Guild & Build Retreat

Here's the Deal

AI just compressed
five years into five days.
We're going to prove it.

The tools are real. The systems exist. Most people spend years figuring out how to wire it all together. Testing alone, between everything else life demands, never quite getting to the thing they said they'd build.

This is not that. One week. One private compound. Twelve serious people. Every friction point removed: lodging, food, recovery, access. Nathaniel and his network on-site, building alongside you in real time.

By the end of the week, you won't be talking about what you're going to build. You'll have already built it.

What You're In For

The most productive, most fun,
most fulfilling week of your life.

🧠

Mastermind Sessions

Small group. High signal. The kind of conversations that reframe a problem you've been stuck on for two years in forty-five minutes. No fluff. No networking exercises. Just real work with real people.

⚡

Work Sprints

Dedicated build time with the whole group in flow. The environment is set up for deep work. No distractions, every tool you need, and accountability that actually holds. Shipped, not planned.

🧬

Biohacking & Performance

Your body is the machine running the machine. Protocols for optimizing energy, focus, recovery. What's been working in the data, not the trends. Practical and repeatable.

🥗

Nutrition You've Never Tried

Food engineered for performance. Sourced, prepared, and sequenced to keep you clear and energized. Not a cleanse. Not a diet. Meals you'll talk about six months later.

🌙

Deep Sleep & Lucid Dreaming

Sleep is the highest-leverage protocol in existence. You'll learn to not just recover, but to use your sleep actively. Lucid dreaming practice, sleep architecture optimization, and waking up genuinely different.

🎤

Speakers & Experiences

People who've actually done it. Brought in to share what worked, what didn't, and what they know now that they wish they'd known sooner. Plus music, art, and sensory experiences you won't find at a conference.

The Compound

You won't want to leave.
That's the point.

This isn't a hotel conference room. It's a private compound built for exactly this kind of immersive experience. Production studio, community center, pool, sauna, cold plunge, volleyball court, massage, and food that actually performs. The environment is part of the program.

Austin, TX · Private Compound

Pool · Open Air · Nature

Infrared Sauna · Cold Plunge

🏊

Pool

Full outdoor pool set against Austin's natural landscape. Recovery, reset, and genuine downtime between sessions.

🔥

Infrared Sauna + Cold Plunge

The contrast protocol built into your daily rhythm. Heat, cold, clarity. One of the highest-leverage recovery stacks available.

🏐

Sand Volleyball Court

Because the best ideas sometimes come between sets. Movement, competition, and the kind of energy that resets the room.

💆

On-Site Masseuses

Massage on-site throughout the week. Not a perk. A protocol. Recovery is part of how you perform at this level.

🎙️

Production & Community Center

The heart of the compound. A full production and gathering space built for content, collaboration, and deep group work.

🍽️

Performance Nutrition

Foods you've never tried, sourced and sequenced for sustained energy and mental clarity. Not a cleanse. Not a buffet. A stack.

🎵

Music You've Never Heard

Curated sound experiences woven through the week. Not background music. Intentional audio environments designed for state.

🌿

Nature All Around

Trees, open air, Austin's cedar-and-limestone landscape. The kind of setting that lowers cortisol without you trying.

The Room

Built around one man.
Then he brought friends.

Nathaniel Solace is the reason this exists. Fifteen years of building online, running agencies, and living at the frontier of what's actually possible. Now distilled into one week. Then he called in some of the most interesting humans he knows.

Your Host · Founder of GATO

Nathaniel Solace

Fifteen years of building online. Agencies, products, content systems, client pipelines. Nathaniel has lived through every era of what it means to operate on the internet, and he's been at the frontier of each one. He built GATO because the tools he needed didn't exist. Now GATO runs the back-end of everything he does, and the Guild & Build is his thesis made tangible: that this new paradigm of AI-assisted creation and operation compresses what used to take five years into a single focused sprint. He doesn't present from a stage. He builds alongside you, holds the room to an uncommon standard, and has the receipts to back every word of it.

15 Years Online Agency Builder GATO Creator AI Operations Next Paradigm

Nathaniel's Guests

Guest Speaker

Amateo Kaplan · Amateo Ra

CMO of COTI. A leading crypto privacy tech company. One of the more unusual minds Nathaniel is bringing into the room. Amateo Kaplan has lived at the intersection of finance, tech, and crypto for years, building and marketing at the frontier of what money, privacy, and decentralized infrastructure actually mean. He also goes by Amateo Ra: a transformational speaker and conscious educator who has worked with thousands of people on the invisible architecture that limits output. Most people keep those two worlds separate. Amateo doesn't. He brings the inner game and the outer build simultaneously. His thesis, like Nathaniel's, is that new models make the old ones obsolete.

Crypto · Privacy Tech Finance & Web3 AI & Futurism Inner Work

Guest Speaker

Kevin Orosz

High performance coach, philosopher, poet, and founder of Mystic Misfit. One of Nathaniel's personal brings for the Austin week. Kevin operates at the intersection of evolutionary psychology, embodiment, and mastery, making complex ideas land in the body rather than just the head. Austin-based, he's exactly the kind of mind that belongs in a room like this: someone who won't let you settle for an intellectual answer when a real one is available.

