facilitators, over 100 guests tackled the key topics facing their businesses in a very special spirit of active listening, mutual support and collaboration. The quality of the thinking and atmosphere were aided in large part by the verdant natural surroundings that promoted wellbeing, healing, recreation and clarity of thought. “What I’d love people to take away is the benefits a

Please take the opportunity to collaborate and meet new people. Together, as a community, we can really make a difference.”
