— WORKING GROUPS
A Place for Meaningful Collaboration
Avocado Bliss hosts small, intentional gatherings for leadership teams, creative cohorts, and facilitated workshops.
When you step away from conference rooms and constant distraction, something shifts. The work deepens. The conversations become more honest. The group leaves more aligned.

Better Thinking Happens in Aligned Environments

Something shifts when people step away from conference rooms, packed schedules, and constant distraction.
At Avocado Bliss, shared meals and natural surroundings create space for deeper thinking, more honest conversation, and stronger creative collaboration. There’s no agenda competing for attention. No interruptions. No pressure to perform.
Groups often leave feeling more connected to each other and clearer about the work in front of them.
The setting does part of the work. The rest is up to you.
— WHAT GROUP RESIDENCIES LOOK LIKE
Small Groups,
Meaningful Work.
Avocado Bliss is designed for intimate gatherings—4 to 12 people—where everyone can contribute, be heard, and do real work together.
This isn't a conference. This isn't networking. This is focused, collaborative work in an environment that supports depth instead of distraction.

— THE EXPERIENCE
Thoughtfully Hosted from Beginning to End
When you bring a group to Avocado Bliss, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the work.
-
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared daily using ingredients from our regenerative farm. Dietary accommodations handled. Your group gathers, eats well, and returns to work nourished.
-
Indoor and outdoor workspaces for group sessions, breakout conversations, and solo reflection. Move between spaces as your agenda requires.
-
Walk the orchard between sessions. Hold walking discussions. Sit by the pool. The land creates breathing room between focused work.
-
Private areas for solo work, writing, or preparation. Not every moment needs to be collaborative.
-
You set the schedule. Intensive morning sessions. Reflective afternoons. Evening conversations. Rest when your group needs it. We serve meals around your agenda.
We don’t facilitate your sessions—but we create the container that allows your work to happen.

What Our Guests Say
-
"The space is beautiful and we appreciated having a kitchen, the saltwater hot tub, and being able to walk around the grove. Great sunset views and super relaxing."
Leadership Retreat
-
"The farm tucked away in the hills is vibrant and gorgeous. They cooked delicious food for us all weekend sourced from local regenerative farmers. And the facilities were wonderful; bedrooms and bathrooms were so nice and clean. And the view was incredible. To top it all off, their outdoor kitten was very cute. Highly recommend for group getaways or retreats!"
Board Retreat
-
"This farm was both absolutely stunning and so comfortable for our group. Everyone had their own comfortable space, and we had several places to gather together - around the table, at the pool, on the front porch...it made for such a connective, beautiful weekend. We can't wait to return!"
