purpose quest

APRIL 19 -21, 2024

with Dan Fotopoulos & Ariana Novak

You have a unique set of gifts.

You have things that set your soul ablaze.

Where your passions and gifts intersect is where your purpose lives.

The more you align your life with your purpose the more alive you will feel.

This is the work we will do on the purpose quest.

We will align your life with your purpose.

And then set course.

This retreat is a pause to remember the self that lives within you

The self that is constantly longing for your attention.

This retreat will call upon you to expand your range and remember that you are limitless.

Our time together is designed to move stagnant energy and then provide clarity.

Join Dan and Ari for a rich introspective two and a half days!

What’s included:

  • 2 nights accommodations

  • Farm to table brunch, snacks, and dinner

  • Time in nature to connect with the land

  • Movement experiences

  • A campfire night

  • All workshop content & experiences

  • Quiet time

  • 1:1 sessions with Ariana & Dan to spend time specifically with your purpose

What’s not included:

  • Commute to and from the retreat

What you need to know:

  • This quest is yours if:

    • You don’t feel fulfilled where you are

    • You’re interested in learning about who you are and what drives you

    • You don’t know what your gifts are

    • You’re ready to transition but don’t know what’s next

    • You aren’t getting what you want

    • Things aren’t working

    • Life feels meaningless and effortful

    • You rarely feel alive and excited

    • You’re settling

    • You feel it’s valuable and important to learn about yourself

    • You’re ready to be in a badass community

    This quest is not:

    • A weekend of pampering and relaxation (we have other retreats for that)

    • A friend’s or bachelorette getaway

  • A Tool Kit

    During this time, you will intentionally cultivate the tools you need. You’ll leave this experience with practices you can use in your everyday life to bring you back to the things that make you feel alive and vibrant.

    A Kula

    Community is the key to personal growth, accountability and healing. You'll be sharing these powerful experiences together in joint solitude. The people in this retreat could become lifetime friends and powerful resources.

    A Compass

    We waste too much time spinning in indecision and confusion. These 4 days are a time to silence your whole world, make everything about you so that you can get clear on your own wants and needs.

    An experience

    How often do you take the time to put the people pleasing aside and do something that is just for you? Well this is it! A time to be with your most authentic self and celebrate that beautiful soul inside of you.

  • Your quest will begin Friday April 19th at 4 PM.

    Your quest will end Sunday April 21st at 4PM.

    Each day will begin at 9 AM and end at 7 PM with breaks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

  • We will be on a 23 acre property outside of Flesherton (about 1 hour from Collingwood) at a beautiful rustic cottage.

  • $1,100+HST

    If you come with someone and plan to share a bed a $250 discount will be applied.

    This retreat is non-redundable.

questions & answers

questions & answers

  • None - just your curiosity and openness to step outside of your everyday life is needed.

  • Yes! There is. Our bodies is one of our greatest tools to access self-insight and connect with our selves deeply.

    However - we meet you where you’re at. Meaning you don’t have to be at any strength or physical fitness level in order to attend and participate fully.

  • This training will teach you tools to navigate your everyday life. This training mixes modalities of both physically accessing the bodies wisdom as well as life coaching.

    This training isn’t just a nice experience for 3 days or a quick getaway to feel better but it’s about doing exercises that will have a lasting impact on where you’re headed next and what the course of your life will be.

    You’ll have a chance to be coached -we’ll spend time finding your truth - not the truth of others or what you think you should be doing but your own authentic unique truth.

    You’ll have a chance to look at your shadows and the parts of you that hold you back from living a BIG extraordinary life.

  • This retreat is capped at 8 spots because we want to be able to spend 1:1 time with each person guiding them into a deeply personal experience for this purpose work.

about your leaders

Both of your quest leaders have had different journeys to align their lives with their own unique souls purpose and can offer different tools

  • Ariana has been in the self help industry for the past 10 years. She embarked on her quest to find her purpose through the teachings of yoga at Kripalu where she apprenticed at Kripalu for years learning from some of the best. She then went on to refine her technique of helping others access their purpose through life coaching. Ariana is a two times certified life coach. And more recently has spent her time training in somatic and understanding how to access the bodies wisdom.

    Ariana wishes for more people to really know their natural born gifts and then to share them with a world that needs them.


  • Dan has been 'doing the work' for the past 10 years. Dan is someone who loves to create safe containers, so that we can fully lean into our hearts, and share our truest gifts with the world. Craving connection, Dan has always been a seeker of conscious communities - and when in doubt, will often say "If you can't find the community, create it!". Dan co-owned and co-created Hustl & Flow in 2019, founded the KW Men's Growth Collective in 2020, and co-founded Everlove in 2021. Dan has made it his personal mission to level-up what it means to be a man in today's world - and inspire as many other humans along the way.

    Dan has attended many retreats and self-growth programs across North-America over the past 10 years, most recently completing a vision-fast rite of passage, 'Compass', spending 4 days, 4 nights, alone in the wilderness with no food and no shelter. Dan believes nature, breathe, and movement are all ways to access our 'flow' state to allow for deep-downloads of wisdom.

    During retreat, you can expect that Dan will hold a sacred container, foster laughter, connection, and safety for all those willing to show-up for their own growth journeys.
