Corporate Retreats
SESSION 1: HEALTHY HABITS + GOAL SETTING
We emphasize healthy habits and goal setting for better well-being and productivity at work. We look at how things like nutrition, sleep, hydration, sunshine, alcohol, mindset, movement, and stress affect gut health and brain function. The session shares relatable facts to show the link between feeling good and handling work well. We also spend time setting wellness goals using the SMART technique.
SESSION 2: STRESS MANAGEMENT METHOD
1. Identify Stress Triggers: Encourage employees to identify their individual stress triggers, whether it's tight deadlines, heavy workloads, or interpersonal conflicts.
2. Promote Work-Life Balance: Encourage employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance by setting clear boundaries between work and personal time. This could involve flexible working hours, remote work options, or promoting the use of vacation days.
3. Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Introduce mindfulness and relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga classes to help employees manage stress and stay focused.
4. Encourage Open Communication: Foster an open and supportive environment where employees feel comfortable discussing their stressors with their managers or colleagues. This can help in finding solutions and offering support.
5. Provide Resources and Training: Offer resources such as workshops, training sessions, or access to mental health professionals to educate employees on stress management techniques and provide them with the necessary tools to cope with workplace stress.
6. Promote Physical Activity: Encourage regular physical activity by providing gym facilities, organizing group workouts, or promoting walking meetings to help employees relieve stress and boost their overall well-being.

SESSION 3: MINDFULNESS IN MEETING
Meetings can feel like a waste of time! This class will cover 14 practical steps to boost mindfulness in meetings. Mindfulness means being aware of your thoughts and actions to approach tasks calmly and objectively. Participants will choose their top three steps, take part in small group discussions, and create plans to incorporate these mindfulness practices into their work.
SESSION 4: STRETCH AND MICRO-MINDFULNESS BREAK
This mid-meeting stretch and micro-mindfulness technique have been shown to quickly shift your mindset, stimulate brain function, alleviate stress, and relieve back pain from sitting. These practices and simple movements are designed to enhance focus and relieve physical tension caused by prolonged sitting. They can be performed in regular business casual attire, either while seated or standing. This approach includes deep breathing, sensory awareness, mindful eating (ideal before a break), body scans, gratitude pauses, physical movements for the neck and shoulders, and most importantly, laughter and connection.
SESSION 5: SUNRISE or SUNSET YOGA
Begin (or end) your day with a spectacular mountain sunrise and gentle stretching perfect for post travel. We will release tension in the neck and shoulders, stretch the hips and back, and learn a simple, breathing technique for energy and focus (or relaxation). This all-levels yoga class is a perfect way to set the tone for a day of learning and sitting. Wake up with the sun to move, breathe, and enjoy the fresh air. No experience necessary.
