Our Visiting Gnome in Costa Rica Explores Costa Rica for his Spiritual Life Lift!

To Thy Own Gnome be True!   Our European Gnome traveled to Costa Rica for his "Life Lift Vacation".

Today's hot spot was  the House of Self Empowerment located in Escazu, Costa Rica.

This retreat location in tropical Costa Rica, frequently sponsors special educational programs for mind, body and  spirit as well as "group rentals".  Massage tables and nooks for gatherings make this a great group location for art and wellness instruction and educational classes. The hostess offers moderate budget amenities and is flexible to group's needs.   The House of Self Empowerment also has overnight lodging and a "big chill group kitchen"   Note: When I visited today, Vicki had just hosted a health detox group for the weekend.

Planning a Summer Group Retreat?  Consider Costa Rica's Green Season!  Travel deals abound and variety of vacation options make it a top choice for summer sabbatical.   Note:  Many visitors adore Costa Rica's 1-2 hours of rain each day in the June - August Green Season, perfect for napping with   plenty of sunshine assured.

Consider a Creativity Camp This Summer.

Did you know that Self-Esteem in children is determined by the age of 5?and that our creativity rapidly declines with our move into fears, judgment and into adulthood?

Nurturing Creativity in Children is as essential as ABC's  So why not consider a Creativity Camp this summer for the entire family!

On Creativity Camps for Children and Parents  (Boston & South Africa)

      Yesterday my young friend, Noel came over to work with me in the  kitchen   What fun and what creativity in cake decorating!  As I prepare to teach at this year's  Creative Problem Solving Institute Conference in Boston and the ACRE Education Conference in South Africa, I think of the courses I have taught to young women that link the tribal rituals of the kitchen to both creativity and self-esteem.  Last year I was honored to be asked to work with the girls at the Oprah Winfrey School in South Africa.  I can't wait for that opportunity , perhaps when I'm back teaching at the educational conference in October.   www.sacreativity.com

Back in the U.S. I also enjoyed hosting "Teddy Bear Teas".  Amazing what you can learn about children through the conversation with their bears! 

 Consider a Creativity Camp for your Children this summer.  There's one coming up this June that I can highly recommend in Boston, Mass and as a Parent you can nurture your creativity too.

www.cpsiconference.com.  Last year I taught the girls and boys "Go Wild! Safari Skills" linked to my book "Go Wild! Survival Skills for Business and Life".  Each day of the program I saw immense creativity in action with an expert world faculty specializing in creative education.

If you are really in for a creative family adventure and safari, of course consider joining me in South Africa this October www.sacreativity.com.

  

On Creative, Volunteer Retreats in Costa Rica

        When I first moved to Costa Rica, my approach to learning Spanish was teaching a cooking class to abused young girls that were cared for by a group of Catholic Sisters.  The girls were the best teachers of spanish , love and life I have ever had!  They also taught me the critical skill of handling 15 talking girls at one time. Not Easy!  I also learned how volunteering can be an incredible educational and travel experience of a lifetime for the entire family.

         If you are visiting Costa Rica, consider volunteerism as part of your itinerary.  I'll be happy to connect you and your family!

Go Wild! Go GREAT!

Create a Corporate Think Tank & Survive/Thrive the Economy

We all know that  it's no time for Business as Usual.  The good news amidst the bad economic news is this:   "Revolutionary business ideas-- if not miracles  are certain to occur during this economic crisis"  and the reason is Painful:  Organizations and individuals need Pain to Change.  Pity but it's true.We don't give up smoking until we can no longer endure the cough.  We don't diet until we see the painful picture and we don't change our business model until we have enough pain/loss to look at other options.  Or is there another option?   Imagine having a Think Tank Before you need one?  Imagine creating one now. Imagine Creative Thinking as a Year-Round Process and not a Crisis Situation Room.

For years I have been asked about the ROI on "Business Ideation and Creativity Sessions" that force Executives and Teams  to "forget about what is and imagine what could be".  While many companies talk about having innovation and creativity in their organizations and in their annual reports, the number of companies that host annual ideation sessions or think tanks and have a Chief Creativity Officer is much smaller.  Note:  Those that do tend to be on the list of the most progressive companies.  That is until now....Now there is sufficient pain to seek creative solutions and business revolutions!

   Contact us for a Free Guide to Setting up a Group/Think Tank/Business Ideation Program in your organization at rosemary@gowildgogreat.com   or visit www.gowildgogreat.com .  Our program includes a Business Ideation Workshop & Retreat to Tackle Your Critical Business Challenges, A Train the Trainer Program to establish year round creativity work sessions and a Tool-box of Creativity/Business Ideation Tools used by the most progressive think tanks.

Executives Retreat to the Rainforest to Find their Way Through Economic Forests

 

Some call it an economic war zone. Perhaps that's why Executives are  retreating  to nearby Costa Rica for Executive Immersion and Critical Business Planning Sessions.  According to Retreats and Business Meetings Costa Rica  this small and peaceful, Latin American country is not only more affordable than retreat and meeting sites in most major U.S. Cities, Costa Rica provides the ideal sanctuary for strategic thinking and team building.

"We get them out of their "Bored Rooms so Executives will think differently" It's not a time for Business as Usual. The Team at BMCR combines professional meeting facilitation with secluded locations amidst Costa Rica's tropical paradise.
