Why Plan a Spring Retreat?
After months of winter hibernation and remote work fatigue, spring offers the perfect opportunity to reenergize your team.

Outdoor Inspiration: Where Ideas Take Root
Some of the best ideas come when we step outside the boardroom. Chimney Hill’s peaceful surroundings encourage mindfulness, creativity, and big-picture thinking. Your team can gather under flowering trees for an outdoor brainstorming session, walk the grounds for one-on-one coaching conversations, or sit around a fire pit to swap stories after sunset.
Want to add nature-based team-building? Consider hosting a scavenger hunt, nature walk, or garden clean-up activity to encourage collaboration in a relaxed, rewarding environment.
