An executive retreat may not be top of mind for the average CEO, but there is a number that should give every high-performing leader pause: 82%.
That is the share of executives and employees currently at risk of burnout, according to a 2024 Global Talent Trends report, conducted by Mercer, involving 12,000 participants conducted by Mercer. If you’re in the C-suite, the data is stark—over 53% of leaders report chronic burnout symptoms, according to Microsoft’s Work Trend research. Burnout makes executives 63% more likely to take a sick day, and 13% less confident in your own performance. Your well-being and quality of life—as well as the clarity your organization depends on—quietly erodes as burnout goes unaddressed.
Perhaps you already know this, and you feel it.
You’re not looking for a massage. You’re looking for nervous system relief, genuine mental clarity, and real distance from the demands that seem to follow you everywhere you go. The question isn’t whether you need a retreat. It’s whether you can find one that actually delivers.
A Different Kind of Executive Retreat
The O’Waken Oasis at The Oasis Spiritual Spa and Executive Retreat in Corrales, New Mexico offers something most high-end wellness resorts cannot: genuine solitude, total privacy, unhurried personal care, and access to a caliber of holistic healing that is exceptionally rare, all within a single gated estate bordering the Rio Grande Bosque.
This is not a branded resort experience with group programming and shared spaces. It is a private, 1,350-square-foot luxury suite—rated 5.0 on Airbnb, named a Guest Favorite, and ranked in the top 10% of homes on the platform—on a park-like property that sits at the end of a cul-de-sac in one of Corrales’s finest neighborhoods. The property is gated. Your parking is private. A large buffer room separates your suite from the main house, and you have your own private entrance.
You can arrive and not speak to a single person. Or host Kristy can cook for you, care for you, and support you. An experienced healer, host, and Airbnb Superhost with five years of five-star hosting, Kristy’s warmth and responsiveness consistently makes guests’ stays extraordinary.
The Space
The O’Waken Oasis Suite is a world unto itself—extravagantly appointed, sensory and soulful, with enough room to breathe and enough comfort to fully release.
Inside, you’ll find:
- A 9-foot by 5-foot cinematic projection screen for the evenings you need to stop thinking entirely
- A cozy fireplace for the evenings you want to feel something quieter
- A queen-size four-post Indian bed and a full-size four-post Chinese bed—sumptuous, storied, genuinely restorative
- A massage chair, a pool table, and a disco ball—because joy is part of recovery too
- A fully equipped kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, and washer/dryer
- A dedicated home office workspace—for the days you need to stay connected
- A modern bathroom with plush, oversized towels
- Outdoor dining for six and indoor dining for four, plus two barstools
- Sofa seating for eight
Steps from the front door, the Rio Grande Bosque trail invites you into one of the rarest ecological environments in the American Southwest. Morning meditations, long walks, or simply sitting with the cottonwoods and the river allow your nervous system to remember what ease feels like.
The Healing Is Available When You’re Ready for It
What distinguishes The Oasis from any other luxury accommodation is what lives alongside it.
Kristy, your host and the founder of Corrales Grief Spa, brings over thirty years of holistic healing experience to her work. When you’re ready, she offers access to a range of transformative modalities that are rarely available outside of specialized clinical settings.
The Reflections Room: a modern reimagining of the ancient psychomanteum, built on a practice Kristy developed under the direct mentorship of Dr. Raymond Moody, the pioneering near-death researcher who brought this healing space into contemporary use. It offers a quality of stillness and inner reflection that productivity apps, typical vacations, and conventional therapy cannot typically reach.
Ericksonian Clinical Hypnotherapy, guided visual imagery, Shamanic Angelic Reiki with Color Infusion and Sound, the MARI Card Test, expressive art, yoga nidra, breathwork, sage support—each one works at the level where executive exhaustion actually lives: in the nervous system, the body, the unconscious patterns that no amount of strategic thinking can resolve.
You came here to rest. You can leave transformed.
Corrales, New Mexico: The Setting Itself Is Therapy
The village of Corrales sits at the south end of a stretch of the Rio Grande Bosque that has drawn people seeking beauty, quiet, and renewal for generations. It is approximately 2.5 miles from the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta Park, minutes from shops, restaurants, breweries, and wineries, and a world away from the demands of everyday life.
The most effective burnout recovery retreats combine nature immersion, distance from daily stress, and structured wellness programming as a single unified environment. The Oasis delivers exactly this, without the jet lag of an international trip or the group-retreat dynamics that can become another obligation to manage.
Who This Is For
The O’Waken Oasis is for the founder who hasn’t had a week to themselves in three years, the CEO whose body is sending signals their calendar has no room for, and the executive who has been the one holding everything and needs, finally, to be held for a while.
It is also for anyone standing at a threshold, whether a major decision, life transition, or season of change—who needs space to think, feel, and find their way back to themselves.
The suite accommodates up to two guests and holds a perfect 5.0 rating across all guest categories on Airbnb.
