The Ariara Conclave: A Private Gathering for Leaders Shaping the Future
February 28 – March 8, 2026 | Ariara Island, Philippines
There comes a point where personal success is no longer the metric. For the individuals aiming to shape industries and drive positive global change, the defining question becomes one of legacy and impact. How can we leverage our resources, our networks and our passions, and each other’s, to create the greatest possible impact for the world?
The Ariara Conclave is the answer to that question.
Where Visionaries & Philanthropists Optimise Their Health & Forge Partnerships That Leave a Legacy for Humanity & Planet.
You're Building Something That Matters. Now Build the Foundation to Sustain It.
You're an entrepreneur building healthcare solutions. A sustainability innovator creating regenerative systems. A philanthropist funding humanity's future. You’re an expert in impact marketing or AI.
You've chosen impact over easy profits. Purpose over convention. Legacy over short-term gains.
But have you asked yourself:
Can your body sustain the decades of demanding work ahead—without burnout depleting your vision?
Are you surrounded by fellow visionaries who share your commitment to healthcare and planetary healing - not just networking contacts?
What becomes possible when healthcare innovators, climate entrepreneurs, and purpose-driven philanthropists collaborate with complete transparency?
This isn't another wellness retreat.
This is the foundation for sustaining decades of meaningful impact.
About the Conclave
This is not a retreat. It is a private, 8-day summit on an exclusive private island in the Philippines, designed for a carefully curated group of 10 visionary leaders, philanthropists and entrepreneurs in healthcare, sustainability, finance, marketing and AI.
Our purpose is twofold:
To provide you with the ultimate strategic advantage by optimising your personal health and vitality.
To create a unique catalyst for collaboration toward global impact.
We have specifically chosen early March for The Ariara Conclave as it represents the absolute peak of the dry season in Palawan, offering idyllic temperatures, calm seas, and uninterrupted sunshine — ensuring a perfect environment for both our deep work and island adventures.
The Foundation: Your Unfair Advantage
World-Leading Pulse Diagnosis — The Executive's Secret Weapon
While business leaders and executives pay $15,000-$50,000 for comprehensive health screenings, there's a diagnostic tool that reveals what they miss: the subtle internal imbalances that limit your performance before they become problems.
Advanced pulse diagnosis — practised by your host George Monkhouse, one of the world's foremost masters — reads your body's internal state in stunning detail within minutes:
✓ Energy depletion patterns affecting your decision-making
✓ Stress accumulation blocking your creativity
✓ Digestive imbalances reducing your vitality
✓ Cardiovascular efficiency limiting your endurance
✓ Organ function affecting your resilience
✓ Emotional tensions constraining your leadership
The difference?
Conventional diagnostics detect disease.
Advanced pulse diagnosis optimizes performance before problems begin.
"The pulse diagnosis that George performs is one of the most incredible skills I have come across, a total insight into the body!"
"He reversed my pre-clinical diabetes in a month and reduced the blockage in my arteries by more than 50%... All without resorting to medication."
Your 8-Day Transformation
Every morning, you'll receive:
Personalised Pulse Diagnosis
George reads your internal state, identifying exactly where you hold tension, where energy is blocked, and what's depleting your vitality.
Bespoke Acupuncture Treatment
Immediate intervention to clear blockages, reduce pain, regulate your nervous system and stimulate optimal blood flow.
Qigong & Meditation Training
Learn the ancient techniques that sustain peak performance long after you leave the island. (Ongoing support included)
The result?
Within days, you'll experience:
Dramatically improved energy and mental clarity
Reduced chronic pain and inflammation
Better stress resilience and emotional regulation
Optimized sleep and recovery
Enhanced focus and decision-making capacity
This is your foundation — the physical and mental vitality required to lead at the highest level for decades to come.
The Catalyst: Strategic Impact Sessions
Building The Future Together

Healthcare Innovation — Leaders transforming health systems, developing new treatments, or scaling wellness solutions
