COVID Protocol

We will be convening indoors for two days as a large group during winter months. To protect ourselves, our families, and our loved ones, we are requiring the following for all guests:

• Proof of vaccination (photo sent to Zach Lieberman ahead of the Retreat)
• Rapid COVID test taken between 4:00pm Tue. 1/25/22 to 4:00pm Wed. 1/26/22

FAQ

Who can attend?

The retreat is open to all Netcito members and alumni. New members are welcome to join as long as they have been accepted to a group as a provisional or full members.

Why Rehoboth Beach?

The vast majority of Netcito members are currently located in Philadelphia and Washington DC. Rehoboth Beach is approximately equidistant from both cities and provides access to the natural beauty of the Atlantic Coast along with access to good restaurants and comfortable accommodations.

What should I bring?

Bring warm clothes suitable for walking on the beach in cold winter weather. Come as you are for working sessions with comfortable clothing. Rehoboth Beach restaurants are very casual and also come as you are.

A personal note from Peter:

We hosted the last Netcito Retreat in 2016 and are resuming this annual tradition after a 5-year hiatus. I suspended the retreat because it just wasn't feeling right. Our prior retreats focused on a more linear, conceptual approach that was oriented around planning in terms of OKRs and SMART goals. While these frameworks were useful, they didn't adequately convey the power of personal connection and intuitive alignment that lies at the heart of Netcito.

This year's retreat will mark the 6th official Netcito Retreat. Jamey and I started with a simple question: "What kind of retreat would be irresistible for us to attend?" We came up with a few key principles:

• Create an opportunity for Netcito members to connect with each other, gain perspective, and generate inner alignment that leads to powerful outcomes.
• Develop exercises that tap into our intuition, which can be far more powerful than our intellect when it comes to thinking about events over long time scales.
• Build in lots of free time for connection and fun.
• Choose a place that will enable us to escape our habitual environment, connect with nature, and gain perspective.
• Find accommodations that provide lots of cozy, welcoming spaces for Netcito members to connect with each other.

With this retreat, we have finally found an approach that we are genuinely excited to experience ourselves and share with the Netcito community. We are eagerly looking forward to a time of warmth, reconnection, laughter, and rejuvenation. We hope that you'll join us!
