Practical Logistics
Choosing the Right Venue
Select a venue that provides both comfort and seclusion to facilitate a serene atmosphere. Whether it’s a retreat center, a remote campground, or a comfortable hotel, ensure the location aligns with your retreat’s goals and activities.
Food and Fellowship
Plan communal meals that encourage fellowship and network building. Consider dietary restrictions and aim for nutritious meals that cater to all participants.
Technology-Free Zones
Encourage disconnecting from phones and laptops to focus fully on the retreat’s experience. Designate areas or times when technology is discouraged to help attendees remain present and engaged.
