Retreats for Teams 

For leadership teams navigating growth, change, or the weight of doing too much for too long

I see it in almost every retreat I run.

A team walks in carrying the same tension as their leader. Not because they've been told to. Because nervous systems mirror each other, whether we like it or not. A dysregulated leader creates a dysregulated culture, quietly, over months and years, until it shows up as burnout, disengagement, or people simply leaving.

I spent six years as VP at Michael Kors EMEA, sitting on the executive team, so I know that pressure from the inside. What I built after was Conscious Working, out of a belief that performance and wellbeing don't have to compete. Not another perk to add to the list. A way of actually working.

We built this retreat for the teams who are ready to interrupt the pattern before it costs them more.

Your team moves through a deliberate arc together, over several days away from the usual pace. Leading self first, then leading others, then leading the collective.

Grounded in our 8 Habits of a Conscious Leader framework, and held in venues chosen specifically because the environment does part of the work too.

This isn't a wellness day. There's strategic work built in alongside the practice, real conversations about trust, team dynamics, and the challenges your organisation is actually facing.

And we know your team probably has its own agenda too. Board conversations, planning sessions, the work that only happens when everyone's finally in a room together. We build that in, not around it. Every programme is shaped in a pre-retreat scoping call so the balance is right, whether that means weaving your SLT agenda through the days or designing the whole thing to sit alongside an off-site you already have planned.

Senior leadership teams. High-potential cohorts. Newly formed teams that need to build trust fast. If any of that is you, this was built with you in mind.

The Transformation

Caitlin -

“I had felt like I was in a bit of a rut—stagnant professionally and personally. I was hoping that the time and space would help me to unstick myself and discern what was holding me back. I realised I was harbouring too much self-doubt, and this retreat helped flush that out.

I feel more kindred with these leaders in six days than I would a regular person in six months or a year. I was surprised at the vulnerability that they allowed themselves to feel; it opened us up to understanding one another in a much deeper way.”

John - “Coming on a retreat and spending several days working alongside other leaders enables you to build trust and establish a strong connection quickly. It allows you to get into the nitty-gritty of your work without the usual distractions or concerns about how you are being perceived. It becomes a powerful space for reflection, challenge, and growth.”

Kate  - “Gret really is a fantastic coach and a really good leader. She's great at holding that space and that energy for people to really fully relax and let go. It's been pretty magical.”

Basia - “I came wanting to reflect on the next 10 years and what I wanted this next phase to look like. I wasn’t expecting the depth of personal reflection, but it was unexpected, valuable, and something I really needed. I’m leaving feeling replenished, with new tools and a clearer sense of how I want to move forward.”
