A Brilliant Rebels Experience

A retreat into the extraordinary: designed to reawaken your sense of WONDER
Austin, Texas — April 27-30
A note from Melanie Spring
Your Host
I believe the path to enlightenment is an old dirt path just off the highway of success. Sometimes we have to break down on the side of the highway to finally see that it was past time to exit. Other times we choose to look for it in our moments of frustration with the world.
No matter how we find it, this path is not one we have to walk alone. It’s an adventure we can all take together.
I see you, beautiful soul.
I see you desiring community.
I see you unbecoming what the world told you to be.
I see you craving connection with others on the growth path.
I see you shifting your perspective.
I see you doing a lot of this alone.
I see you wanting to change the conversation.
I see you inspiring others, yet aching for inspiration yourself.
LIMITLESS was created for you.
LIMITLESS is a magical 3-night immersive experience designed to reignite your imagination, rediscover your sense of wonder, and unlock the infinite potential that’s always been inside you.
Put simply, LIMITLESS will give you space to be fully yourself in community with others walking this dirt path together.
Whether you’re crafting your next chapter, taking your first steps on this path, or desiring inspiration to support you as you guide others, we are all in this together.
No one is further along than another, yet some of us have tools, skills, and resources to share.
That’s why LIMITLESS is like no other retreat. It’s consciously collaborated in community by sharing our knowledge, wisdom, and intuition with each other in service of our higher selves and continued growth.
As Rumi so eloquently shared, “We’re all just walking each other home.”
This is your invitation to no longer walk this path alone.

Wonder
You’ve felt it before—that spark of awe, the thrill of possibility, the magic in the air when everything feels aligned.
Yet somewhere along the way, the world dimmed your light.
Rules, responsibilities, and routines replaced curiosity and wonder.
Global warming, wars, and waiting for the next shoe to drop replaced fairies, imaginary friends, and bedtime stories.
But here’s the truth:
Wonder isn’t lost.
It’s just waiting for you to find it again.
Community Feedback
Hear what our past guests say about our retreats
" I had put myself on autopilot and I actually really was losing myself. My power has been awakened and there's no stopping me. Now I got my mojo back. I got my serenity back and I got my confidence back. And in the process I had fun. I met new friends and I learned a lot of new things about myself, and now my life is on track and on purpose. Through this experience and wisdom I get to help so many people"
Linda LoRe
" It's been transformational. Without this experience, I know without a doubt I wouldn't have had the tools to know how to navigate"
Tyler Valentine
" I had some apprehension going into this experience and every sort of curve, every turn along the way, I was pleasantly surprised. I was deeply challenged and I am a different human because I chose to take that leap"
Chuck Neddermeyer
" I needed help to be able to find my fire. You know, sometimes you go through life and you think you're good, making a change and making an impact that's like an inch here, an inch there. And I wanted to quantum leap into manifesting my dreams. And I really appreciated Melanie, Dan, and the rest of the crew for their open hearts and supporting me, being able to know myself better, being able to understand what was holding me back from believing in myself"
Michelle Lim Warner
"I do believe that in saying yes to each ourselves, we said yes to each other. I just think that what you've created here is a really beautiful thing."
Sandy Lutton
" I knew in order to start a rebellion myself, I had to start [with myself]. I needed to remove myself from my everyday life in my complete entirety with someone I knew. Who was going to push me, who wasn't going to accept when I gave bullshit answers to very deep questions, who wasn't going to accept when I would say no to myself before I even tried anything."
Liz Murphy
"[It's] an amazing investment in being a human being. The cohort of people that you connect with and learn from become friends for life, and make it all worth every penny and all of the energy, time, and effort that you are putting in."
Collette Bowers-Zinn
I'm finding my voice. I'm living my truth and purpose and feeling joy in the process. Being a Brilliant Rebel is a way of life that I carry with me every day now. All day. I can't see any other direction but forward. Join us! It's awesome
Mary Gardella
" for the first time maybe ever I felt truly seen. I have heard the words that others have shared about my magic, my gifts, my shine. And while often I would say "thank you," I didn't really believe them. I'd always think that they were talking about another person or like, oh, they're going to change their mind. When in reality, they were really talking about me. They saw me before I saw myself. And this time, as I was listening to people share things about me, my gifts, my magic, truly, I believe them."
Chris Coladonato
" If someone was on the fence, I would ask them: how passionate are you about where you want to go, and do you want to get there? If you are ready and want to make movement and go and get there sooner and get there with like minded people who are safe and good and want to walk with you, if you're passionate and you don't have time to waste, then this is for you."

