For almost 20 years I've been struggling with my relationship to money. Part of me didn't want it (I saw poverty as more spiritual and more ethical) and part of me hated being without it.

There are quite a few things I'd been planning to get around to some day ...             Retreats That Work: Designing and Conducting Effective Offsites for Groups and Organizations11 reviews Sheila Campbell, Merianne Liteman, ... Jossey-Bass, 2002 Everything you ever wanted to know "Retreats That Work" could be subtitled "Everything you ever wanted to know about retreats." Just a look at the table of contents told me that there was going to be an answer to any question I might have -- from the basic who, what, when, where and why, to the types of specialized retreats. I am in a related, but quite different, field.

Pfeiffer, 2006 This book helped me immensely This book is really worth the money. Last year I was asked to faciliate a retreat for a nonprofit organization.
