week thirty eight | yarra valley, victoria

Part of Oaktree life is the retreats one attends. It sometimes feels like we need to retreat from all the retreats.  But seriously though, most retreats are a lot of fun because Oaktree is very focused on team culture. There’s no better way to get a group of people to work well together and to love each other then to put them in a house off the grid for three days!

For this retreat we were lucky enough to stay in one of the most perfect houses on earth. The house is nestled in the Yarra Valley. It was off the grid but still – so gorgeous, sounded by a river, lots of beautiful trees and a veggie patch that would make Jamie Oliver drool. While it was still work, it was nice to get away from all the stress, to have time to sit by the fire and revisit why we do what we do and to get closer to those we work so closely with.

We went on early morning walks, we paddled in the river, we ate great food and we worked hard. I kind of wish every day in the office could be so lovely.
