Looking for team bonding solutions for your team to promote positive mental health and wellbeing? Take a look at these wellness workshops and talks that are perfect for team building!
Ease into the tranquility of a tea appreciation session - from understanding the origins of your tea leaves or flowers, to brewing and savouring the delicate flavours.
If you walk in the forest and you don't slow down to appreciate the surroundings, are you really present in the forest? Take a guided walk through a nature area where you'll learn the basics of forest bathing - finding calm in nature, observing the natural environment around you and finding relaxation as you de-stress. It's potentially transformative and you might find yourself gravitating to nature in your own time after this session.
Have you experienced frustration and angst when you just can't seem to solve a puzzle? Learn to alter your approach to puzzle-solving with a meditative mindset. While this talk is literally about solving puzzles like the rubik's cube and tangram, who knows if you might find a way to transpose this knowledge into your real problems in life and at the workplace.
Mindfulness is perhaps the most essential skill or technique we should hone today. There is this oft-quoted line from Steve Jobs who said "If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is." This session will help you learn to promote calmness and manage anxiety, with mindfulness techniques. Mmm...mindfulness - it's music to our ears.
Journaling is an often under-appreciated yet powerful tool that helps you process and reflect. Do it well, and it is almost empowering. Learn the benefits of journaling.
You might think of coffee as an energy-boosting, restless endeavour. Yet, many coffee folks can attest that indulging in a hand brewing routine can have meditative effects. Learn how to brew your own filter coffee, and you might just find an intensified desire for slow living.
Resting can have beneficial effects on the body. That's why some companies have tried sleeping pods and booths at the workplace. Learn the effect of rest on your body, and how we can adopt good resting habits in our lives.
