What’s Really Missing from Your Transition Plan?

  Exit strategy? ✓ Your lawyers handled it perfectly.
  Financial plan? ✓ Your wealth advisor has you covered.
  Travel bucket list? ✓ You’ve already booked Italy for spring.

But here’s what’s probably NOT in your plan: The metabolic reset and clarity breakthrough that makes everything else worth doing.

Most executives spend months planning their exit and zero days planning their biology for the next 30 years.

The 5-Day Vision Quest Jumpstart changes that.

This isn’t a wellness retreat. It’s the catalyst experience that triggers your longevity clock—and shows you exactly what’s possible when you stop optimizing companies and start optimizing yourself.

The Question You Keep Asking Yourself

“Can I really figure out what’s next? And will my body actually hold up for the adventures I’m planning?”

You’ve spent 30+ years executing at the highest level. You know how to deliver results under pressure. You know how to think strategically.

But here’s what nobody tells you about executive transitions: The hardest part isn’t leaving the title behind. It’s discovering what you’re building toward, not just what you’re walking away from.

And you can’t think your way to that answer. You have to metabolically reset your way there.

The 5-Day Vision Quest Jumpstart gives you both: the cellular voltage reboot your mitochondria are begging for AND the clarity breakthrough that only happens at altitude, while fasting, in profound silence.

What Makes This Different from Every Executive Wellness Program

Real Challenge, Not Corporate Wellness Theater

• 2 high-altitude training hikes to volcanic peaks (approaching 13,800 feet)
• Live off-grid in Hawaii’s rainforest sanctuary (limited electricity, no WiFi in some areas)
• One 24-48 hour fast (plus OMAD throughout—one meal a day)
• SCENAR electrotherapy (2 vertebra sessions for bioelectrical voltage restoration)
• Ashtanga yoga practice (5 sessions: 7am x3, 5pm x2)—making this a true yoga retreat Big Island style: not gentle stretching, real practice
• DreamWeaver session included (vibroacoustic sound table, sacred geometry, consciousness work) + optional 2nd session for $250
• Hands-on sustainability overview: off-grid systems, food cultivation, longevity living

This is strategic discomfort that leads to breakthrough—not another retreat with spa robes and motivational speakers.

Metabolic Reset, Not Relaxation

You’ll leave lighter (5-8 pounds as a side benefit, not the goal), sharper (fasting enhances executive function dramatically), energized (phenomenal energy and clarity reset), and purposeful (you’ll have your breakthrough moment).

Wellness weekends make you feel good for a week. The Vision Quest Jumpstart triggers autophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis—the cellular mechanisms that determine whether you thrive or decline for the next 30 years.

Science + Consciousness + Practical Skills

Benedick is a former GE engineer who’s also deeply mystical—and practically grounded. You get:

• Data-driven metabolic optimization: Cellular voltage assessment, mitochondrial protocols, SCENAR electrotherapy for bioelectrical field restoration
• Consciousness expansion: DreamWeaver session (vibroacoustic sound table experience, altered states at altitude)
• Sustainable longevity skills: Off-grid living overview, starter protocols you can implement at home

Perfect for analytical minds ready to explore beyond the boardroom—but with the same rigor you applied to business.

Expert Guidance from Someone Who Lives It

You’re not learning from a 30-year-old influencer. Benedick is 74 years old, jogs regularly, practices Ashtanga yoga daily, does construction work with his hands, and fasts routinely.

He’s a former GE engineer who built his own off-grid sanctuary. He grows his own food. He lives the longevity lifestyle he teaches—not as theory, but as daily embodied practice for decades.

That’s the proof.

The 5-Day Catalyst Timeline

Day 1 – Arrival and Activation

• Afternoon arrival: Settle into off-grid rainforest sanctuary
• OMAD protocol begins (one meal a day—your metabolic switch starts flipping)
• Evening orientation: Meet Benedick, understand the science of what’s about to happen
• First night off-grid: No WiFi. No notifications. Just rainforest sounds and the beginning of your reset.

Your nervous system starts unwinding. Your body starts remembering what real hunger signals feel like. The corporate noise begins to fade.

Day 2 – First Summit and Metabolic Shift

• 7am Ashtanga yoga session (the real practice, not hotel yoga)
• First high-altitude training hike: Ascend toward volcanic peaks (approaching 13,800 feet)
• Thin air. Altered consciousness. The first glimpse of what’s possible beyond the title.
• OMAD continues (your body is learning to access stored energy)
• First SCENAR session: Bioelectrical voltage restoration along the vertebra
• Evening integration: Process what happened at altitude

Many executives cry at the summit—not from exhaustion, from AWE. This is where the cognitive shift begins. The performance identity you’ve carried? It starts dissolving in the thin air. What remains is clearer.