Exit the Highway of Success & Walk the Path Together
Most of us go on vacation to escape our lives. We sign up for a retreat to finally get some time away. We go somewhere else to hide from our phones and relax.
Yet studies* show that it takes the average American 4 full days to sink into vacation, which means a normal 3-night retreat would normally have almost no affect (and be done before your brain turns off.)
This is why we shattered the retreat “box” and created an event like no other.
LIMITLESS is a conscious collaboration with you where together we can slow down time. Where connection with yourself and others isn’t through napping or hiding, but sinking into moments of togetherness. Even in silence.
We call it LIMITLESS because we’re not just changing the way you look at your life, yet how you can experience the outer reaches of your relationship with time, money, freedom, and connection.
This is not a vacation, a retreat, or a getaway.
This is an invitation to exit the Highway of Success and slow down. A place for you to shift from your business-mind or your corporate-speak and allow your inner child to dance with wild abandon.
An invitation to NOT talk about work or how you make money and instead start a conversation about life, impact, confidence, and self-love.
In your bare feet.
Dressed as your true self.
Sharing what’s on your heart.
Being seen as you really are.
Knowing you’ll belong from the moment you show up.
This is an encouragement to stop doing things the way you’ve always done them and be open to the possibility that your life and work can be seen more clearly through the lens of WONDER and PLAY!

WHAT OUR BRILLIANT REBELS HAVE SAID
"I would have paid double"
Eileen G









Limitless Wonder — Infinite possibilities
Dive into your magic in community
Your magic is NOT found sitting in front of a computer or stressing over what to post on social media.
Your magic is NOT being fully utilized as you climb the corporate ladder or worrying about how you’re going to pay your bills.
Your magic is found in spaces where:
- the unusual becomes usual.
- the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
- conversations go deeper than the weather.
- no one asks you what you do for a living.
- others are thinking outside the box.
- others are stepping away from the concept of the box altogether.
- no one is ahead of you or behind you.
- you are asked to share your own experience or mastery with your peers
No one can teach you how to use your magic—yet having a space to work on it, practice it, and play with it without worrying about what others are thinking (because they’re doing the same) can open up infinite possibilities.
So, what if you brought your openness, questions, ideas, and wisdom with you and knew that no one was at this event to judge you? And you aren’t there to judge them? What could you accomplish with that freedom and openness?
Who could you become?
Or better yet: who would you UN-become?
We are the Brilliant Rebels – Together
Who are we & what are we
A Brilliant Rebel is a human who decided that society wasn’t right about them.
That everything the world told them they SHOULD be is the opposite of what they want for themselves.
That all of the intelligence and education they packed into their brain is nothing without the magic of who they are innately.
Brilliant Rebels do things their own way.
They run their lives and careers from their imagination and intuition. They step into unknown territory knowing that they were MADE FOR MORE.
They approach the Door of Possibility and leave all their baggage (stories, beliefs, and truths) behind so they can find the truth of who they are and what they’re here to do.
The Brilliant Rebellion is a movement supporting humans in UNBECOMING everything they were told they should be. Allowing them to step into who they were born to be. Giving them the tools and support in remembering and finding their gifts.
It was born out of a desire to support more humans in unbecoming what isn’t them and finding a community of people who stand out, grow powerfully, and shine a light on the path they walked so others can come with them.
Rebellion is not for everyone, but if it is for you, we see you.
We know you. We are you.

