Nature Based Wellbeing Programmes for Workplace Teams
Bring your team into Nature: a great meeting room for the best kind of meetings!
Why Nature Based Intervention Programmes?
The pressures of remote working, furlough and the new "normal" are proving challenging for many employees. On a Nature Based Intervention Programme, we harness the power of Nature to:
-
reconnect teams
-
improve mental health
-
boost morale
-
improve communication
-
have fun!
What's Involved?
A Digital Detox: start the day by handing in your phones!
Forest Bathing: a slow and silent walk experiencing nature through the senses. It's all about coming out of the head and turning down the volume of the cacophony of inner thoughts!
Woodland Lunch: what could be better than bringing the team together for lunch around a fire?
Afternoon/Evening: time can be spent having team meetings and/or there are a range of guided outdoor group activities to choose from including:
-
Wild Swimming
-
Sweat Lodge
-
Foraging
-
Moorland Hiking
-
Mindful Walks in Nature
-
Medicinal Herb Walk
-
Walking a Labyrinth
-
Fire Temple storytelling/ drumming
