Expansion Retreat: HAVEN x Ralia
Our first annual team retreat.
In mid-January, we had our first annual team building retreat with our internal team, held in an intentional 5-day container by Ralia Retreats at their chalet in the Laurentian mountains.
THE EXPANSION RETREAT
We didn’t want to rent just any chalet for our retreat. What we wanted was a customized experience; a hybrid wellness—work retreat that would allow us to come together, align on the same frequency and experience the expansion of the greater vision together. Through fun, rest, reflection, planning and productivity, we could create balance. We could set the tone for the year. We could move the needle forward for HAVEN in a grounded and strategic way.
The experience was thoughtfully planned by our founder Liana in collaboration with Mya of Ralia Retreats who, as a former client of ours, already had a good understanding and appreciation of our company. Following an itinerary that revolved around the 4 elements, we enjoyed music recorded just for us in collaboration with sound artist Ashley Alchemist, guided meditations, journaling prompts, embodiment exercises and nature immersions. We also had the opportunity to enjoy food made with love by private chef – or, as we like to call him, cheftertainer — Thomas Di Donato, whose abundant meals and snacks allowed us to stay in our flow throughout the retreat. Having these details taken care of beforehand made it easy to go through the week with focus and intention, allowing for powerful moments of co-creation.
