CUSTOM STAFF RETREAT

Wellness Retreats for Small Teams
 

Give your team a Day of Renewal– reconnecting to their best selves, each other, and to their WHY.

We know that running an organization or business and managing a team can possibly feel like...

 

​

  • a challenge to cultivate a shared culture where your team genuinely knows each other​

  • near constant burn-out 

  • uncertainty about how to build a culture of self-care and sustainability

  • a tangle of endless (and frustrating!) administrative tasks ​​

  • difficultly building connection when some team members (partially or only) work virtually​ or in separate departments

We believe that you can have​...

​

  • a renewed sense of purpose for everyone

  • an authentic, meaningful, and supportive work-culture 

  • a shared understanding of healthy boundaries and self care

  • mindfulness skills and practices to support work-related stress at home and in the work place

Through this retreat we will help you connect your team to each other and themselves through...

​

  • accessible yoga and meditation classes appropriate for beginners

  • Personal time to reflect 

  • small group discussion, journal prompts with customized themes

  • simple but powerful nature-connection exercises  

  • professional clothed massage therapy (optional)

  • nourishing food, tea, and snacks

"As the owner of a company, I highly recommend taking your staff to a retreat. Emily and her staff are spot on in the self-care industry.  This is a quaint setting, with loads of nature to fully relax you and bring you to center.  Emily helped set up my event and made everything effortless. 

 

The price was more than acceptable and the organization of the event itself was impeccable[…] From start to finish it was renewing, team building and wonderful in every way.  I will definitely be treating my people again next year."

"I highly recommend Earthwell for your next retreat.  It was very relaxing and brought my team together.  Emily and Ari are fantastic facilitators and run a top notch retreat. [...] Our program is different than most and it was extremely helpful to have individuals who have worked in the field to help through things with a stress free day. The best part was being reminded to give yourself permission to rest and reset."

["My favorite part of the day was..."] 

...being able to have a space to slow down, connect with myself, nature, my colleagues in really deep and meaningful ways.

... engaging with my coworkers in an unhurried manner.

...the small group discussion. Everyone was very transparent and it was such a wonderful time.

I also really enjoyed the Sound Bath.
