Format
Since we’ll be meeting on Zoom, the format is different from an in-person retreat.
We’ll be sending out some Food for Thought before the retreat with some suggested topics and questions to reflect on in preparation for the weekend.
On Friday, we’ll have a short intro session, introducing our staff, the format of the weekend, and do some icebreakers as a group! You can select between two times, 2pm-4pm or 8:30-10:30pm EDT, whichever best accommodates your time zone!
On Saturday, we’ll start off with a short testimony. This is followed by a series of Group Discussions in small groups of 8, 4 ladies, 4 gents. These discussions will be followed by a short One-on-One Conversations (around 8 minutes each using breakout rooms). You’ll have a chance to meet each of the members of the opposite gender in your group.
This will repeat 4 times on Saturday and 2 times on Sunday. Each Group Discussion will have a different question with different people. By the end of the weekend you’ll have been in a group with and had a chance to connect one-on-one with each person of the opposite gender. We’ll close out the weekend with some goals, next steps, and tips on how to follow up with people you met throughout the weekend!
