(And why taking your team into the wild can help you figure it out)

Most organisations aren’t doing enough on climate change. And the chances are, even if you’re already working hard to reduce your organisation’s environmental impact, there’s still more you could do. 

​Even as we see the immediate effects of climate change growing all around us (in the form of wildfires, unseasonal weather and flooding) the coronavirus pandemic served as an unwelcome distraction.

​The reality, though, is that the earth is warming and that climate change can no longer be avoided. What we can do is to avoid its most devastating effects: but that will take significant, decisive and rapid action to achieve. 

At School of the Wild, we’re driven by one idea: nature brings out the best in people.

We believe that reconnecting with the natural world is the one of the best ways to reconnect with each other, freeing your collective potential and growing together. It’s where many voices become one mind.

The latest research backs this up, showing that spending time in nature:

• is a great leveller making it easier to relax, be human and connect with each other,
• is a remedy for distracted thinking
• dramatically increases creative problem solving - by as much as 50%, 
• boosts wellbeing, lowers stress levels, and really does clear your head

Time in nature boosts your team performance by helping individuals grow and develop, and build meaningful bonds with each other. We know this works. 

So we run offsites and team building programmes with a difference: we support you to solve concrete problems and realise your team’s potential in these challenging times, through:

1. Learning: inspired by nature’s life-affirming, interconnected ecosystem,
2. Listening: empowering and supporting the creative hive mind of any team, 
3. Presence: connecting to yourself & each other, so that you can co-create real change.
