Our retreat was centered around balance in our lives. We rented a beautiful seven bedroom house out on Willis point called the View and spent two nights there. We started with a painting class at four Cats where we all took direction from an art teacher and created one of a kind masterpieces. We cooked our own dinner the first night and had our FBA Team meeting.
The next morning we ate a good breakfast and then waited for our bus to pick us up and we drove to Merridale Cidery, new FBA Family Member, where we had a tour and learned all about the process of making cider and other distilled liquor from their fruit. After a nice lunch there, we took our bus back to our house and then had a lecture from a nutritionist and an open discussion around sleep habits and finding ways to encourage movement in our daily lives.
We then had a 4 course catered dinner by a local chef followed by a game night. Sunday morning we had a class on Core Breath and Pilates and we were given journals and guidebooks as a takeaway. We wanted to have fun and stay closer to home this time and really focus on work, life, and health balance. It was a success and we stayed within budget!
