to your ideas/projects to help guide nature connection through design.

be held 10am-12pm, the afternoon group will be held 2pm-4pm.
Outside of the nature connection sessions and design 1-2-1s your time is free to rest and reflect, enjoy nature

What to bring:
Clothing:
Waterproof clothes + walking shoes – although your nature connection experiences are on site and
you don’t cover large distances outdoors; comfortable/waterproof shoes + waterproofs
are highly recommended in case it rains.
Journal/Sketch book
Ideal for recording details of your experiences that will fuel your inspiration.
Making notes or sketching details offers a more meaningful and memorable way to record your connections.
Laptop/Tablet/Phone
Although our aim is to disconnect you from your devices as much as possible during the retreat,
you may wish to use a device for the vision + mood boarding workshop. It is not essential to the session
to use a device, but it may be your preference to use one to prepare ideas to discuss for the 1-2-1 sessions.
