Programme overview

Mindful hike, 1 hour: Focus on being mindful in nature to promote problem solving and creative thinking. Kylie will give your team all the tools they need to engage all their senses, and tap into the unconscious wilderness of our brain. This is a powerful way to destress, reconnect and promote divergent thinking.

Ancient forest highlights tour, 30 minutes: As we make our way into the bush boardroom, hear from Sanctuary Mountain staff about the birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees and what makes the conservation project at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari truly special. 

Morning or afternoon tea: Light refreshments and hot drinks served on the mountain in the Southern enclosure, with the birds for company.

Exclusive use of the Bush Boardroom, 2 hours: Exclusive use of our immersive bush boardroom at  for your team's strategy or board meeting, creative session, or facilitated session - the possibilities are endless! Enjoy the sounds of the forest, soak in the ambience and bird sound for a work 'meeting' like you've never experienced before.

Programme runs from 8.30am or 9am.

incredible conservation work of the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust.

Talk to us about options for including a lunch at the bush boardroom. We can offer a fully-catered buffet style lunch or a more simple light lunch. There is no vehicle access to the bush boardroom, so everything is manually carried in by hand!

More optional inclusions

  • Do you have your own external facilitator? Why not suggest a session with them at our bush boardroom following a 'walking primer' - a little more exciting than a four-walled room and whiteboard!
  • Team building with a twist! Build in a fun activity in the middle of your kayak tour in the Pokaiwhenua canyon!
  • Give back to conservation: Is your team feeling fit and strong? Get hands on with giving back to conservation by lending a hand to the rangers by clearing monitoring tracks.
