Tips for Retreat Planning

From the Community Tool Box: http://ctb.ku.edu

Since a retreat is supposed to help you step back and take a refreshing, new look at your work, it's important to go about it in a way that doesn't stress you out or drain your resources. Retreats that are thrown together at the last minute rarely accomplish what they're meant to, and advance planning can keep you from becoming overwhelmed and overworked with the details. This article has tons of advice for how to make your retreat successful.
