Although the patterns in here weren't bad, they probably just weren't my style. As for the retreat ideas...not so inspiring. Most are variations of those cheesy shower games we are all forced into at bridal and baby showers. And I was looking for cool ways to divy up group projects--there wasn't much to offer there either.
