Reflections on the second version of Relief Retreats.

As we prepare to embark on our second Relief Retreat in October 2020, it seemed a good time to share what I mean when I say “evidence-based.” If I’m going to offer a service to someone, and charge them an out-of-pocket expense, I want to be sure it works!

The major downside to the first retreat was the time (2 weeks) and expense. (Most people cannot leave work or family for 2 weeks, and the cost would have been $6000 per person had I not subsidized 75% of it with my own funds; bear in mind that I had an independent body collect and analyze the data so there would be no conflict of interest.)
