Teamwork may be the most important variable in successful professional practice. To a significant extent, one’s ability to be helpful depends in large measure on effectiveness in building teams and contributing to team efforts.

In my opinion there is nothing that exemplifies the art of teamwork more than a human body in full health! 70 trillion individual cells working “together” perfectly from day till dawn. Keeping us alert, keeping us energized and allowing us to create.

As a Health Coach, I provide Team Building Retreats that will educate your students or employees on the key components of a successful team - teamwork, communication, trust and selflessness. Without a balance of these essentials a team will lack vitality, health and direction and will most likely never attain its goals.

I currently offer 2 types of retreats - a 1 day trip or an overnight stay at the beautiful Sun God Mountain Retreat (Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China). See further details on this location below.

Our Objectives:

> To manage resources and build rapport
> To describe and understand successful teams
> To identify personal preferences and resolve conflicts
> To clarify team roles
> To identify competition and collaboration
> To establish common ground and make team decisions
> To communicate effectively
> To identify sources of conflict
> To have fun!

Approved by the Chinese Medical Association, the Sun God Mountain Retreat is located amidst the beautiful scenery of Maotian mountain, located near Sanzhao Town, Jinwan District, Zhuhai, 40 minutes west by car or bus from Huafa New Town Community Health Center.

It is a great place to visit and stay for Schools, Families, Businesses and Tourists offering a beautiful environment for team-work building, rest & recuperation and deeper understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese culture.

A key theme of the Sun God Mountain Retreat is preservation of nature and local communities. They preserve nature and wildlife and practice sustainability in all that they do. With 194 acres of sub-tropical hills and forest, the Sun God Mountain Retreat offers many beautiful places to spend time in nature. There are spots for quiet contemplation as well as for gathering in groups for classes and other activities.
