Leadership retreat

Have you had enough of training days that leave you exhausted instead of inspired?

With work based stress on the increase, it is more vital now than ever that we take some time for ourselves.  Working in nature has been found to raise productivity, increase a sense of wellbeing, reduce fatigue and techno-stress.  Aimed  at small businesses or individual departments, our range of outdoor events allow your staff the space they need to be the most efficient team they can be.  We can offer a range of activities to remind your delegates of the restorative benefits of nature.

You decide the needs of your team for a half day retreat and we will help you to develop a programme to satisfy your requirements.

‘Throughout our annual adventure we were introduced to a way of seeing the world that few fully understand.  Helen the Shepherd of the wood brought with her natural friends, from thrushes to endangered sparrows and in our days together drew out the badgers and foxes from their winter slumber and made friends with early spring flowers and plants.  With amazement that all her friends were waking up so early, she met each one with a deep sense of love and protection and above all true connection to the world around her.  As always it made a lasting imprint on my life’  Martin, co-founder of Healo

‘Course content diverse, stimulating and full of ideas’ Anna, behaviour management team
