Meetings, Retreats & Accommodations

Meetings and retreats at Winds of Change Farm are designed to escape from the usual conference rooms, hotels and hectic workplace. They are a valuable option for individuals, businesses and organizations to enjoy a day of meetings and activities and stay at a unique accommodation that offers a memorable experience. Should you want to combine some vacation days, there is plenty to explore and enjoy in this beautiful fun area.

After months of virtual and remote meetings and conferences, some question why  do team building, strategy and learning events in person, etc. Despite elaborate technology, nothing can replace the relationship building aspects of a physical meeting between leaders and their teams.  "An employee's relationship with his or her direct manager is the most important factor in employee engagement," states Victor Lipman from Forbes.com, Sept. 10, 2012, "10 Reasons Why Companies Should Invest More in Management Training."

Retreats provide time to rest, reflect, refocus and regroup. Taking time to hear the horses whinny, the winds blow and hear the still small voice within, enables a sense of peace encouraging creative thought and new perspectives. This experience can be life changing, replacing anxieties and burdens with optimism and new aspirations.

Designing distinctive retreats and meetings is one of the highlights of our services.  Our custom programs will open your imagination, creativity, and thought to inspire new ways of being as an individual or team, for heightened performance.  We can combine a program with a business meeting and/or add individual coaching as needed.  The following are program illustrations:

• Leaders connecting to the authentic self
• Professional and personal growth
• Identifying and using natural talents to enhance performance
• Achieving team chemistry 
• Creating strategic and tactical plans
• Seeking direction and purpose
• Stress reduction and mindfulness
• Rest, relaxation and inspiration for balance and well-being 

*Horses and therapy dogs may be integrated into any program 

Join us for a "Hoof & Heart" equine assisted coaching experience, where you can practice and expand authenticity, connection, relating communication, and other leadership skills. You will work with our coaches and equine partners and have fun while you learn!
