Strategic & Team Building Retreats

Do you have a disparate team or coalition that works together remotely over long distances toward a common badass goal? Does that group need to reconnect and deepen relationships in service of the kind of trust that is critical for collective action? I’d love to help you design and facilitate a regenerative, connective retreat.

I specialize in working with you to uncover the core purpose(s) of your gathering, and co-creating single or multi-day retreat agendas that enable relationship building, skill sharing, work review, and strategy development. And let’s laugh together! I have lots of big and small ways to weave levity, humour and energy into our time together, while gently holding the heavy important work your group is so passionate about.

I see convenings as concentrated opportunities for movement-building. With a mixture of activities designed to enable strategic planning and alignment, leadership development, storytelling and information sharing, and (arguably most important and often forgotten) rest and recovery, we can co-create a retreat that will leave your team feeling more connected to their mission and one another.
