FAQ

Questions we hear most often

Which regions of Kenya does the Breakaway journey cover?

Breakaway typically arcs from the Maasai Mara to Laikipia and onward to the Kenyan coast or Lamu archipelago, ensuring guests experience distinct ecosystems and cultures.

Is wellness programming included alongside art direction?

Yes. Daily breathwork, meditations, spa rituals, and slow movement practices are woven between studio blocks so the nervous system has ample time to integrate.

How large are the groups for the week-long itinerary?

We cap Breakaway at twelve guests with a lead artist, assistant facilitators, and local collaborators so each traveller receives attentive mentorship and hospitality.

Can I extend the trip with a partner or family member?

We can design pre- or post-journey add-ons for partners or families—think Mara safari stays, beach villas, or philanthropic site visits—while keeping the core retreat intimate.
