Hot Goals, Cold Air: The “Quick Connect” Strategy Retreat with Ideas Cartel

Forget the bland boardroom. This winter, take your team somewhere inspiring — where firelight, fresh air, and focused strategy collide.

Our new “Quick Connect” package is designed for teams who want to break away from the usual for a powerful off-site goal-setting session — all within 24 hours.

Whether you're realigning for the next quarter, onboarding key hires, or setting bold mid-year goals, this one-night boutique experience gives your team the space, clarity, and energy boost it needs to get aligned and reconnected — fast.

What is the Quick Connect Retreat?

A 24-hour curated team escape that blends productivity and connection in one boutique-style experience.

Ideal for:

• Leadership or exec team alignment
• Quarterly strategy sessions
• New team kickoffs or planning sprints
• Mid-year check-ins or project reboots

All the intention of a retreat. None of the complexity.

🏡 What’s Included

🛏️ 1-Night Boutique Stay

Stay in one of our premium venues — designed for comfort, style, and quiet focus. Think cozy bedrooms, artful interiors, and thoughtful touches that elevate the experience.

🔥 Fireplace-Warmed Strategy & Goal-Setting Session

Ditch the sterile meeting room — we’ve created a dedicated space with a crackling fireplace, natural light, and a relaxed atmosphere to help your team think clearly and dream bigger. Bring your facilitator or tap into our network of coaches for a guided session.

🍽️ Welcome Snacks, Breakfast & Fireside Dinner

Arrive to a warm welcome with snacks and coffee. Wrap up the day with a cozy dinner around the fire, and start the next morning with a nourishing breakfast to fuel ideas and next steps.

💼 Access to Private Meeting & Workshop Space

You’ll have access to a professionally outfitted boardroom or collaborative lounge space — all the tools you need, none of the corporate coldness.

❄️ Optional Add-Ons:

• Breath-work or yoga to start or close your session
• Cold plunge challenge for the brave
• Cocktail hour or wine tasting
• Guided hikes
