Retreats Hosted With Sydney Banks
It was an honor and privilege for us to host many retreats over the years with Sydney Banks. Here is a list of those retreats.
We welcome suggestions for future retreat venues.
1994 Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
This retreat was attended by leaders from the hospitality industry and the petroleum sales industry. The participants especially enjoyed the fireside chats and visits to the beautiful city of Victoria.
1996 Hopetown, Bahamas
The spectacular setting of Little Abaco in the Bahamas made for a very casual but fulfilling week for all who attended. One couple were so moved by one of Syd’s talks that they had a deep insight about a struggling family member back home. When they returned to their family, they had been so impacted by their exerience at the retreat, that the situation turned around completely for the better.
1997 Aspen, Colorado
This retreat was attended by executives and Three Principles providers from all parts of the United States and Canada.
1998 Torquay, England
The charming town of Torquay, on the “English Riviera”, in May, provided a wonderful setting for a group of leaders from several countries, including a manager from an oil company in the Middle East.
1998 Negril, Jamaica
The warmth of the Jamaican people, especially the staff at our hotel, made this retreat very special. One of the local restaurant servers was so moved by Syd’s demeanor when he had lunch there, that she later brought some of her friends around to our hotel to find out what was going on!
1999 Oak Bay, Florida
Retreat for private company.
2000 Torquay, England
This retreat had more participants than our 1998 retreat. Everyone enjoyed the locale, including trips to Cockington Village nearby.

2003 Salt Spring Island
With many of the participants from not-for-profits in Tampa, it was very enjoyable for us to introduce people to Salt Spring Island.
2004 Salt Spring Island
We enjoyed the setting at the resort on the North End of Salt Spring so much in 2003, we decided to come back again with some of the first group, as well as some new participants.
