The Summus Retreat: creating the opportunity to develop an atmosphere between the members of a group that encourages a free and open exchange of ideas, points of view and perceptions.
A retreat, with dialogue at its centre, has the power to set the mind free encouraging people to explore even the most difficult of issues and so, new and original thinking is discovered, as mutual understanding between group members emerges.
Putting the requirements of our client centre stage Summus Consulting designs, facilitates and interprets retreats for a wide range of organisations.
"Now if we think together, then maybe we can solve our common problems."
David Bohm
Dialogue differs from normal conversation in that it helps us to bridge the increasing diversity found within the organisations and communities of today. In dialogue we are able to penetrate behind the notions of superficiality and defensiveness, which many people surround themselves with. And because we learn to listen to each other with an authenticity that forges a bond between us, we discover in dialogue, a powerful communications practice that can transform those who engage in it.
