The House A retreat that cannot pay for itself is a promise with a hole in it The morning after a retreat closes is reconciliation: invoices, the debrief, the note to the vendor who was paid on time. The House You cannot make a group think well, but you can build the room where it happens It has agreed, quietly, about what will not be said.
