The word "planned" qualifies both seminars and retreats.
A retreat is an isolated place, cut off from the outside world, both physically and figuratively. So the employees go off together on a training programme to a place where they will not be interrupted.

Retreat
A day or weekend event where the board or staff go to a location outside of the office or board room and focus on a specific issue or a specific group of issues; examples include orientation, strategic planning, or self-assessment.

It does not have to be in an isolated location; often held in a hotel near the office.

Never? I have been to such events myself, both as a teacher and as a city council consultant. It is common usage in California. Check it out.//The fact that you were unable to find any online in a quick search does not negate my real-world experience.

It would be an experience that .....became relevant to them in thier lives once they returned.
When the ultimate goal was to take these new behaviors ......, and new ways of working togeteher back to the business.
Dear Sue Levy and Ruth Henderson:
the following sentences found in the text may be helpful:
t would be held in a place sure to inspire and certain to get the top team out of its comfort zone. It would present physical challenges while simultaneously taking people on an emotional journey with their colleagues- a chance to get to know each other and develop a level of trust and openness heretofore unthinkable; a chance to be honest.
