Shift

Two or Three Day Company Offsite Retreat in the Wild

​Bring your team together to explore where you're headed and make a lasting shift
With two or three days in Nature away from the office, screens and deadlines, your team can come together, form genuine connections and work together with a new sense of focus and belonging.
LET'S CHAT

What do you want to Shift?

This immersive company offsite brings teams together to surface what truly matters, and to see a lasting shift going forwards. Through emergent conversations, creative activities, and reflective time outdoors, you can explore values, connections, and collective potential in a way that leads to a renewed sense of energy, cohesion, and shared purpose. We have accommodation options to suit any budget ranging from back-to-basics camping, to glamping in yurts, or a more luxurious corporate retreat in a country house.

Nature brings out the best in people

Imagine whole days with no urgent requests, none of the usual day-to-day distractions. This is where the good stuff happens.

Time in Nature helps you connect more strongly and see things differently so that you can make the most of your purpose and the positive difference you want to make in the world.

We tailor the programme to the questions you have, the answers you need and the outcomes you want. We do this in an emergent way,
so that your team leaves feeling connected, engaged and enthused.
Shift your focus and empower your team for the ride.

What happens

Each offsite retreat is different but follows the same basic shape - integrating business objectives, immersive activities and inspiration from Nature to create a company offsite programme that catalyses connection, insight and commitment to action. Click on the tabs so see an example of what happens on our offsite programme:
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Phase 1
Phase 1:
The first phase focuses on connecting with each other, with the location and with your context so that you can get the most out of the programme. Starting around the campfire, we design and facilitate activities so that you’ll:
  • 1) Shake off the busyness of your usual day-to-day and engage with your 'why' of being here
  • 2) Start to connect with each other in a deeper way, and
  • 3) Co-create an atmosphere of openness and curiosity, where you can express yourselves freely and have new conversations
Phase 2
Phase 2:
The second phase focuses on reflecting on your team’s context, challenges and direction. After breakfast, we facilitate fun and experiential workshops and activities - in the surrounding Nature and around the campfire - and help you explore where you're heading, what's working for you now and what's holding you back. You'll:
  • 1) Reach clarity and shared understanding around your specific challenge(s) and context
  • 2) Get under the surface of team dynamics and ways of working to resolve things that are blocking you
  • 3) Shift hearts and minds, share moments of joy and have new conversations about your future direction
Phase 3
Phase 3:
In the third phase we focus on moving towards action so that you can carry a clear sense of cohesion with you as you move back to your day-to-day. You'll:
  • 1) Have the opportunity to circle back and go deeper into insights from phases one and two
  • 2) Collaboratively design solutions to team challenges
  • 3) Co-create a set of shared intentions and tangible next steps

​With great food, space for personal time and enjoyable campfire activities in the evenings, Shift gives plenty of scope to build deeper relationships, reset your team and bring new ideas forward into an action plan.

Being outside four walls really helped us, as an already close group, to connect in a deeper way. Being in nature gave us permission to be more open and honest, with ourselves and with what we were hearing.

I was actually going to drop out due to having too much on. But once I got into the woods, it took 10 mins for me to realise a lot of it was just noise. In fact, once I got back into the office, I saw the things I was worried about in a different, more positive light.
