Workshops + Immersions + Team Days
Over the last fifteen or more years, Giles has crafted a way of taking teams into nature to enable a psychologically safe yet developmentally challenging environment for advanced leadership and team development. Giles hosts his future-fit leadership work at Springwood Farm amid 60 acres of secluded ancient woodland in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty yet close to international airports and rail networks. Whether its exec teams, strategy sessions, team bonding or all-staff events, Giles at Springwood provides a profoundly rich immersive learning environment for authentic sharing, deep conversations, memorable moments and developmental progression in a matter of a few hours.

Regenerative Leadership Immersions
Immersion with Galahad Clark, CEO of Vivobarefoot
Two Proven Advantages...
1. Address Systemic Challenges: Well-facilitated immersions help us identify root problems and systemic solutions, to reach beyond the mechanistic reductive ‘level of consciousness that created our problems in the first place’. We draw on insights from living-systems and apply these to our challenges in profound ways.
2. Aid Our Thriving Amid Complexity: Being-in-nature is scientifically proven to enhance creativity, empathy, deep listening, improved memory, sense patterns, handle complexity and the ability to see different perspectives. When coupled with somatic body-work, mindfulness, and round-the-fire dialogue circle-work, these immersions enable us to shift from merely ‘coping amid complexity’ to ‘thriving amid complexity’, as well as gaining a greater sense of meaning and purpose in our work-lives and also personal lives. It helps develop flow: physiological and psychological coherence and connectedness, which greatly aids us through challenging times of change and increasing volatility.
