Into the Woods

A Nature-Connected Leadership Retreat

Two nights · One immersive day · From £1,850 per participant

Some conversations need a different kind of room.

And sometimes the best meeting room has no walls.

Into the Woods is a two-night nature-connected retreat for leadership teams and corporate groups who need space to step outside everyday pressures, reconnect with each other and think clearly about what matters next.

It combines genuine nature connection with professional facilitation, reflective practice and carefully designed conversations.

This is not a packed corporate away day transported outdoors.

It is deliberately spacious.

The intention is to create the conditions in which different conversations — and sometimes different possibilities — can emerge.

The experience

Day 1 — Arrive

Travel to your chosen retreat destination during the day. The group comes together in the evening for dinner, an informal welcome and the beginning of the transition away from everyday organisational life.  Nothing needs to be solved tonight. The first task is simply to arrive.

Day 2 — Connect, explore and think

After breakfast, we move into the landscape.

The day combines guided nature connection, walking, silence, conversation, individual reflection and facilitated group work. The programme is tailored to the group, but typically moves through three interconnected spaces:

Connection with place

  • Slow down.
  • Notice.
  • Experience the landscape through more than intellectual observation.
  • Guided nature-connection practices help participants become more present with themselves, each other, and their surroundings.

Connection with one another

Away from organisational routines and familiar meeting structures, different conversations become possible.

  • Pairs, small groups and facilitated conversations allow people to listen differently and explore what may otherwise remain beneath the surface.

Connection with purpose

The experience gradually turns towards the question that matters to the team.

  • The objective is not simply to generate ideas. It is to help the group develop shared understanding and identify meaningful intentions for what happens next.

The day concludes with dinner and time together.

Day 3 — Return

After breakfast, participants depart — or choose to extend their stay privately at the destination.

The physical retreat ends. The important question becomes what returns with you.

Who should join?

Designed for leadership teams, boards and organisations navigating change, strategic decisions or the need to reconnect. Ideal for small groups of 6–20 participants, where meaningful dialogue, reflection and shared understanding matter more than scale. 

Your facilitators

The programme combines professional facilitation, nature connection, reflective practices and leadership development, drawing respectfully on traditions such as Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) to create meaningful experiences of reflection and collaboration.


Investment

From £1,850 per participant

Minimum group: 6 participants

The indicative package is designed around:

  • two nights' accommodation;
  • breakfast and agreed group meals;
  • retreat programme design;
  • professional facilitation;
  • guided nature-connection practice;
  • one full immersive programme day;
  • coordination with the selected venue.

Final pricing depends on the chosen venue, season, room category, food and programme requirements.

Flights and transport to the destination are not included unless explicitly quoted.

Begin with the question, not the destination

We do not start by asking:

  • Where would you like to go?

We start by asking:

  • What does your team need space to think about?

From there, we design the conversation, the experience and the place around it.

Leave the meeting room. Change the conversation. Return seeing something differently.
