Shona Reset
Shona Reset 2026
We want to help you set your year up for success with a total reset, the Strive way.
From January 29th - February 1st, disconnect fully, reset your rhythms, and set powerful intentions for the year ahead.
Join your fellow Strivers on Eilean Shona, Vanessa Branson’s private island , where rugged coastline, ancient woodland, and Atlantic horizons set the stage for deep renewal. Hike heather-clad hills and hidden coves, breathe the sharp January air, and immerse yourself in guided practices with world-leading experts to clear the mind, strengthen the body, and restore the spirit. Savour nourishing seasonal meals, gather fireside for reflection, and rest each night in the island’s cozy cottages, cocooned from the modern world. Equal parts stillness, movement, clarity, and connection—this is a chance to begin the year grounded, present, inspired and fully energised.
Example Day:
Pre breakfast - optional hike to hilltop summit, followed by cold plunge & sauna
Breakfast
Late morning - wilderness walk, sea kayaking and picnic lunch
Afternoon - immersive wellbeing practise led by expert guide
Early evening - fireside reflections & intention setting
Dinner
Early bed
