A well-designed retreat is where teams reconnect, leaders align and boards set direction. Long Table plans and facilitates retreats that mix learning, alignment and honest conversation - so your time away creates momentum that lasts long after you return.
Long Table engages in your retreat based on your goals. We listen first, then determine how we can support the outcomes you have planned - for teams, senior leadership teams and boards.
Retreats with a purpose
Retreat facilitation for leadership teams and boards
Too many retreats are either all work and no connection, or all fun and no follow-through. Long Table designs retreats that do both - meaningful learning and real relationship-building, anchored to the decisions and direction your group needs to leave with.
We work with you to understand where your team, leadership team or board is - then build an agenda from our retreat services, facilitate the time together, and help you turn the outcomes into a plan you'll act on.

Who we design for
Built for the group in the room
The right retreat looks different for a working team, a senior leadership team and a board. We tailor the tone, content and outcomes to each.
Teams
Reconnect a working team, build trust and a shared language, and align on how you’ll work together going forward.
Senior Leadership Teams
Step back from the day-to-day to align on strategy, sharpen priorities and strengthen the team at the top.
Boards
Focus on governance, direction and mission - productive, well-facilitated sessions that make the most of limited time together.
Retreat services
Long Table Retreats
Every agenda is customized to your group and goals.
Workshop & custom training
Bring any Long Table workshop - 5 Voices, 5 Gears, the Peace Index, the Communication Code, Working Genius - into your retreat, or we’ll build custom training content tailored to your team’s needs.
Organizational clarity | mission, vision & values alignment
Define or refine the mission, vision and values that guide your organization - and get everyone in the room genuinely aligned on what you’re building and how you’ll behave.
Strategic planning
Guided sessions that set direction and turn it into a plan. Using the proven C.O.R.E. process, we help your team or board clarify goals and priorities, assign responsibilities, set timelines and build the accountability measures to get there and track progress.
Healthy culture design
Culture is who we are - our values in action. When we live them well, we create the kind of environment where people and performance can thrive. We help you name that culture and plan the practical steps to strengthen it.
Retreat facilitation
A skilled, neutral facilitator keeps the conversation productive, makes sure every voice is heard, navigates hard topics and keeps your group moving toward the outcomes that matter.

What clients say
Trusted by teams, leaders and boards
The 5 Voices framework has had such a positive impact on our new and remote nonprofit team! Thanks to Linnea, we have begun to leverage the framework to enhance our collective communication, collaboration, and overall team dynamic. Her structure quickly provided insight into previously misunderstood behaviors and tendencies which ultimately has since enhanced my leadership style to lead to clear and insightful self-understanding, more effective and enhanced remote team communication and collaboration, increased empathy, understanding and trust, ultimately reducing misunderstandings and conflict and improving employee engagement and satisfaction.
Linnea has a unique ability to create an environment where every participant feels heard while keeping the group focused on outcomes. Her facilitation style encourages candid conversations, builds consensus, and helps diverse stakeholders align around shared priorities. Through individual stakeholder interviews conducted before each retreat, she gained valuable insights that allowed our planning sessions to address real issues and opportunities rather than surface-level discussions. Using her CORE Process, our Board identified priorities, assigned responsibilities, established timelines, and developed accountability measures that continue to guide our work today. The comprehensive post-session reports provided by Long Table have become valuable working documents that our Board and staff regularly reference as we implement strategic initiatives.
Linnea brings her expertise in human and relational intelligence into the practical world of her clients. She will challenge clients to let go of the things that are holding them back and give them the tools they need to take immediate action to accomplish their personal goals with a caring and compassionate approach.