High Performance Evolutionary Psychology Austin-Based

Guest Speaker

Jesse Elder

Action philosopher, black belt, and longtime Texan. Brought in by Nathaniel because there are very few people who can strip a problem down to its irreducible truth the way Jesse can. He built and sold multiple martial arts schools before committing fully to the philosophy of mastery and freedom. His "Mind Vitamin" body of work has touched hundreds of thousands of people. But the version of Jesse Elder you want is the one in a small room. Painstakingly simple. Superbly profound.

Self-Mastery Philosophy Martial Arts

Guest Speaker

John Bush

Founder of the Freedom Cell Network. 19,000+ people worldwide. One of Nathaniel's Austin-based allies who lives exactly what he talks about. Intentional community in Central Texas, a bootstrapped business in Brave Botanicals, a decade-plus of building real parallel systems rather than just critiquing the existing ones. John brings the framework for operating with full sovereignty and for building things designed to actually last outside the default infrastructure.

Freedom Cells Sovereignty Community Design

Guest Speaker

Devon Seegers

Personal clarity coach, music producer, and peak performance coach for professional creatives. Brought in by Nathaniel because Devon operates at an intersection most coaches don't touch: the place where inner clarity and creative output become the same thing. He works with high-capacity leaders and visionaries navigating complexity, helping them cut through the noise, find their exact next move, and get their creative energy actually running in one direction. The music component of this retreat? Devon's fingerprints are on it.

Who This Is For

10 spots. We're selective.

This isn't for everyone and we don't want it to be. The cohort is the product. Every person in the room affects every other person in the room.

✓ You're the right fit if

✓You're already executing. Not planning to someday
✓You want to collapse years of iteration into a single focused sprint
✓You treat your body and mind as tools worth optimizing
✓You believe the right environment produces results no willpower can
✓You're willing to show up fully. Not as a consumer, as a builder
✓You're local to Austin or committed enough to make the trip

✗ This isn't for you if

✗You need someone to tell you what to build
✗You're looking for accountability to make you show up
✗You treat retreats as vacations with WiFi
✗You're not ready to be honest about what's actually stalled
✗You want passive learning rather than active building
✗The $10k investment is a genuine stretch right now

What You Are Actually Getting

Five things worth $10,000 each.
One week. One price.

I could charge ten grand for any one of these individually. I have. People pay that happily. So sit with what is actually being offered here, because this is not a workshop with a PDF and a group chat.

Your Entire AI Infrastructure, Built and Deployed

Worth $10,000 on its own

The full system. Custom AI employees that run your business operations. Automated content pipelines. Client intake flows. CRM integration. Knowledge bases that actually know your brand. This is the same infrastructure running nine automated employees across my own businesses right now. You walk out with the whole thing live.

A Full Week with Nathaniel Solace

Worth $10,000 on its own

Fifteen years of coaching, facilitation, and retreat leadership. Thousands of hours sitting with people through the hardest things they have ever faced. This is not a tech conference with a Q&A at the end. You are spending seven days working directly with someone who knows how to build the systems and help you actually become the person who can operate them comfortably.

A Small Group of People on the Same Path

Worth $10,000 on its own

This is deliberately small. Everyone in the room is building something real. The conversations at dinner are going to be worth as much as the build sessions. The friendships you make this week are the kind that actually last, because they were forged in the middle of doing something hard together.

World-Class Recovery and Self-Care

Worth $10,000 on its own

We are going hard during the day, and you need to actually recover. High-quality meals prepared with intention. Massage. Restoration time built into the schedule. Your nervous system is going to be processing a lot. We take care of it properly so you can show up at full capacity every single morning.

Biohacking, Nutrition, and Body Protocols

Worth $10,000 on its own

Cold exposure. Breathwork. Somatic practices studied and facilitated for over a decade. Nutrition protocols designed around what your body actually needs when doing intensive cognitive and emotional work. You are not just building a business system this week. You are upgrading how your body handles stress, processes information, and sustains energy.

Questions

What people ask before reserving.

What are the exact dates in May?

Still being finalized. Once enough spots are reserved, we lock the week. Reserve now and you'll be part of that conversation. Austin locals get input on scheduling.

How do the payment options work?

Three ways. Split: $5,000 now to reserve, $5,000 when the retreat is complete. Pay in full for $9,000 and save a thousand. Or the Founders Tier at $10,000 upfront, and you get a Mac Mini with your entire system running on it that you take home.

What does the 5-year guarantee actually mean?

At the end of the week and through the 30-day follow-up, you look at what you built, deployed, created, and set running. If you can't honestly say this compressed what would have taken you five scattered years, full refund. No conditions. No questions.

Is everything really included?

Yes. Lodging at the compound, all meals and performance nutrition, the retreat programming, speakers, biohacking protocols, massage, pool, sauna, cold plunge. All of it. You get there and you are set for the week. The only thing you bring is what you are building.

Do I need to be local to Austin?

No. You travel to Austin for the week, stay on-site at the compound, and return home after. The 30-day follow-up runs remotely. Austin-based people are already expressing interest, but this is built for builders everywhere.

What kind of things will people be building?

Whatever you're building. Courses, offers, content systems, client pipelines, automation infrastructure, apps. The mastermind is industry-agnostic. What matters is that you have something you're executing on and you're serious about it. The cohort will sharpen whatever you bring.

What does biohacking actually mean in this context?

Not supplements and gadgets for their own sake. Protocols that demonstrably affect cognitive performance, energy, sleep architecture, and emotional regulation. Things with real data behind them, applied practically. You'll leave with a personalized stack you can run independently after the week.
