The retreat provides access to a development opportunity that equips people from all cultural backgrounds with a chance to develop as inclusive leaders within Deloitte. Participants will take part in a mixture of dinners, panel discussions, knowledge sharing workshops and team building activities. The retreat offers participants the opportunity to build an intimate understanding of the social cultural challenges faced within the workplace and wider society and provides a space for members to reflect on their role in overcoming these challenges.
The retreat brings together diverse professionals from across a range of industry sectors; creating value by harnessing diversity of thought. It leaves participants feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, helping them to develop valuable soft skills and the emotional intelligence to perform better in their role, and ultimately progress in their career.

The retreat is rooted in the philosophy of Ubuntu – "I am because we are" – a principle that highlights the strength of collective experience. Research in leadership and team development has consistently shown that shared experiences, particularly those outside conventional work environments, foster stronger professional relationships, enhance collaboration, and improve problem-solving abilities.
We have welcomed countless groups who have discovered that professional growth is often most effective when paired with immersive, community-driven experiences. The shared accommodation offer a unique combination of comfort, privacy, and the opportunity to connect on a deeper level with colleagues. While many professional retreats rely on individual hotel rooms that can reinforce workplace hierarchies and limit interaction, our carefully designed accommodation encourages meaningful dialogue, organic networking, and the breaking down of professional silos.
The accommodation sites provide high-quality indoor accommodation. The retreat space includes a large log cabin for communal meals and discussions, a separate shower and toilet block, and extensive outdoor areas that allow for both structured activities and informal social engagement. These facilities ensure that while accommodation is shared, every participant has access to personal comfort and essential amenities.
The importance of shared experiences in professional settings is well-documented. Research from Harvard Business Review suggests that psychological safety—the ability to take interpersonal risks without fear of embarrassment—is one of the strongest predictors of successful teams. Creating an environment where professionals feel comfortable sharing ideas, reflecting on their work, and engaging in open discussions is central to what we offer. Our retreat model supports this by encouraging informal conversations, promoting trust, and allowing participants to see colleagues in a different light, away from the formal structures of the workplace.
Feedback from past retreats highlights how professionals return to their roles with a renewed sense of camaraderie, a greater understanding of their colleagues' strengths, and a fresh perspective on teamwork and leadership. The experience is designed to provide a thoughtful balance between structured professional development, personal reflection, and the kind of informal interactions that often lead to the most valuable insights.
