Fancy a rural creative retreat?
Josh Robinson first came to an online meal with 9others in amongst the Covid19 lockdowns of 2021 and is signed up to the next meal with 9others in October.
As well as being the founder of the brand consultancy 17days, Josh has a terrific 1,000 sq ft barn near his own home and after a few clients stayed over in the past couple of years he has formalised the concept of a ‘rural creative retreat’ and thought it might be of interest to the 9others community.
The retreat is aimed at founders, leaders and small teams who get to join Josh to walk, talk and tackle their most important creative challenges and opportunities.
You can get in touch with Josh on LinkedIn or via the Founder Outside retreat website here.
What? Where?
Two days. Two nights. The numbers:
One resident: £3,000 + VAT.
Two residents: £3,500 + VAT.
Three residents: £4,000 + VAT.
Josh’s barn is in the small and very quiet village of Sparsholt, just 10 minutes from Winchester, which is 1 hour on the train from Waterloo. The what3words address is right near ///snores.victory.whizzing.
As Matthew can attest, because he stayed there a couple of summers ago, there are miles and miles of tracks, trails and stunning countryside to walk through on your way to local farm shops or to provided a natural playground for reflection and creativity.