Your Co-hosts
Melanie Spring & Dan Russell
We are partners in life AND in business. As married business partners, they’ve challenged every rule of relationship by working together. Now, they co-host LIMITLESS to help bring together humans who are passionate about personal transformation, healing, and growth while challenging the status quo through their very different perspectives.
Melanie brings the rule-breaking & intuition:
“I began my career as a brand strategist, public speaker, and retreat host. Over the years, I began dedicating more time to helping people find their own unique voice, going beyond typical personal brand work and into the realms of life purpose and fulfillment. Today, I use my intuitive skills and leadership experience to help other people find and pursue their purpose through becoming more of themselves.”
Dan brings the free-thinking & science:
“I’ve been an entrepreneur from the start when I started my marketing agency within two years of graduating college. As I worked harder and harder, I began to ask bigger and bigger questions. Ultimately realizing my true purpose lies in growing a community of enlightenment seekers, I closed my business and began co-hosting The Brilliant Rebellion and its events like LIMITLESS.”
Together with our amazing Crew, we’re going to create a safe and exciting space for you to unwind and start listening to what lies inside for you: the true, unfiltered source of what makes you unique. Get ready for an uplifting and transformative experience like you’ve never encountered!

Strangers To Friends
A Language Of Your Own
Have you ever been in a relationship that has its own language? Phrases or words only you know together. You don’t have to explain things, you just get to be your silly self and know you won’t be judged.
This could be a best friendship, a romantic relationship, or a group of people who have a profound experience together.
Our playful little self comes out–holding nothing back. Because there’s an unwritten agreement that you’re all in this together.
What if I told you that you could recapture the magic of childhood friendships?
What if you could walk into a group of dozens of wildly successful adults and immediately connect in a language you’d make up together? All because you felt instant kinship and dropped into flow—together.
Normally when adults get together, they begin with comparison, competition, or criticism. They hold back, hide parts of themselves, or overshare then worry about whether or not they went too far.
LIMITLESS is built differently.
We take down all the walls that hide imperfection and show you what’s inside of every one of us—so you can feel safe doing the same thing.
The moment you do that is the same moment you tap back into that child-like exuberance that fueled your first friendships.
We’re creating safe spaces where you don’t have to worry about judgment or criticism—you can simply be yourself, expressing yourself exactly as you are.
And when you’re able to do that, you can walk back into your life with newfound confidence and love for yourself and others.
How different would your life be?
How different would your work be?
How different would your relationships be?
I bet things would feel lighter and brighter if you stepped into that kind of space. So what do you think?

Pretend You Don’t Know What Retreats Are Like
If you’ve ever been on retreat, you know the drill. Yoga, journaling, self-reflection, workshops, expert talks, Instagrammable moments…
Most retreats are cookie-cutter because they work. Lots of relaxing and downtime, plenty of healthy food and movement.
- What if we told you that LIMITLESS wasn’t like any other retreat you’ve attended?
- And if it’s your first retreat, we’ll end up ruining you for others…?
- No, we don’t say that without knowing how different this will be.
Melanie Spring herself has hosted over 150 events and retreats over the last 15 years along with attending dozens of other retreats internationally to learn from the best in the industry.
From relaxing retreats to personal growth retreats, Melanie & her partner, Dan Russell, have experienced them all and they have used these retreats to influence their own style.
When they hired Glenda Rossi to architect their retreats, Glenda’s two decades of event planning and management experience offered a massive upleveling of powerful, life-changing moments for humans to connect with themselves and each other.
Together with our Crew of entrepreneurs, retired corporate trainers, and “there’s a box?” dreamers, we’ve created the getaway that disrupts your way of thinking, creating, and thriving in a world full of categories, labels, and hacks.
Our attendees walk away saying they would have paid double for what they received, thanks to this collaboration.
