Time-Out – we have the right location

We have spent the past 4 days researching the best possible location for our latest idea – and I think we have found it . Tucked away high up in the mountains above Nice in the beautiful Parc du Mercantour.

Grand Chapelet - Mercantour - 5

You can just spot the hotel in right hand part of the picture. The road winds its way up from the village of Belvedere a distance of about 10 k’s and ends here at the entrance to the Parc. Once you reach this spot there is no longer mobile phone cover and the locals smile overbearingly and shake their heads when we ask for a high speed internet connection. No chance in this part of the world.

We all need to see the world from 2800m from time to time – it gives a different perspective and that is the whole idea behind this project

Grand Chapelet - Mercantour - 10

The surroundings are breathtaking and I am convinced that this setting will give our participants the opportunity to participate in a reflective process while at the same time getting to enjoy a series of physically challenging outdoor activities that we have planned – which is why we call it: Time-Out.

We shall be publishing more details on this event in the weeks to come – if you are very impatient drop me a note and I will tell you what I know at this point in time.

The next 4 days we are on a special mission

This week we are taking the first steps to research our latest idea for a new workshop – we have called it Time Out.

Parc du Mercantour

It is not a course in the traditional sense but a chance for participants to take, well – a time-out .
To think about their life, where they are and where they might be going. But maybe most importantly just to take a break and recharge their batteries.

To this end we have located a very special place the parc du Mercantour here

The full program and dates will be available in about 10 days.
Space will be limited to 20 people
If you are interested to know more let me know.
