WCF Questionnaire - Retreats

A questionnaire to help us plan future retreat programmes to suit you.

Please respond promptly, as we will be analysing the results about two weeks after you receive this newsletter.

It is two years since we restarted residential retreats following the ending of pandemic restrictions, and we are noticing that retreat booking numbers are lower than pre-pandemic. Clearly one factor may be cost-of-living pressures, and to try to help with that we have increased the number of supported places offered on each retreat. Also, we have frozen retreat fees for 2024 and will increase them by less than inflation for 2025.

We are keen to understand the various other factors that affect people attending retreats, and so we would appreciate it enormously if you could answer these few questions. Hopefully this will help us to plan a retreat program which allows as many people as possible to participate, if they so wish.

Follow this link to access the online version of the questionnaire:

If you would prefer to complete a paper version please email Sian Thomas at sianyorkchan@gmail.com to request that.
