Forest Beat

From: 6,000 (p/p or per event ex-vat)

The Forest Beat program reconnects your team through a number of Beat Based collective experiences. We first slow the heartbeat with an open air workshop that teaches your team to use breathing, focus and gradual exposure to cold using ice baths or the Avonmore river to gain the benefits of the deep breathing techniques. The afternoon Yoga masterclass will allow your team to unwind further whilst discovering  fresh ways to improve their health, focus and performance. Hearts that drum together beat together  Drumming in a group stimulates behavioral and physiological synchronization, which contributes to the formation of social bonds through a rich social interaction around a open bonfire in the serene forests of Wicklow.

They key focus is reconnection, rejuvenation, relaxation, and reflection. This Mindfulness & Wellness themed experience takes place amongst 60 acres of forest in Rathdrum in a beautiful and natural wild environment. The river Avonmore meanders through the site and there is a gravel beach for everyone to enjoy. Rediscover you Team Beat.
