Family Renewal Retreat™

Designed specifically for families who do not have a family business and want to renew or strengthen their family relationships and family connections.  Predicated on the idea of positive psychology and preventative maintenance the Family Renewal Retreat™ allows family members to utilize their family values as a resource for renewal.  The retreat is based on the facilitator's 30 years of successful experience of strengthening family relationships in family-owned businesses and families of wealth. 

The Family Renewal Retreat™ consists of a pre-retreat meeting to establish the family's goals, the two to two and one-half day retreat, and the follow-up telephone calls to ensure that the momentum established at the retreat continues.

–Accommodates from four to twelve family members
–Retreat agenda:
  • Use of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as a tool to understand differences in the family;
  • Creation of the Common Family Vision to unite the family in a superordinate goal;
  • Utilizing the Collaborative Team Skills process as a tool to strengthen communication within the family;
  • All of us have expectations of what a good family is that are never discussed.  The family expectation discussion offers families an opportunity to identify, discuss, and negotiate family expectations;
  • Appreciative Inquiry discussion with the family designed to create positive family relationships.  Using the principle of Appreciative Inquiry family members identify and implement a plan to strengthen family relationships; and
  • Family Forgiveness Ritual™ is where family members participate in a ritual to forgive each other for past hurts and create a new beginning in their family.  The ritual includes sharing a "pot luck" meal.

The Myers-Briggs, Common Family Vision and the Collaborative Team Skills are a part of every Family Renewal Retreat™.  Families are able to choose an additional segment from the remaining three choices to best suit their family's needs.  In all instances the retreat will close with the creation of an Action Plan to implement the initiatives created at the retreat.