Day 3 – The Fast Begins and Deepening

• 24-48 hour fast begins after your Day 2 meal (if you choose 48 hours, you’ll break fast on Day 5)
• 7am Ashtanga yoga (fasted—you’ll discover you’re stronger than you think)
• DreamWeaver session: The spiritual retreat Hawaii element that bridges science and consciousness—vibroacoustic sound table experience, sacred geometry for meridian and chakra coherence
• Afternoon sustainability overview: Off-grid systems, food cultivation, longevity living practices
• Second SCENAR session: Deeper bioelectrical optimization
• Evening silence: Fasting. Off-grid. No distractions. Just you and the question: What’s next?

This is where executives often have their breakthrough. Not in a conference room. In a rainforest. Fasting. Finally quiet enough to hear the answer.

Day 4 – Clarity and Second Summit

• Fasted state continues (autophagy is now fully activated—your cells are cleaning house)
• 5pm Ashtanga yoga (you’re lighter, sharper, more present)
• Second high-altitude training hike: Return to volcanic peaks
• You’re different now. Stronger. Clearer. The altitude hits differently this time.
• Evening visioning work with Benedick: What are you building toward? What does your longevity lifestyle actually look like?

The clarity that emerges during fasting at altitude is unlike anything you’ve experienced in a strategy session. This is biological wisdom, not intellectual analysis.

Day 5 – Integration and Your Starter Blueprint

• Break your fast (if you did 48 hours—this meal will be revelatory)
• 7am Ashtanga yoga: Final practice
• Morning integration session: Debrief with Benedick, process your breakthrough
• Receive your Starter Longevity Protocols: Customized based on your 5 days
  • OMAD and fasting protocols for home
  • Voltage optimization practices (SCENAR techniques, breathwork, circadian rhythm)
  • Movement practices you can sustain
  • Supplement and biomarker guidance
• Alliance membership orientation: Your ongoing community ($5/month, first month included)
• Optional 2nd DreamWeaver session available ($250—many choose this for final integration)
• Afternoon departure: You’re not the same person who arrived 5 days ago

Your energy is phenomenal. Your mind is clear. Your body feels 10 years younger. And you have the protocols to maintain this—not just for a week, but for the next 30 years.

What You Leave With (Beyond the Reset)

Your Personalized Starter Longevity Protocols

Not generic advice. A customized foundation based on YOUR 5 days:

• OMAD and fasting protocols tailored to your response
• Voltage optimization practices (SCENAR techniques you can do at home, breathwork, circadian rhythm alignment)
• Movement practices you can sustain (yoga sequences, mobility work)
• Biomarker tracking guidance specific to your baseline
• Sustainability habits for home (even if you’re not going off-grid)

This is what you implement when you return—the metabolic operating system that makes everything else easier.

Alliance Membership ($1/month, first month included)

You’re joining a community of executives who’ve done the same work:

• Private access to ongoing longevity resources and protocols
• Monthly group calls with Benedick and other Alliance members
• Peer support from others navigating the post-CEO transition
• First access to future intensives, advanced protocols, and retreat dates

You didn’t build your career alone. You won’t build your longevity alone either.

Upgrade Options

Want to go deeper?

• Book multiple consecutive 5-day retreats (subject to availability if booked within 30 days)
• Upgrade to the full 30-Day Vision Quest (subject to availability if booked within 30 days)—pay only the difference ($7,000 total – $2,500 already paid = $4,500)
• Ongoing coaching packages available: Monthly or quarterly check-ins with Benedick for protocol refinement and accountability

Many participants do the 5-day Jumpstart, implement the protocols at home for 60-90 days, then return for the full 30-day transformation.

The Science You Should Understand: Why 5 Days Triggers Your Longevity Clock

The 30 Million Volt Reset

Your mitochondria—the power plants in every cell—operate in an electrical field on the order of 30 million volts per meter.

When that cellular voltage drops (from chronic stress, poor metabolic health, aging), everything gets harder: healing, thinking, moving, even feeling hopeful.

The 5-Day Vision Quest Jumpstart triggers your longevity clock through:

1. Fasting-Induced Autophagy

After 24-48 hours of fasting, your cells activate autophagy—the “cellular cleanup” process where damaged proteins, dysfunctional mitochondria, and metabolic waste get broken down and recycled.

