Foraging, nature connection & laughter yoga as team activities
Why choose this experience with Joyful Outdoors
In our fast-paced, screen-filled world, many of us have become disconnected from the natural world, and from each other. This experience is designed to gently reawaken that connection. Time spent outdoors, learning new skills, and sharing laughter helps people feel more present, grounded, connected and recharged.
Clients say...
“Pure joy, delight and energetic release! Elspeth has such range and depth and breadth of skills and experience and to cap it all is a genuinely lovely, warm, open and heartfelt person to work with. I would thoroughly recommend her.”
Biba Binotti - Global Warriors
“Elspeth ran a Laughter workshop for our NHS Trust and it was absolutely brilliant. Her enthusiasm and laughter is contagious and all the staff attending left with a big smile on their face and a spring in their step. Laughter yoga is the ultimate feel good session and Elspeth was just fabulous.”
Hollie Montague, Royal Surrey NHS Trust
"I didn't think about work once... I was so absorbed that it felt like I'd had a holiday!”

The experience
Starting with a foraging and nature connection walk, we’ll explore the edible plants & native trees found at your chosen location. You'll learn to identify them and discover their traditional uses. This walk is designed to be interactive, sensory, and accessible for everyone, with plenty of opportunities to engage, ask questions, and get hands-on.
After the walk, we'll come together for an uplifting laughter yoga session - a unique wellness practice proven to reduce stress, boost mood, and bring people together in a joyful, lighthearted way. Laughter yoga is accessible to everyone and is a brilliant way to break down barriers, ignite energy, and leave the group feeling connected and uplifted.
You can choose either of these activities, or both, depending on your needs and the time available.
