Hot Goals, Cold Air: How to Supercharge Your Team in 3 Days with our Corporate Retreat and Team Building Getaway
Winter is here — and while the days get shorter and the air gets cooler, it's the perfect time to reignite your team's purpose, alignment, and energy.
From June to the end of August 2025, we’re inviting visionary teams to escape the ordinary and step into a transformational team-building retreat designed to supercharge your strategy, connection, and creativity — all in just 3 days.
Why Winter is the Best Time for a Work-away
While most companies wait until January to “reboot,” the smartest teams know the magic happens when you pause mid-year to realign. There’s clarity in cold air, inspiration in stillness, and powerful momentum in carving out intentional time together — away from office distractions and Zoom fatigue.
Hot Goals, Cold Air: The 3-Day Winter Work-away Experience
A boutique-style corporate retreat designed to boost alignment, set bold goals, and reconnect your team — all wrapped in warm hospitality and winter charm.
What’s Included in Your 3-Day Goal-Setting Getaway
This isn’t a typical “team building” event. It’s a curated experience built to unlock big ideas, encourage genuine connection, and leave your team feeling grounded, inspired, and ready to finish the year strong.
✔️ 2–3 Nights Boutique Accommodation
Stay in one of our thoughtfully designed Ideas Cartel venues or partner boutique hotels — where comfort meets character, and every space invites collaboration and rest.
✔️ Facilitated Goal Setting & Team Vision Workshop
Led by expert coaches or facilitators, this workshop is the heart of the retreat. You'll reflect, realign, and co-create your next big goals — in a beautiful, fireplace-warmed room designed to foster cozy conversation and powerful breakthroughs.
✔️ Daily Breakfasts + Welcome Dinner
Fuel up with hearty breakfasts each morning, and kick things off with a curated welcome dinner where your team can break bread and start the experience off on a high note.
✔️ Fireside Wine Evenings
Each night, wind down around the fire with a glass of wine, good conversation, and winter treats. We’re talking plush blankets, flickering flames, and the kind of stories that bring teams closer together.
✔️ Meeting Spaces & Private Boardrooms
When it’s time to work, you’ll have access to private, stylishly appointed boardrooms and shared spaces designed to spark creativity without the sterile corporate vibe.
✔️ Optional Add-Ons to Elevate the Experience
Want more? You can customise your retreat with:
- Cold water plunges (for the bold!)
- Morning yoga & breath-work sessions
- Guided hikes in nature
- Curated cocktail hour
- In-room massages
- Wine tasting or storytelling nights
🌿 Cozy Details That Make the Difference
This is where the magic lies.
Each retreat is layered with little luxuries to keep your team grounded, relaxed, and open:
- In-room fireplaces to warm up after chilly hikes (fireplaces are in select rooms only)
- Winter snacks and treats like spiced nuts, hot chocolate stations, or freshly baked goods
- Coffee and wine around the fire — because the best conversations often happen off the agenda
👥 Group Discount Available: Teams of 8+
Have a team of 8 or more? You’ll unlock a special group rate for the full retreat experience. Whether you're a startup founder rallying your core team or a department head recharging your crew, this winter work-away is the reset button you've been waiting for.
