WORK RETREATS
TEAM BUILDING | BUSINESS GROWTH | WORKPLACE WELLNESS
Give your people time to reconnect.
When work gets busy, it’s easy to spend every conversation solving problems and getting things done. A retreat gives people a chance to slow down, enjoy one another, and remember what they bring to the group.
I lead presentations, workshops, and retreats that combine practical workplace guidance with reflection, playful activities, and simple ways to care for ourselves. People have room to share, discover something new about themselves, and see their colleagues in a different light.
We might explore what makes work meaningful, how different personalities work together, or ways to find some calm during a demanding day. I’ll work with you to create an experience that fits your people and the time you have together.
I’ve brought Career Zen to universities, businesses, healthcare teams, conferences, yoga studios, and retreat centers for more than 20 years. My favorite part is watching people open up, connect, and recognize what they have to offer.
Find an experience for your group
| Experience | What we’ll do | Good for | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zen at Work | Take a breather together and learn simple ways to ease stress during the workday. We’ll practice breathing, gentle movement, and mindfulness that people can use at work and at home. | Staff meetings, employee resource groups, and wellness events | 30–60 minutes |
| Panda Poker | Get to know one another through a playful card activity about interests, values, and meaningful work. Discover what you have in common and the different gifts each person brings. | Team gatherings, retreats, and staff development days | 60–90 minutes |
| Hero’s Journey | Reflect on the experiences that have shaped you and share the parts of your story you feel comfortable sharing. Learn more about the people beside you and what matters to your group. | Team retreats, leadership groups, and time to reconnect | 2–3 hours |
| A Retreat Designed for Your Team | We’ll create an experience around what your people need. Combine conversation, hands-on activities, mindfulness, and optional yoga, with resources to keep exploring afterward. | Groups wanting more time for reflection, connection, and wellbeing | Half day, full day, or multiple days |
Let’s plan something for your people.

“Dr. Lynn Chang is a dream come true! I had heard so many wonderful things about Dr. Chang, so we decided to hire her to lead our retreat process. She was amazing!! Everyone got so much out of it, both individually and as a team. It brought us all closer and helped everyone feel as though they had something unique to offer the company and one another. I am still in awe of what she was able to do for us.
We want to retreat with Dr. Chang every year. Each of us now experiences our jobs as more rewarding, fun, and profitable as a result of her work with us. As a side note, I love how giving she is to so many communities. She is social justice oriented and walks the walk. Do not hesitate! Hire her today!!”

You have an amazing Zoom presence and I know students learned a ton from your talk. I knew you would be awesome, but it really did exceed my expectations.”
