Can I Work During the Retreat?

While our retreats are designed as an immersive experience, we understand that completely disconnecting isn't possible for everyone. Here's our guidance on working during your time with us.

Working During Your Retreat: What to Expect

Internet Access:

  • Wi-Fi is available throughout our facilities
  • Connection is generally reliable but occasional interruptions can occur (we are in more remote locations)
  • Speed is sufficient for most business needs including video calls, with some limitations

Dedicated Work Time:

  • The daily schedule includes personal time periods that can be used for work
  • These typically occur:
    • Early mornings (before breakfast)
    • During afternoon breaks
    • Some evenings
  • Exact times vary by day according to the program schedule

Space Considerations:

  • We ask you to not use your electronics in common areas
  • Your room can also serve as a private workspace
  • No dedicated office space or equipment is provided

Finding the Right Balance

While working is possible, we encourage mindful consideration of how much work you plan to do:

Optimal Approach:

  • Limit work to essential tasks only
  • Schedule specific work blocks rather than continuous checking
  • Inform colleagues of your limited availability
  • Set autoresponders for emails
  • Delegate when possible

Why This Matters:

  • The retreat is designed as a reset for your nervous system
  • Constant work engagement can counteract the benefits of the program
  • Digital stimulation can impact sleep quality and stress levels
  • Being present enhances integration of the practices you'll learn

Pre-Retreat Planning Tips

To minimize work disruption and maximize your retreat benefits:

  1. Inform your team: Let colleagues know you'll have limited availability
  2. Complete major projects: Wrap up important work before arriving
  3. Set boundaries: Establish specific times when you will and won't be available
  4. Request your schedule: We can provide your retreat schedule in advance to help plan work commitments

Schedule Considerations

We can provide your full retreat schedule before arrival to help you plan work commitments. While the schedule is fixed for group activities, we may be able to make minor adjustments to individual sessions if absolutely necessary.

Alternative Options

If you're concerned about balancing work with the retreat experience:

  • Consider our 5-day program which requires less time away
  • Schedule your retreat during a naturally quieter work period
  • Explore whether a working retreat is right for you at this time

Remember, the greatest benefits come from full immersion in the program. While we accommodate working guests, the retreat is designed as a pause from everyday demands to focus on your wellbeing.
