Nature-based corporate workshops in the Surrey Hills
Are you looking for something distinctive to boost your employees' health and wellbeing, or to enhance your team-building activities?
Here's a case study of a recent corporate team-building outdoor event:
Foraging and laughter yoga as team activities
The need:
A client approached me to create a bespoke closing session for their three-day annual conference in Surrey. They wanted something uplifting and memorable to tie together the themes of connection, synchronicity, and healing, ideally using the woodland setting around the hotel.
The session:
Part 1: Nature Connection Walk
We began with a guided walk through the surrounding woodland, exploring native trees and wild plants, their historical and medicinal uses, and their connection to human life. It was a sensory experience, ending with a tasting of seasonal herbal preparations that brought the natural world to life.
Part 2: Laughter Wellness
After the walk, we shifted focus to laughter-based wellness. Through guided exercises, participants connected with their playful side and each other, releasing stress and boosting energy. While originally planned for the woodland, we adapted to the weather and held the session indoors.
The result:
The combination of nature immersion and laughter created a powerful experience. Participants left feeling recharged, connected, and inspired, with laughter breaking down barriers and leaving a lasting impression.
If this sounds like the right fit for your team, let’s chat about creating a tailored experience that supports health, wellbeing, and connection.
