Forest Beat: woodland workshops and team time
Forest Beat brings colleagues together for a day of group workshops in nature. The sample programme combines breathing, yoga and drumming with time in a woodland setting. You can also discuss a longer visit with dining and overnight options.
How does Forest Beat work?
First, choose the focus for your group. Then work with Event Square to shape the activities and schedule. The team follows Leave No Trace principles throughout the programme.
The usual format is a full day. However, you can discuss a multi-day programme with a wider mix of workshops. Confirm the final timetable, participation requirements and optional extras before booking.
Activities to consider
- Forest bathing with sensory and mindful activities
- Yoga and mindfulness in a natural setting
- Wood carving crafts
- Guided hikes in the Wicklow hills
- Natural Living Skills, focusing on fundamental outdoor skills
