I first heard the word 'retreat' in conjunction with church groups and I had no idea what that entailed, since I had precious little experience with 'church', sad to say. But the notion one should reserve a little time to tune in to a deeper conversation with yourself or with your higher power is a good one. Striving to go deep or toward a concept of excellence is not the common lot, but i do not see why most folks couldn't benefit from it.
Corporate retreats may be great but without some more universal standard, as you describe the one you undertook, they may not have the same panache. Confronting our relationship with the infinite part, may set the proper goalposts.
My son has the word "arete" in Greek tatooed on his arm. He lives that concept as an athlete, scientist and person. I admire him greatly.
Cheers to my fellow Campbell acolytes! I will be publishing a collection of my favorite JC quotes and an essay about the hero's journey in the future.
Beautifully written, and great pics! Thanks for showing up and inspiring us, my friend.
