Your team members release concerns and barriers that surround them in the office environment through round table discussions during their enjoyment of organic coffee and healthy meals together in one of the most protected rain forests in the world.

The nutrients fuel your team members' bodies and minds for the adventures that will allow team members to work individually and together on several adventures; feeling the challenge and power of the land, the river and the opportunities for risk assessment and overcoming fears and concerns.

When in the private estate, team members separately enjoy the magic of healing hands, waiting to rub and stretch the stress from you team members' bodies in order to balance the free mental and social exchange with the calm and settling condition of their bodies.

The team members will leave the retreat connected, aware and with the ability to see, receive and respect the different and similar views and interests of all... as a group of individuals and as a collaborative team.

                                                                   Client TESTIMONIALS

" My testimonial is not about the inches or weight that I have lost but about what I have gained! I worked out 3 times a week for 7 consecutive years until one year ago, last May 2001 I lost my only child.  For obvious reasons I lost my enthusiasm, motivation, desire and need not only to work out but also to go out.  Many people tried to convince me to get back to the gym but no one suceeded. Until I met Johnny Oye.  I want to thank Johnny, my personal trainer, life coach and friend for helping me get my life back and find a bit of joy in every day.  He calls me to make sure I am coming, he motivates me with interesting, always changing and challenging workouts.  He makes me laugh with interesting stories and funny jokes. This to me is an invaluable, immeasuarable gain that I could not have gotten anywhere else.  Thank you very much for your inspiration Johnny."  L. Goldman 2001

"Since I have been working with Johnny as my personal trainer I have lost 15 lbs. and have learned more about fitness in 3 months than I have in 10 years of working out alone.  He is well educated, a natural teacher, personable and sincerely interested in my personal goals and results.  He is number one in my book!" M. Jenkins 2002

 "Johnny has been a positive influence in every aspect of my life since we met in 2004.  I was 50, pre-menopausal and over weight.  I have had a rough few years both physically and emotionally.  Johnny has helped me through an abdominalplasty, bi-lateral hip surgery and currently breast cancer adjunctive therapy.  He has been there for me every step of the way, and for that I will forever be grateful.  His positive energy is contagious. Johnny is my trainer, my friend, my confidant and my motivator. He is a very special person." M Nyman 2008
