Team Retreats and Workshops that feel like Recess

Think of us as your culture consultant. Here are some of the ways we can work together.

  • Remote Recess

    Midweek pick-me-up. Play a mix of games for a healthy dose of competition, or take things slow with a vulnerability exercise.

  • Meetings & Summits

    Gather the team for a full day of fun, strategic sessions, or a mixture of both. We’ll plan the right mix of games, team-bonding, and brainstorming sessions.

  • Multi-Day Offsites

    The winning formula for retreats. After bonding through fun activities and collaborative work sessions, your team will be transformed.

  • Culture Consult

    Not sure what your team needs? Send an email to julia@therecesslab.co! We'll talk through what's going on and brainstorm some ways to strengthen your team culture.

A new way for teams to connect

We know the feeling that comes from a poorly planned Zoom happy hour or a stale corporate conference. Interactions feel awkward, fleeting, and forced; we tune out, instead of truly connecting. Once it’s over, we feel drained, not energized.

At The Recess Lab, we have a track record of creating engaging, inclusive gatherings with an impact that lasts far beyond the intentional time spent together. Check out some highlights from our past events below.

Past Projects

  • "Julia - Wow. We are still coming down from the high of the INCREDIBLE event that you brought to life over the course of this week. Camp Tia was such a big investment and so important to us, to our culture -- and you handled it, our Tia-ans, and our team with such grace."

    Carolyn Witte, Tia CEO

  • "From the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU for the amount of energy, time, and thoughtfulness you put into making HeadAway such a spectacular event. For anyone considering working with Julia, she has operational excellence, amazing problem solving, communication & listening skills. She gave us the ability to tailor projects to our needs. Plus she is fun to work with, caring, and kind."

    Nikki Civit, Headway

  • "I have not felt this energized by work in such a long time. We had so much fun and I feel so connected and inspired by the team."

    Kiki Freedman, HeyJane CEO

  • "Julia’s ability to work as both a team player and autonomous force is one of her strongest assets. She was willing to take charge on the nitty gritty details and spreadsheets, organize vendors and budgets, create agendas and lead meetings, and most importantly she took the time to really understand our wants and needs as a company. Honestly I would forget she was not a full time Tia employee half the time because of the way she integrated herself into the entire experience. She was a true joy to collaborate with."

    Nikki Kusalo, Tia
