Testimonials from prior retreats: 

• “We were all amazed at the depth and vulnerability that showed up in the space under Maureen’s guidance and care.” 
• “We have a strong forum group, but I am amazed at how much tighter we have gotten because of this process. Great job, Maureen!” 
• “Many thanks to Maureen for helping us create such a brilliant foundation for our ongoing relationships.” 
• “The survey question ‘Facilitator ability to adjust and adapt content as needed’ was really fantastic. Maureen gets 11 out of 10!” 
• “Maureen was excellent. This was our first time using a facilitator and now I understand the value.” 
• “I didn’t realize how much we needed a facilitated retreat until we were in the middle of it. We learned some new Forum 2.0 presentation styles that will deliver much greater value to our Forum moving forward. Our forum was getting stale but now we’re re-energized!” 
• “I loved how Maureen was able to shoot straight with our group and uncover issues that we didn’t all know even existed within our group. She helped us save a few members and probably the whole forum by helping us address some root issues that could potentially dismantle the group.”
