Wellness Retreat – 1 day
Work/Life balance is a popular concept these days – but we show you how to put that into practice. Think of this as a one-day learning retreat. Rather than talk at you about stress management, we will engage you in a series of activities designed to bring balance in the areas of mind, heart, body and spirit. You will leave this day refreshed, recharged, and with practical tools to take back to your workplace and home to bring more balance, enjoyment and satisfaction to work and life.
Because of the nature of the Wellness Retreat, this is an off-site program. We recommend holding this program at a retreat center or similar venue with access to both indoor and outdoor spaces.
