Winter Retreat
MAR 5-8, 2026
About
Join 29029 for our first Winter Retreat, an all-inclusive experience designed to help you elevate your mindset, movement, and recovery as you prepare to conquer new goals in 2026.
This March, we’ll take over The Resort at Paws Up — 37,000 acres of pristine Montana wilderness — for four days of intentional movement, focused recovery, and deep connection.
Challenge yourself with invigorating outdoor adventures, cold plunges in the Blackfoot River, and saunas on its banks. Refine your approach to endurance with expert-led recovery sessions, group yoga, mobility work, and guided meditation.
Each day blends purposeful effort with restoration, ending in fireside chats, community connection, and reflection. You’ll leave recharged, refocused, and ready to take on 2026 with clarity and confidence.
This exclusive 4-day, 3-night retreat offers the perfect reset and recharge to set your foundation for the year ahead.

Renew Your purpose
This retreat is designed for those ready to take on big goals—the kind that require clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Each day blends guided wellness practices, invigorating outdoor efforts, and uplifting community moments. You’ll recover, reset, and strengthen your mindset—while embracing new adventures in true 29029 spirit, surrounded by others committed to leveling up in the year ahead.
Our home: a 5-Star, 2 Michelin Key resort set within 37,000 acres of pristine Montana wilderness—an unparalleled backdrop for both deep restoration and meaningful preparation for the goals waiting for you in 2026.
The Next 29029 Journey
At 29029, we know we are shaped by the people we surround ourselves with. With this retreat, the tribe that climbs mountains and conquers trails together now gathers beyond the summit—united in the pursuit of deeper connection.
In Montana, winter itself becomes a teacher—grounding, restorative, and transformative. Our home, Paws Up, has been described as “the perfect marriage of incomparable luxury and unspoiled wilderness" that "sets the bar for a luxury wilderness experience.”
Step away from the noise of daily life and immerse yourself in stillness, free from distractions, obligations, and routine. Rediscover clarity, reconnect with yourself on a deeper level, and return home stronger, more present, and prepared to conquer your next Everest.

RETREAT LEADERS
Voice of the Mountain Colleen Rue, and 29029 Head Coach Brent Pease will lead this retreat. Enjoy expert-led sessions on a range of recovery topics including Sleep Optimization (Dr. Trisha Smith), Hydration Optimization (Lexi Kelson), and Boosting Resilience (Coach Dawn Fletcher).
SLEEP EXPERT - DR. TRISHA SMITH
Unlock the power of sleep with our expert-led session on rest and recovery. Discover how quality sleep impacts daily performance, athletic recovery, and overall health. Learn the science behind sleep cycles, circadian rhythms, and their crucial role in physical restoration, mental clarity, and immune function. Our sleep specialist will provide practical, evidence-based strategies to optimize your sleep environment, bedtime routines, and habits. Leave with actionable takeaways to transform your nights and enhance every aspect of your waking life through better rest.
HYDRATION EXPERT - LEXI KELSON
Most people ignore sweat loss during exercise, but it's crucial for performance. Sodium loss varies dramatically—up to 15 times between individuals, ranging from 200mg to 2,000mg per liter. This genetic variation means one-size-fits-all hydration fails. We're offering Sweat Tests requiring no blood work, treadmill running, or lab waits. Simply sit comfortably and receive your Personalized Hydration Strategy. The test accurately measures your sodium loss, which remains stable after infancy—typically one lifetime test optimizes your performance hydration forever.
RECOVERY EXPERT - DAWN FLETCHER
Join recovery expert Dawn Fletcher for an essential session on optimizing your body's restoration. Discover science-driven strategies for stress relief in daily life and intense training periods. Learn the benefits of contrast therapy—alternating between sauna heat and cold plunge—to enhance circulation and reduce inflammation. Dawn will guide you through effective stretching techniques and practical recovery tools you can seamlessly integrate into your routine. Whether you're an athlete or simply seeking better resilience, leave with actionable methods to accelerate recovery and boost overall performance.
FUEL FOR YOUR NEXT GOAL
Each day offers a choose-your-own mix of activities designed to fuel big goals. Mornings start with yoga and meditation to ground your body, sharpen focus, and build intentionality. Expert-led sessions cover sleep, breathwork, and mindfulness—tools that strengthen recovery and resilience.
Optional hikes invite you to move with purpose, build confidence, and connect with others. Between efforts, we'll gather around campfires for simple moments of connection and reflection.
To reset, you’ll experience the Blackfoot River cold plunge and riverside sauna—a powerful ritual to renew both body and mind.
