Comments from participants of Kamakura Workcation Week
Coming to WORKATION WEEK has given me a clearer understanding of what is important to me. Having my colleagues affirm that fact has given me even more confidence.
When you want to change your environment, it's because your heart is yearning for something. I received a lot of energy from Kamakura, a place overflowing with nutrients to pour into the empty spaces of my heart !
The mindfulness sessions helped us to heal from a deep level, the team building sessions helped us to open up and improve our wellbeing, and the networking session provided an even better ending.
