One summit. One team.Yours alone.
Each November, one group climbs to the Sphinx of the Bucegi Mountains as a team. 2026 is full. Nominations are open for 2027.
Two Sphinxes. One moment a year.
At sunset on 28 November, your team stands together at the summit for a convergence that happens only once each year.
Tradition holds that at this moment it aligns with the Sphinx of Egypt. People travel from across the world to stand at the summit and feel what it is like to cross a threshold.
One summit. One team.A shared purpose you bring back to work.
Teams that climb together lead together.
A shared challenge, a summit reached side by side and four days away from the roles people play at work build a kind of trust no away day can.
Your team comes home having done something remarkable together, and talking to each other differently because of it.
The climb is only part of the journey.
A physical, mental and emotional challenge for your whole team, held by Alina and Tatiana from the first evening to the last. Every member of the team receives a year of Kind alumni access, with time alongside our collaborators after each Kind event.
The summit
A real, shared challenge that shows how your team works under pressure.
Team sessions
Focused work with Alina and Tatiana on trust, courage and shared purpose.
Movement and stillness
Breathwork, movement and time to slow down and think clearly.
Restoration
A holistic massage, nourishing food and time to let the experience settle.
How demanding is it?
A car carries the team up the mountain, then a steady walk at altitude takes you to the Sphinx. If you can walk for an hour and a half on uneven ground, you can do this. We go rain or shine, with the right kit. The mountain is safe, and we join the many pilgrims who make this climb every year.
A glimpse of the journey.
Your base in Bran.

One organisation. Once a year.
Each year we host just one leadership team. The Inn, the programme and the full attention of Alina and Tatiana are reserved for your people, and no one else.
That is what makes it exceptional, and why the date is offered to one organisation only.
“Not simply ascending beside each other. Ascending with each other.”
