futures.

As she puts it:

“Living well is an art — and retreats are where we practice it together.”
