Retreat to Honeywood and disconnect to connect
When your day starts off at Honeywood instead of the office you’re like a kid on Christmas morning
It’s 4:45 am, and your alarm goes off earlier than you had prepared. On the contrary, getting up is easy, because you remember it’s the UCLEx Market WRAP Retreat at Honeywood. You immediately picture yourself surrounded by nature’s beauty immersed in stillness and serenity all the while learning to prepare your soul for 2021.
The beauty of the Honeywood experience gives the guests an imagination to explore, relax, and refresh their mind, body, and soul
When ULECx was looking for team building retreat ideas, there were few to none that compared to a corporate retreat venue like Honeywood Valley. Honeywood excitedly welcomed attendants of the WRAP Retreat, which stands for Wind down from 2020, Refresh your soul, Anchor your spirit, Prepare for 2021. These attendees had the pleasure of staying in Honeywood’s Lodge for their retreat weekend, which sleeps 13 guests.
The days were filled with a variety of speakers guiding an experience to help connect with those to the mind & body, Holy Spirit and other like-minded Christian business leaders from Birmingham, AL. At the end of the first day’s sessions, everyone celebrated and took communion together. The attendees also made time to take group and individual breaks, whether that was a nature walk, relaxing on the beach, or discovering many of the other experiences available at Honeywood.