This is like hitting “restore factory settings” on your biology.

Benefits: Enhanced cellular repair, reduced inflammation, improved insulin sensitivity, mental clarity

2. Mitochondrial Biogenesis

The combination of fasting + altitude + movement signals your body to BUILD NEW MITOCHONDRIA.

More mitochondria = more energy production = more cellular voltage

This is how you get phenomenal energy that lasts—not from caffeine, from upgraded cellular power plants.

3. Bioelectrical Voltage Restoration

• SCENAR electrotherapy directly optimizes your bioelectrical field along the vertebra
• DreamWeaver sessions use vibroacoustic sound to entrain your nervous system and restore voltage through coherent vibration
• High altitude creates electrical stress that forces cellular adaptation

4. Hormetic Stress Adaptation

Controlled discomfort (fasting, altitude, cold, challenge) triggers anti-aging pathways.

Your body responds by becoming MORE resilient, not less.

This is the opposite of “self-care”—it’s strategic biological stress that makes you stronger.

The result? Your cells literally operate at higher voltage. Your mitochondria multiply. Your metabolic flexibility returns. Your energy becomes phenomenal.

This isn’t biohacking. This is biological restructuring with precision.

And 5 days is exactly the minimum timeframe to trigger these mechanisms and FEEL the shift viscerally.

About Benedick Howard: The Former Engineer Who Cracked the Longevity Code

Benedick isn’t a wellness influencer. He’s a 74-year-old former GE engineer who jogs, practices Ashtanga yoga daily, does construction work with his hands, fasts regularly, and lives off-grid in the Hawaiian rainforest.

He’s also deeply mystical—fluent in sacred geometry, bioelectrical medicine, sound healing, and consciousness work.

This combination is extraordinarily rare: Someone who can speak your language (engineering rigor, systems thinking, data-driven protocols) while guiding you into territories most executives never explore (altered states, voltage optimization, vision clarity at altitude).

He grows his own food. He maintains his own off-grid systems. He lives the longevity lifestyle he teaches—not as theory, but as daily embodied practice for decades.

At 74, he has more energy than most 50-year-olds. That’s not marketing. That’s proof.

You’re not learning from someone who read about longevity. You’re learning from someone who IS longevity.

Why This Works for Analytical Minds

You didn’t get to the executive level by believing in magic. You got there through strategy, pattern recognition, execution, and relentless optimization.

The Vision Quest Jumpstart respects that.

Every protocol has a mechanism:

• Fasting? Autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, insulin sensitivity, hormonal optimization
• SCENAR? Bioelectrical field restoration, voltage optimization, nervous system regulation
• DreamWeaver? Vibroacoustic cellular entrainment, meridian coherence, parasympathetic activation
• Altitude? Hypoxic stress adaptation, mitochondrial proliferation, altered consciousness states

But here’s what analytical minds often miss: Not everything that works fits in a spreadsheet.

Clarity emerges at 13,800 feet while fasting in ways no amount of strategic planning can replicate.

Purpose reveals itself in silence, not in another SWOT analysis.

Vision crystallizes when you stop performing and start being.

The Vision Quest Jumpstart works because it integrates BOTH: The rigor you trust AND the mystery you’ve been too busy to explore. This spiritual retreat Hawaii approach respects your analytical mind while opening territories most executives never access.

You don’t have to choose between science and spirit. You optimize both.

Is This For You?

This is for you if:

• You’re in transition (pre-retirement, post-exit, between chapters) and want to START your next phase with phenomenal energy and clarity
• You’re tired of wellness advice from people who’ve never run anything significant
• You want the metabolic reset that actually works, not the trend that’s popular on social media
• You’re a male executive seeking a men’s retreat Hawaii experience that doesn’t involve drum circles or victim narratives—just rigorous transformation work
• You’re ready to be strategically uncomfortable in service of breakthrough
• You’re analytical but curious about what lies beyond logic
• You can commit to 5 days offline (and recognize that’s exactly what you need)
• You want to invest $2,500 in the operating system that powers the next 30 years

This is NOT for you if:

• You want a relaxing spa vacation (go to Four Seasons)
• You’re looking for someone to tell you it’s easy (it’s not—it’s catalyst work)
• You’re not willing to be offline for 5 days
• You want theory without practice, concepts without discomfort
• You’re not ready to discover who you are when nobody’s watching your performance

The Real Investment

Most executives spend $50,000+ on financial advisors to optimize their retirement portfolio.

They spend $0 on optimizing the biology that determines whether they’ll enjoy that portfolio.

