Honour and belief

By 5th Place | April 13, 2023 |

A different Easter weekend, connecting, reflecting and swapping stories that matter made for a full and warm time and an opportunity to wonder about what a difference believing in ourselves would make.

Are we there yet?

By 5th Place | December 8, 2022 |

A quieter house, a variety of offerings and many people to reconnect with resulted in a week of mingling, engaging and getting out. An opportunity to fill up the togetherness tank before the annual diaspora to summer holiday spaces.

Resistance and relevance

By 5th Place | August 25, 2022 |

More cold weather leads to gripes and complaints when resistance to what is takes over. Catching ourselves on the playground of negativity we turned to a more positive light and were reminded of the relevance of building emotional fitness.

Dealing with disappointment

By 5th Place | August 18, 2022 |

Warmer weather brought a bit of hope but disappointment stamped out the excitement and anticipation of long awaited trips and great games. While being tested to accept what is, we focused on some insights and motivation for building emotional fitness in the youth.

What is a world without women?

By 5th Place | August 11, 2022 |

A week where the bug baton was passed to Matthew, while the focus on women led us to ask the question: What needs to shift to make real change? A warm welcome for our retreat site visit and a splendid rugby performance rounded out a full and varied week.

Consistency, conversations and connecting

By 5th Place | July 14, 2022 |

Winning is great but sometimes losing is better. Consistently getting up, showing up, doing it over better, together wins games, contracts and leads to success in the long run. Having meaningful conversations, on the other hand, connects us and helps build successful relationships.

Challenges, champions and chats

By 5th Place | July 7, 2022 |

Navigating a challenging week of power outages, cold weather, and a generally depressed mood with a sliver of light banter about sport, a dive into forgiveness and a reminder that there is always a solution.
