Get back to being human again!

A unique debut of a beyond-5-star experience,
on a private island in Panama.

Brian Sanders from Peak Human and the Sapien Team present “Back to Human” an exclusive interactive community retreat on Pearl Island in Panama.

Back to Human is nothing like any other retreat in the world.

  • PURE FUN AND CHALLENGE

    Action-packed schedule of being outdoors and moving your body in this pristine environment.

Become a true Sapien

Prepare to be amazed. We won’t be doing the standard ‘retreat’ activities. There is no lecture theatre. You will be enjoying the natural environment around you, while your hosts Brian and Drako lead you through a journey of what it is like to be a true Sapien.

You will build relationships and form kindred connections with other like-minded Sapiens that will last you a lifetime.

Learn valuable skills, grow as a person, and connect with Brian and Drako from the Sapien movement.

What is a Sapien?

Sapien is a movement to set things right, outside of politics, government, or religion. The community brings like-minded people together, and a body of living knowledge that contains a closer truth about how we not only stay healthy in life, but how we can develop ourselves to thrive and create, like the wild humans we are.

Let’s reconnect and rebuild.

The modern world around us increasingly disconnects us from the natural world. Our human nature seems diminished in the face of the industries and technologies that we have built to make our lives more comfortable. The quality of our food is getting worse, people around us are becoming more stressed and less healthy, our social environment is deteriorating and we know that this is not the natural state of being human. We need a respite; a space to connect with others who know there is a better way and want to do something about it in their own lives.
