We would like to thank you once again for organizing the weekend retreat in Medličky as part of the Against Burnout project. The Medličky Guesthouse provided us with excellent facilities, including accommodation, a restaurant, wellness services, and yoga classes.
Everything took place in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and we established new connections with colleagues from Břeclav and Rapotice.
A big thank you also goes to the instructors for their professional and empathetic approach. We look forward to the next planned events of the project."
