If you are planning a corporate wellness retreat several items should be considered. For example, at a silent retreat you would want a large country house or small hotel where you can control the noise as much as possible. The location should be well-heated with the possibility of a large open space to do yoga and meditation. There should be plenty of outside space maybe a swimming pool, hiking trails and hammocks to laze around on during your time off. Make sure to hire a catering company at your wellness retreat location or ask for a vegetarian menu from the hotel to keep everyone healthy with tons of energy. Remember to put the phones away and enjoy the team building activities.
