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
