Retreats

Sometimes the most important work happens when we step away from the work.

The Next Peace designs and facilitates engaging retreats that create space for reflection, connection, learning, and meaningful conversation.

Whether you're bringing together a board, staff team, leadership group, or volunteer leaders, retreats offer an opportunity to strengthen relationships, explore new possibilities, and reconnect with the mission that brought you together.

Every retreat is customized to meet your organization's goals, culture, and current realities.

Celebrating successes and lessons learned

Participants leave with renewed energy, deeper connections, and a stronger sense of shared purpose.

“Ellen, once again, enriched our annual Power and Progress event. She delivered a powerful and bold, yet playful and light icebreaker to engage the audience before the keynote speaker. Following that, her personal introduction painted a vivid picture of an amazing entrepreneurial family. Thank you, Ellen - you always deliver above expectations!”
