From Wellness to Workplace Success: The SOHA Team Retreat…

Written by

We’re cutting through the corporate jargon—to focus on what really matters: people. Our goal is to ensure that your team or leaders return healthier, more aligned, energised, and ready to ignite real change.

In today’s fast-paced corporate world, success is ultimately about people. A thriving business depends on a motivated, empowered workforce and a positive workplace culture.

Yet, despite significant investment in employee wellbeing programs, many organisations still struggle to get it right.

A bespoke SOHA Team Retreat provides a solution, combining our personal wellness expertise with elite sports performance thinking in a powerful, winning formula.

Our Team Retreats provide a performance edge, offering immersive experiences to help teams build trust, and become more aligned, energised, and resilient—with famous sporting icons, industry experts, and our wellbeing gurus guiding your journey.

We’re not just providing wellbeing and life-changing skills at an individual level, but by working across the team as a collective whole, we empower the entire group for personal, team and business success.

Redefining Corporate Retreats: The SOHA Approach

At SOHA, we focus on impact by doing things differently. We’ve redefined corporate retreats by placing personal health, emotional intelligence, and personal growth at the core—but that’s not all.

Layered on top are game-changing lessons from the world of sport that define high-performance teams.

This means we are not only developing life skills that enhance personal wellbeing, but also strengthening team dynamics.

By building trust and commitment on a deeper level, participants return to their organisations as an empowered team, ready to contribute to a healthier, more positive, and high-performing workplace.

Key Benefits of a SOHA Team Retreat

Personal Wellbeing at the Core

Our retreats prioritise personal wellbeing because we believe that healthier, happier individuals make for stronger teams. Participants engage in activities like meditation, mindfulness, breathwork and also benefit from personal therapy sessions, all designed to reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and promote emotional balance. These benefits not only improve participants’ everyday lives but also translate into higher energy, focus, and resilience in the workplace.

Life Skills That Improve Business Performance

The life skills developed on a SOHA Team Retreat—emotional regulation, stress management, self-awareness—are applicable beyond personal wellbeing. In the workplace, these skills improve communication, decision-making, and leadership. Participants leave the retreat better equipped to handle challenges, communicate effectively, and contribute positively to their teams and organisations.

Building Trust for a Stronger Team

Trust is the foundation of any success, and at SOHA, we focus on creating an environment where teams build stronger bonds, learn to support and understand one another on a deeper level, and become more aligned in their goals. This sense of trust fosters a culture of collaboration, innovation, and mutual respect, leading to stronger relationships and higher performance back in the workplace.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) for High-Performing Teams

A key focus of our retreats is developing emotional intelligence, both individually and within the team. Through workshops and guided activities, participants enhance their self-awareness, empathy, and interpersonal skills, leading to more cohesive, supportive, and high-performing teams. Teams with higher EQ can navigate conflict, build stronger relationships, and maintain a positive, productive environment.

Team-Based Challenges to Strengthen Collaboration

Attendees participate in exciting team-based challenges that encourage collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving. Whether it’s a physical challenge, strategic game, or outdoor adventure, these activities build trust and camaraderie among team members. They also enhance your team’s ability to work together under pressure, fostering resilience and effective communication.

The Power of Sporting Icons and Wellbeing Gurus

A distinctive feature of SOHA Team Retreats is the opportunity to work alongside legends of sport, renowned for their leadership and high-performance mindset. These sporting icons join your team during the retreat to share their wisdom, inspiring participants to push their limits and reach new levels of personal and professional achievement.

Paired with our wellbeing gurus and experts from business and industry, we offer a unique blend of guidance that empowers teams to excel in both work and life.

A Change in Environment for a Change in Mindset

Stepping out of the office and into a new, inspiring environment has a profound effect on mindset and creativity. Whether it’s the historic grounds of Caer Rhun Hall in Snowdonia or the breathtaking beaches of Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Portugal, our retreat locations provide a fresh landscape that encourages personal reflection, new perspectives, and a renewed sense of purpose.

These inspiring environments facilitate breakthroughs in personal and team development that wouldn’t be possible in everyday surroundings.

Bespoke Retreats Tailored to Your Team’s Needs

While SOHA offers a winning formula, we understand that every organisation has unique needs and objectives. That’s why our retreats are completely bespoke and can be tailored in terms of location, duration, and specific focus areas.

Whether you’re looking for a short, intensive 3-day retreat or a week-long transformational experience, we design each retreat to meet the goals of your specific team.

The Value of Spending 3 Days or Longer Together

Why do longer retreats provide deeper, more lasting benefits? Spending three days or more together in a focused, immersive environment allows participants to fully disconnect from their usual routines and dive deeper into personal and team development.

Longer retreats give individuals the time to reflect, absorb new concepts, and build stronger connections with their team members. This extended time fosters real, meaningful change that sticks, leading to greater long-term impact for both individuals and the organisation.

What Individuals and Teams Can Expect

For Individuals

Participants will leave with greater self-awareness, improved emotional intelligence, and enhanced wellbeing. They will feel recharged, motivated, and equipped with the skills to handle stress, build better relationships, and contribute more effectively at work and all areas of life.

For Teams

Teams will return more cohesive, aligned, and empowered. Having built trust and strengthened their collaboration, they will communicate more openly, work together more effectively, and approach challenges with a positive, solution-oriented mindset.

For Leaders

Leaders will gain a deeper understanding of how to inspire and lead with empathy. They’ll return with practical tools to manage and motivate their teams more effectively, creating a healthier, more productive workplace culture.

SOHA and Athletic Minds Innovation: A Holistic Approach

Our corporate retreats are run in parallel with Athletic Minds Innovation, ensuring that the personal and team development achieved during the retreat is sustained long after participants return to work.

By integrating Athletic Minds Innovation’s holistic approach to workforce health—focusing on organisational culture, leadership, and employee wellbeing—we help businesses create long-lasting, meaningful change that boosts both performance and overall wellbeing.

Global Locations That Inspire and Transform

We offer retreats in a variety of stunning locations, from the tranquil surroundings of Caer Rhun Hall in Snowdonia to the tropical beaches of Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Portugal. A change of landscape not only refreshes the mind but also encourages creative thinking and new approaches to challenges, making it the perfect environment for personal and team growth.

A SOHA Team Retreat is much more than your typical management development workshop—it’s an investment in the future of your people and your business. By focusing on personal wellbeing, emotional intelligence, trust-building, and team cohesion, we help individuals and teams unlock their full potential.
