A resort is where you go to have it all.
A retreat is where you go to get away from it all.
Engelbrecht House is a retreat, not a resort.

"Michele Miller’s ‘Marketing to Women’ seminar is an opportunity our industry should not overlook. I will be there, and am planning to bring several of my staff. I anticipate that what we learn there, in terms of marketing and messaging to our industry’s #1 consumer, will factor into each of our future marketing and branding decisions.”

Wizard Academy in Austin, TX
Denny House

The Wizard Academy was started in 2000 as a "21st Century Business School." Located just outside of Austin, Texas on a beautiful campus amidst rolling hills, the Academy feels more like a retreat center.

Their name is based upon the concept of a wise-ard or wise man. "A person who gathers information so that he or she might be able to give good advice at critical times is a wise-ard, or wizard. The insights they provide might seem like magic, but they're merely the result of careful investigation fueled by curiosity."

"Like a 5-star hotel, tropical paradise, and TED conference all in one."
