"Rested, we are ready for the world but not held hostage by it,
rested we care again for the right things and the right people in the right way.
In rest we re-establish the goals that make us more generous, more courageous, more of an invitation,
someone we want to remember, and someone others would want to remember too."
​

“I feel incredibly fortunate that my company ... places a high priority on the mental and
emotional well-being of [its] employees. It has been a tremendous privilege to be invited to address and alleviate my stressors. I believe that this retreat has not only improved my ability to perform ... but also deepened my appreciation for the humans within the
company.”
“Connecting with industry leaders on a personal/emotional level is frowned upon in a 'typical professional’ environment, but building that vulnerability and connection with other leaders in my organization could have profound effects.”
