Mindfulness at Work - Creative Corporate Team events
Create connections &
Boost Productivity
with every stitch
Want to reduce stress, burnout & boost morale within your teams?
Looking for practical sustainable events to meet your goals?
Our creative corporate team events can help you achieve both
Your team events can be more than drinks at the pub or a team sporting activity. Though these are fun, you know it excludes some of your staff and doesn’t always bring about team cohesion.
Instead, imagine this. All your staff sitting around together, chatting, getting to know each other while doing something that is relaxing and fun. It doesn’t have the formality of a business meeting or forced networking.
Our team events are centred around personal wellbeing, opportunities to chat while sharing practical sustainable skills. Its inclusive as everyone, irrespective of abilities or age can learn and help them explore their creativity & self expression.
