COWORKING
Our belief is that our guests bring different skills and experiences to the co-retreat, and can serve as valuable resources for one another. Before arriving, we will gather information from all of our guests as to what skills they would feel comfortable sharing/teaching others, and what their individual needs are. At the beginning of each 7-10 day session, you will have an opportunity to share about your business endeavors. We will use all of this information to coordinate and/or facilitate small and whole group sessions to fit your needs. The format for small group sessions will be flexible. For example, small groups may decide to meet at off-site locations, go for walks together to brainstorm ideas, etc. You will have the freedom to choose when to work on your own, when to collaborate with your peers, and when to enjoy outdoor and social activities. We hope that the connections you make at Co-Retreats will continue beyond your stay!
