The word retreat means two things:
'The act of withdrawing from something difficult and dangerous'
'To move away from danger.'
During this retreat, we are, in some ways, asking your people to do both. 
We need you to retreat from the workplace where the stress is and where you are easily contacted to make decisions and solve problems. We do this so that you can enter an environment where we can gain your complete attention, where you feel 'off duty', and where you can relax surrounded by colleagues who want to make the most out of the time they have together. 
The moving away from danger is facilitated by you all proving that the environment is confirmed as psychologically safe so anyone can say anything or challenge anyone, (politely, professionally and respectfully). 
This event focuses on what requires developing, discusses it in a psychologically safe environment, and develops ideas to take back and experiment with. 
This retreat is not a one-size-fits-all event. It is specifically designed to address your organisation's unique needs, requirements, and desired outcomes. By tailoring the retreat to your specific context, we believe we can maximise its impact and ensure that it aligns with your strategic goals, values, and organisational culture.
It can be for:
Top executives.
A combination of your top executives and senior leadership.
A mix of your organisation's top decision-makers, HR, directors, managers, team leaders and colleagues.
Or any other mix that you prefer.
Numbers can range from about nine individuals to around 30 people. The venue for the event, along with transport, accommodation, and meals, are booked by the organisation taking part. We will guide you through the requirements for the location.
The retreat weekend can be Friday and Saturday, Saturday and Sunday or Sunday and Monday. Alternatively, this can be held during the working week. 
It follows various formats depending on the discussions leading up to the event. Below is an example of a past event (2023).
Request a discussion to help identify the key objectives and ingredients of your Corporate Retreat.

Example event:
Day One:
Event briefing
Share our organisational and personal objectives. (Gathered before the event).
The jigsaw activity (a short, fun activity to get your creative minds in gear).
The basics of Emotional Intelligence and why it is critical to organisational communication.
Psychological Safety, our Moccasin Approach® and our ARCHWAY Approach® (our ground rules for success).
Organisational self-assessment and analysis. (Identifying unseen barriers/blockers).
How to become more self-aware by working with colleagues.
Break out group work and wash up, ready for the morning.
Evening to relax.
Day Two:
A challenging group activity to get those brains going.
Aligning organisational values with present experienced culture.
Create a template for Personal Profiles (possibly).
Break out group work to establish ideas and possible solutions to yesterday's barriers/blockers.
The start of our Organisational Culture Engagement Team (OCET).
A stage one plan for the future.
Next steps and committing to our future plans. (Accountability and Responsibility).
Wash up and depart the venue.
Retreat delivery and venue
We do not offer this as an online experience. We recommend that you select a venue of your choice, but we can also book a venue for you. We'd need to discuss various aspects, such as accessibility requirements and the distance to travel, etc.
LENGTH - Usually two days. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT RETREAT START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
RETREAT DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.

Discernment Formation for Course Leaders
with Rachel Overton and Nick Helm
This programme aims to enable course leaders to develop or sharpen up discernment processes within formation programmes for spiritual directors from all traditions. 
A previous participant says:
'This programme really helped me to find a language with which to fully understand discernment processes for myself and for my facilitating the development of others.’ 
Discernment is not something that we ‘do’ at certain moments of decision in life. Rather it is the stance we should assume in every aspect of life and can be articulated in the question ‘how am I centred and responsive to God?’
As course leaders and people responsible for the formation of spiritual directors, we need to be aware of our own discernment processes if we are to enable others to grow in their ability to discern well. Such awareness also enables us to offer congruence between the formation programme we are a part of, the nature of spiritual accompaniment and being faithful to God in life. 
Over the course of the four day sessions, we will enable participants to engage with questions such as: 
What do you pay attention to within your own experience?
Why do you pay attention to that?
How do you respond to what you notice?
What choices do you make?
How does all of this apply to you personally, your role as a spiritual director and your role in the formation of spiritual directors.
 These will be explored in relation to the ‘triangle model’ of relationships within spiritual direction – a model which helps to sharpen awareness of the multiple aspects of discernment that we need to pay attention to.
The programme will be experiential, involving small group work as well as plenary sessions. Participants will also be expected to take time to reflect and continue to work with their own process in between sessions.
By the end of the programme, participants can expect to:
be more aware of their own process and language of discernment
have greater awareness of how discernment is lived in spiritual direction and spiritual direction formation
be more secure in their role as a trainer enabling discerning processes
have clarity about ways in which this discerning stance can be developed in the course they are involved in
All sessions will run on Zoom from 9.45am to 4.15pm
Previous participants share their responses to this programme: 
‘A safe space to open your heart to the unexpected.’
‘It opens up the process of discerning far better than reading it in a book.'
‘[It] may well change your perception of what discernment is all about and, with practice, it will change the way you live and pray. I would thoroughly recommend this learning process and experience.’
‘Approach with an attentive, open heart, recognising the potential to go deeper through exploring discernment by journeying both as individual and with others.’
‘A very in-depth programme that really gets to the heart of discernment. Don’t miss it - it can change your life!!’
‘It wasn't until I experienced this programme with Nick and Rachel that it became obvious how vital this clarification of, and approach to discernment is, and would whole-heartedly recommend this empowering course to the most seasoned of trainers as well as those just starting out.’

The psychological impact of critical incidents includes anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance and agitation. It can also lead to reduced motivation or morale at work, unsafe practices, and burnout.Health and social care professionals in hospitals, residential care, and support services, who are looking after vulnerable people in challenging environments, are often exposed to distressing events.

In this course we explore how we have attempted to build inclusive circles of support around individuals and contrast this with a radical approach to problem solving with parents &ndash; the Parent Solutions Circle

Parent Solutions is a brand new approach to problem solving with parents based on our live group work in schools. A focus on challenging behaviour brings interest, energy and commitment.

Essentially the approach involves gathering a group of parents and carers together who recognise how challenging their own children are and would like some help to figure out how to be with them or how to manage an aspect of their behaviour. The process is facilitated but majors on the parents offering each other their wisdom and ideas. The directness that only peers can provide to each other makes the work both powerful and effective.

Mobilising the wisdom and experiences of parents in a safe way is a delicate art. In this training we will explore how this can best be done.

Parents who have been on all the courses and had all the professional advice in world love this way of working because they get to offer each other their experience, ideas and wisdom.

The approach is capacity focused, person centred approach to&nbsp;working with&nbsp;parents rather than the dominant deficit oriented and &lsquo;medical model&rsquo; of viewing and&nbsp;planning for&nbsp;parents. We work with rather than do things to a group of parents.

This training can be modelled with a group of parents or can be demonstrated with a group of professionals. We prefer mixed groups.
