Secluded Sites Make for Successful Meetings

June's issue of Meetings Focus West is one geared towards eco-friendly meetings and secluded retreats. Companies are looking for retreats and getaways that allow a full focus on their meeting's agenda. They are now meeting at places that offer peaceful powwows without the distraction of other vacationers and professionals that you would typically find at a hotel or convention. This goes to show that larger companies are focusing on their own environmental impacts, and they are finally doing something about it. Whether it is starting a recycling program at the office, or planning office getaways at an environmentally-friendly venue, companies are really making the effort to reduce their carbon footprint. We are very excited about two of Meetings Focus West's feature articles that highlight the importance of green venues and nature-surrounded retreats.


The first article, "Going Wild," emphasizes non-traditional meeting sites. The article states, "Groups can experience green in the truest sense of the word by taking advantage of parks and conservation areas all across the West." 


The second article, "Hideaway Havens," promotes intimacy of a place that allow groups to focus on their meetings rather than be disturbed by outside distractions.

We are happy that green venues are gaining popularity, and we hope that Hidden Valley Retreat and Spa will continue to be recognized as a nature-loving distraction-free venue for any company's needs. Hidden Valley Retreat and Spa commits to carrying on the practices of Dr. Jensen, who owned the property for 60 years and ran it as a world-renowned holistic health ranch.To read about Hidden Valley Retreat and all of our green practices, click here.
