Transform your Life and your Relationships
The Radical Honesty 8-Day Intensive is an exciting and transformative journey into the depths of your human experience — a space where you can let go of old stories, feel emotionally present in your strength and beauty, and courageously take the driver’s seat of your life to steer toward a more conscious future. Honest self-expression leads to more joy and aliveness, more freedom and lightness, and more connection to yourself and the world around you, helping you grow beyond old patterns and reactivity that no longer serve you and have kept you cut off from the natural flow of life and your own joy.
Over the course of eight days, you’ll gradually release more and more of your life energy, clear your mind, and free your body from the weight of old emotions.
The Radical Honesty 8-Day Intensive is for you if you long for lasting transformation, want to live with more peace, and build resilient relationships in which you are seen for who you truly are. You’ll also plant the seeds for a self-directed future rooted in your heartfelt desires and genuine strengths.
Live your life openly and vibrantly
Radical Honesty is about becoming more aware of yourself and telling the truth about what you’re actually experiencing.
We trainers believe that much of our suffering stems from lying, withholding, and playing small—from sacrificing our authenticity out of fear of rejection. We trade our personal freedom for scraps of connection built on pretense. Negating authentic parts of ourselves and suppressing our “uncomfortable” emotions is one of the surest ways to drain our energy and create anxiety. Lying traps us in thought. By hiding, lying, and over-controlling our true feelings, we make life duller, heavier, and stripped of meaningful connection.
This workshop is specifically designed to support you in stepping into your power and creating your life with awareness and connection.
Radical Honesty is a remedy to a constrained life of holding back and loneliness.
Who this Intensive is for – and who it’s not for
This retreat is ideal if you’re ready to show up honestly, take responsibility for your emotions, and engage in real connection — even when it gets uncomfortable. Important: “Intensive” doesn’t mean you have to make it an intense experience.
It’s not suitable if you
– are currently in an acute psychological crisis or wish to avoid deep group work
– are looking for pure relaxation or a wellness retreat
– or if you’re not willing to spend eight days in a clear, honest community without distractions

Important:
On the 5th or 6th day of the retreat, there will be an afternoon dedicated to working in the nude (you can decide for yourself how much clothing you wish to keep on). This afternoon is a wonderful opportunity to first meet in separate men’s and women’s groups to explore and share around topics such as shame, sexuality, and body-related experiences. It’s a chance to connect and witness what can arise in such a space within the workshop setting. Afterward, there will be an opportunity — if you choose — to step in front of the whole group and share.
You can talk about what moves you in relation to your body, your sexuality, or other related themes.
A Substance-Free Retreat
This 8-day Radical Honesty retreat is 100% free from alcohol, drugs, and mind-altering substances, including plant medicines and microdosing psychedelics. Not because we condemn them, but because they don’t align with the scope of work we do here.
Radical Honesty is about showing up fully present, with a clear mind and an open body, ready to experience yourself and others without escape or distraction. Substances affect perception, numb emotions, or create altered states that take us away from the work we’re here to do.
This is a firm boundary: Anyone using substances during the retreat will be asked to leave immediately, without a refund.
What’s Included
8 days of full immersion in Radical Honesty practice

Healthy, nourishing meals to support your process
Note: Most dietary requirements can be met.

Who Can Join?
No prior experience with Radical Honesty is required.
This retreat is open to anyone willing to explore honest communication and real connection.
At times, the work can be intense, as it invites you to face emotions and patterns directly. It’s helpful to have some inner stability and ways to navigate emotions, whether through body awareness, breath, or other personal practices that support you in staying present. If you're unsure whether this retreat is a good fit for you, feel free to reach out.

About the Trainers
Marvin Schulz, M.Sc., is one of the most experienced Radical Honesty Trainers and organizes workshops in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. As a former auditor for investment banks in New York and Executive Assistant for a multi-billion dollar company on Broadway, Marvin experienced the detrimental effects of lying and withholding first hand: at age 26, he was depressed and burned out.
“I had a promising career in front of me. However, I felt horrible and empty. None of the money I made could compensate for my inner yearning for love, connection and a happy life. After deciding not to kill myself, I opted for a Radical Honesty Workshop. After that, I still killed myself, but in a very different way: I killed my self-image and completed my past.”
He left the corporate rat wheel and embarked on his journey towards a more authentic, joyous, and connected life. He moved back to Germany and healed his own wounds by having honest conversations with important people. He cleaned up his past using Radical Honesty. Dr. Blanton invited Marvin to live at his place in Virginia for one season and certified him as a Radical Honesty trainer three years later.
Here is a beautiful video from one of Marvin’s workshops.
Marvin has the ability to bring humor into seemingly serious processes while staying compassionate and curious. He is comfortable going into discomfort and can guide participants in re-experiencing hurt and pain while holding them in the here and now. His style is inquisitive, simple, and direct – often with a wink and never without compassion. Marvin has lived in China, Mexico, South Africa and the United States and studied cross-cultural communication. He currently resides in Prague, Czech Republic, where he produces music, drinks coffee and enjoys what he often calls the most beautiful city in the world.