The 5-Day Vision Quest Jumpstart is $2,500 (New Program Discount—Regular $3,500).

That’s less than a weekend in Napa with your spouse.

But unlike Napa, this investment compounds. The metabolic reset you trigger in 5 days affects every adventure, every relationship, every experience for the next 30 years.

What’s included:

• 5 days off-grid in Hawaiian rainforest sanctuary
• All OMAD meals (high-quality whole foods)
• Daily one-on-one coaching with Benedick
• 5 Ashtanga yoga sessions
• 2 high-altitude training hikes (approaching 13,800 feet)
• 1 DreamWeaver session (+ optional 2nd for $250)
• 2 SCENAR electrotherapy sessions
• Sustainability overview
• Personalized Starter Longevity Protocols
• Alliance membership (first month included, then $5/month)
• Option to upgrade to full 30-Day Vision Quest (pay difference to $7k total)

ROI: Phenomenal energy, mental clarity, metabolic flexibility, and the longevity protocols that make your golden years extraordinary.

Better return than most private equity deals.

The Catalyst You Didn’t Know You Needed

Here’s what most executives miss about retirement transitions:

The adventures you’re planning are only enjoyable when:

1. Your body can handle them (metabolic health, cellular voltage, mitochondrial function)
2. Your mind knows WHY you’re doing them (clarity, purpose, vision)

If you’re exhausted after 4 hours of walking, Italy becomes a slog.

If you don’t know who you are without the CEO title, everywhere feels empty.

The 5-Day Vision Quest Jumpstart solves both:

• Body: Autophagy activation, mitochondrial biogenesis, bioelectrical voltage restoration, phenomenal energy reset
• Mind: Fasting-induced clarity, altitude-induced insight, silence-induced breakthrough

This is the catalyst that makes everything else possible—for the next 30 years.

It’s the 5-day catalyst that triggers your longevity clock and shows you exactly what’s possible when you stop optimizing companies and start optimizing yourself.

Summit the volcano. Master the fast. Discover what’s next.

Why Retreat with Benedick Howard – Longevity Architect?

I don’t just “offer a modality”—I invented the DreamWeaver, and every element of this work has been tested on my own body and life for decades.

Engineer’s Mind, Mystic’s Path

While studying Mining Engineering at Leeds University, I spent nights rallying Mini Cooper S over the Yorkshire moors—doing all the tuning, suspension, and modifications myself, guided by intuition as much as instruments.

Later, I moved to Toronto and became a Development Engineer, eventually supervising the tungsten carbide powder metallurgy division for mining and metal cutting products with Canadian General Electric.

Inventor & Entrepreneur

In 1977 I invented and was awarded the deep-sea fishing “Otterboard” Patent US4344247A. I also built a residential real estate portfolio in Toronto worth over $1 million, generating healthy monthly net income and a free-and-clear apartment—then walked away when it no longer aligned with my ethics and purpose.

Prophetic Pivot

After a series of prophetic dreams, I left the corporate world. My life turned toward homeopathy, music, spiritual awakening, and camping through 16 African countries.

In 1987, an offer I knew was meant for me: I took over the work of Dr. Randal Baer’s Starcrest Academy of Interdimensional Law and Science. This led me to inventing the DreamWeaver and training facilitators with ethics-based protocols, worldwide. Some of them are still alive and holding sacred space for clients three decades later.

Master-Level SCENAR Therapist

I trained with Russian experts to Master level in SCENAR microcurrent therapy, validating an 88.25% clinical cure rate across 18,255 cases of pain and inflammatory disease. I pioneered early online SCENAR training, including years of eBodyFUSION teleconferences and transcripts with dozens of clients.

Sanctuary Builder

After my mother passed in 2008, she left me $50,000—I am so grateful. It was just enough for three acres of untouched rainforest in the Puna district. Over more than a decade, I built an off-grid homestead and personal sanctuary—now the living home of the DreamWeaver and my Architecting Longevity work.

Architecting Longevity

Today, my unified blueprint weaves mitochondrial science, vibroacoustic sound, sacred geometry, fasting protocols, high-altitude training on the Maunas, and consciousness work into one coherent system.

Living Proof at 74

I still summit Mauna Kea at 13,803 feet, practice Ashtanga yoga daily, build structures with my hands, and live pain-free after resolving lifelong back trauma—evidence of what’s possible when you work at the level of voltage and vibration, not just symptoms.

If you’re ready for more than a wellness retreat—if you’re ready for a 1-on-1 metabolic reset and a turning point in how you age—that’s the work we do here.
