July 2009 Welsh Mountain Retreat Pilot
Mar 7th, 2012 by Sarah Maliphant
The story of More to… Mountain Retreats is a story of creating work that I love. It’s a story of coaching enabling someone to do way more than they’d imagined. It’s the story of sussing out how to share a service and environment that nurtures, restores, reconnects and makes you laugh. And it’s a story of the ripple effects of the delightful nudge that made me realise I could certainly run a pilot weekend with some friends, and just see how that went….
The rest is a growing dream – now 16 happy Mountain Retreats with guests, much learning, and many, many little steps.
