FOL Staff Retreat!!!

Posted by sbowler on May 4, 2015

Fountain of Life seven (7) staff members and counselors went on a three day retreat at the lake in Mangochi from 1st  to 3rd May 2015. The aim of the retreat was for the staff from Lilongwe and Blantyre to know one another, share experiences, learn from each other, take a break from their jobs and relax.

The retreat was held at Jasvin Cottage in Mangochi along Lake Malawi. The scenery itself was breathtaking and relaxing. They opted for self-catering service which made it even more easier to bond and get to know one other by sharing and helping with chores. There were several exercises to build and strengthen trust, learning more about counseling skills, listening skills and more. There were also fun games that enabled the members to build strong friendships and trust.

It was a refreshing trip whereby members were not allowed to talk about work, clients and stressful topics which encouraged the members to have a "negative-free" environment. At the end of the retreat the members were relaxed and eager to return to work with positive energy and with hope to have another retreat.
