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 client event:
A recent client sought a tailor-made closing session for their three-day annual conference at a hotel in Surrey. They wanted to conclude the event on a high note, reinforcing the themes of connection, synchronicity, and healing that ran throughout the conference. They envisioned the session to be run in the woodlands surrounding the hotel, and asked for ideas.
A two-part experience that combined nature immersion and laughter-based wellness....
Part 1: Nature Connection & Exploration
A guided woodland walk fostered connection between the participants and the natural environment. This interactive journey celebrated native trees, wild plants, and their historical uses by humans, including their medicinal properties. Participants engaged all their senses, and the walk culminated in a tasting session where the group tried a variety of seasonal herbal preparations.
Part 2: Laughter Wellness
Following the nature walk, we transitioned into a laughter-based wellness session. Laughter has the incredible ability to connect participants with their inner child and each other, ignite their energy, and shift focus from mind to body. Although originally planned for a woodland clearing, we adapted to the weather on the day and shifted the laughter yoga indoors.
The combination of nature immersion and laughter-based wellness delivered exceptional results. Participants left feeling not only inspired but also deeply connected with each other and the environment around them. Laughter provided a memorable experience that broke down barriers and encouraged genuine connections.
If you're drawn to this approach and believe it could benefit your team's health, wellbeing, and cohesion, I'd love to discuss how I can tailor a similar experience for you.
