During the course of the retreat, women were also offered the opportunity to network through pre-organised 'speed dating' sessions around their passion, purpose, profit, opening up new relationships and opportunities for the long run. The retreat was sponsored by Think Leverage, the founding company of Think Tomorrow, where all proceeds generated were donated to Education Africa.

The idea for Rise Retreat was born from the co-founder of Think Tomorrow, Madelaine Keyser’s own personal experience after having faced a life crisis in 2019, and realising that as a strategist she didn’t have her own life strategy. In addition, more and more, she was experiencing a new level of exhaustion also visible in the power women all around her. “I believe the majority of the time we are coming up with solutions to solve our own problems and Rise Retreat is exactly that. It is creating a space for me and women we greatly value to just take a step back, breathe and rethink some critical areas of our lives. But doing it together.”

In addition, Rise Retreat creates a platform for Think Tomorrow to live its purpose of 'each one plant one' – the philosophy of always paying it forward to future talent – in this case future Africa teachers and students upskilled through Education Africa.
