Let's start with fresh air and no walls
At a time when the world is becoming increasingly digital, global and fast paced and uncertain, it is very easy for people to feel disconnected, overwhelmed and frantic as they struggle to meet growing expectations.
Join Rachel from Sparkhouse for this special half OR full day workshop to help individuals and teams to understand how they can take back control, to manage stress and prioritise self-care. Using the fundamentals of mindfulness to raise personal awareness and offering tools and techniques to enhance their productivity and resilience, Rachel focusses on both practical elements and the core human elements to self-empower individuals and build cohesive teams.
Use our unique bush boardroom to increase mental clarity. We take a stripped back and unplugged approach to these days - minimal distractions for the best results. A morning mindful hike will prepare the team for the session and delicious local food catered throughout the day.
Duration: Full day 7 hours, half day 4 hours
Group size: 6 - 16 people

Testimonial - IT Partners
Our Leadership team had the privilege of joining Nature & Nosh and Rachel Matheson for the Building Resilience Workshop, leaving each of us with many empowering tools to use in our personal and professional lives.
With endless wellbeing frameworks and resources available out there, the power of this experience came from removing ourselves from the noise, focusing on the facilitated activities and conversations. These moments enabled us to really unpack why we respond the way we do and consider ways we can act more mindfully as a professional, a manager, a mum / dad, a wife / husband, you name it.
Having taken the time to understand our culture / team a bit more personally, the focus for the programme captured everything we had hoped to achieve (and more)! Thank you, and we look forward to more of our team joining you in the future.
