RICHMOND – Adult Retreat Weekend

November 1 - November 3

Hyatt House Richmond/Short Pump11800 West Broad Street Suite 1098, Henrico, VA 23233 (located in Short Pump Town Center)

VHF’s Adult Retreat is a weekend designed for education, relaxation, support, and friendship. This fall retreat is the perfect opportunity for you to learn, unwind and connect with others who share your experience.

Enjoy an (optional) Friday night educational dinner and movie screening of On The Shoulders Of Giants, then on Saturday GutMonkey  facilitator Joe Torrey, will present their leading Edge Program which will tackle topics like building communities, teamwork, getting clued in on current topics in bleeding disorders, and shared decision making. Joe will have you laughing and making new connections in the community. We will end the weekend with an (optional) Saturday night educational dinner “Fueling Your Future with Smart Choices” where you will learn healthy eating habits to fuel your body and improve your emotional well-being.

Presenter: Joe Torrey believes good learning begins with intentional design and a playful approach. With a degree in Outdoor Education and years of professional experience in team building, summer camp, and environmental education programs, Joe crafts and implements experiences to facilitate positive change in communities, teams, and mindsets. At GutMonkey, Joe uses creative design and digital content to empower folks to share their stories.
