Retreat Schedule

The Five-Day Arc

Day One

Arrival + Intention

Participants land, settle into the property, and let the week begin slowly. Evening brings a welcome reception, introductions, an opening dinner, and the intentions that shape everything that follows.

Days Two Through Four

The Working Days

Mornings are the Human Advantage leadership experience led by Kelly Stickel, with Frequency Navigation and the AI Use Case Lab carried across the three days. Afternoons are personalized wellness, nature, and individual integration time. Evenings are chef-prepared meals and fireside reflection.

Day Five

Integration + Departure

A closing session to turn the week into commitments. Each participant finalizes a 90-day action plan, shares it with the cohort, and leaves with a roadmap rather than a notebook of ideas.

Inside the Working Days

Next Generation Leadership

What leadership requires in an AI-powered world, how leaders create value beyond technology, which human capabilities matter more as AI advances, and how to lead through uncertainty.

Frequency Navigation

Awareness, alignment, energy, and decision-making. Participants look at where they are currently operating, what is creating friction, what needs to shift, and how to lead with greater clarity.

AI Use Case Lab

Current challenges, business opportunities, workflow improvement, and human plus AI collaboration. Each participant leaves with a practical AI opportunity roadmap for their organization.

Long-Term Vision

The Human Advantage Institute

The Montana Experience is the first expression of a larger vision: a place where leaders come to think differently, lead differently, work differently, and live with greater clarity. It brings together Women2Watch, The Human Advantage, Frequency Navigation, Deeper Tissues, and Montana itself.

In a World Increasingly Powered by Artificial Intelligence, the Greatest Advantage Remains Human
