“Why Executive Teams invest in Retreats.
Firstly they want to work on their strategic vision and plan for their future as an organization, and do that without being distracted by phones ringing at the office and e-mails. Secondly, they want to work better as a group and learn about each other’s personalities, motives and communication styles. Thirdly, they come because they want to celebrate … and acknowledge the high achievers in the organization.””
This stunning Village offers executive teams the space to meet with clear heads, minimal distractions and the gift of time to reset.
The isolation and beauty of Arete, is a catalyst for deep thinking, planning and reflection. This purpose built destination of inspiring spaces was designed by Sally Duxfield (Director of Arete NZ Ltd, Makahika OPC and sallyduxfield.com) and supported and inspired by her life long friend and associate, Sally Doherty (sallyd.live), as part of their vision to deliver world class experiences for leadership teams.
Arete proffers bespoke experiences for making extraordinary memories.
