What did you think about the length of the retreat? Would people have liked to stay longer? We’re planning to organize a retreat from Thursday to Sunday in The Netherlands in between Christmas and New Year’s.
I don’t know, we simply didn’t talk about that at all. My guess is that 4 days is not too long. EA globals sometimes last 3 days, if you include the social on Friday. I believe that a recent group organisers’ retreat lasted an entire week. An AI camp lasted 10 days. These latter two events are not quite the same, but I guess you could ask Remmelt Ellen whether they felt too long, I believe he was present in both of them. Hmm, the fact that your event is during winter could matter a bit though, because going outside is usually a refreshing change of atmoshpere during such things.
By the way, this was not a retreat, we did it in an office in London and people slept elsewhere.

Alright thanks! :) Remmelt is also organizing this retreat, so we have that info!
