What did we provide?

We split the group into nine teams and tasked them, in the morning, to create a Vision Board of how to deal with one aspect of wellbeing - For example, one team did "Working under Pressure", another "Dealing with others".

​

During the day they did various workshops, including "Outcome Thinking", "Working with Stress".  And activities - A mindful walk, Chair yoga, Rhythmic breathing, an Art workshop.

​

At the end of the day, they presented and took away their Vision Boards.

What was the Result?

They learnt a number of new skills including Outcome Thinking - 

​

"Change a 'problem' in to an 'Output'. What do you want to happen from the situation?

We're here > I want to get here > deal with challenges to get the outcome".

​

They enjoyed time to meet up and network.  They liked the Sound Bath, Mindful Walk and Foraging Exercise.  

​

They very much noted the benefit of stepping away for the usual work environment.

​

​

Below is the list of areas they worked on:

·Work Life Balance

We provided a number of activities related to Wellbeing as well as clay shooting, tractor driving, art workshops and more.

​

In terms of catering, we offered wholesome, home-made cuisine to fit a range of dietary requirements for breakfast lunch and dinner.

​

It was a high energy event, with many people really enjoying getting together in such a unique setting.  The MD discovered a new emotion (the morning after the night before) - "Gravelly!"

What was the Result?

They had an amazing couple of days, starting with a meeting in "The Yurtery" followed by some icebreaker activities and then out to the shooting ground for some clay shooting.

​

After which, they had lunch in The Long Barn and then an afternoon of "Creativity, Movement and Accuracy Skills".  - Yoga, Art, Axe Throwing, Air Rifles, Catapults.

​

Late afternoon, The Long Barn was vibrating to the gongs of a highly relaxing Sound Bath.  The thatch roof, making for a very unique effect as the straw absorbed some of the harshness out of the sound.

​

Complete Coherence are advocates of pausing and taking time out for Rhythmic Breathing to harmonise mind and body.  Plenty of time was taken to allow for this.

​

After a night of fun and games at The Yurt Village, breakfast was self-served and then three 45 minute Walks were undertaken.  A Nature Walk, A Cognitive Walk and a Mindful Walk.

​

A barbecue lunch was then had before closing words and a moving departure as people said their goodbyes.
