When multi-generational families struggle to design retreats that honor different solitude needs

My adult children and I are trying to plan a family retreat where we can all have the solitude we need while still being together, but everyone has such different ideas about boundaries and alone time that we can't even agree on basic logistics. One kid needs complete isolation, another wants optional togetherness, and I just want to be available without being overwhelming, and we're all tiptoeing around each other's needs instead of just talking about them.
