Our Wellbeing Micro-Adventures are day-long excursions that bring participants into Scotland's breathtaking natural landscapes. These sessions are designed to be short yet impactful, providing a powerful break from daily routines and a chance to reconnect with nature. Activities include kayaking, yoga, forest bathing, mindful nature walks, outdoor cooking, and team-building exercises. Each activity is chosen for its proven ability to reduce stress, enhance mood, and promote physical and mental wellbeing.

Scientific Evidence:

Research has shown that spending time in nature can significantly reduce levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, and boost endorphin levels, leading to improved mood and overall mental health. Forest bathing, a key component of our Micro-Adventures, has been scientifically proven to lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and improve immune system function. Kayaking and other moderate physical activities increase cardiovascular health, improve muscle strength, and release endorphins, which are natural mood lifters.
