Walking Therapy for a Healthier, more Productive Workforce


Team building outside work has been a key focus for many companies over the past few decades. From scavenger hunts, escape rooms, hikes, 5K runs to wellness retreats. 


The ever-evolving modern workplace with hybrid work models, remote work, digital nomads and global teams demand more attention towards its employees' health. Not just physical health but also mental health and emotional well-being. Studies show that mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, extreme stress and burnout are becoming increasingly prevalent in the workplaces around the globe. As a result, companies are being called to do more to support employees' mental wellbeing, which in the end has a huge impact on the overall performance.


With increased awareness around employee wellbeing and mental health problems, enterprises are called to look beyond traditional team building activities and corporate walks.  


Walking therapy, where great outdoors takes a holistic approach to talking therapy can help reduce stress and improve mental clarity. These immersive walks in nature with therapy (tailored to employee's personal needs) can help enhance problem-solving abilities, help with social anxiety (which is on the rise due to remote working models) and even foster stronger team bondings. Corporate walking therapy retreats are more than just a wellness trend or a team building walk, it is an investment in the mental wellness, creativity, productivity, and overall well-being of employees. In a world where stress, burnout, anxiety and other mental health challenges are on the rise, walking therapy provides a simple, effective solution to help employees stay physically and mentally healthy. 



Our walking therapy retreats typically involve guided walks in scenic landscapes of Lake District, where participants engage in a combination of physical activity, mindfulness techniques and therapy-like conversations with trained professionals from Stone in my Boot. This is a much smarter strategy for businesses seeking to create a healthier, happier and more sustainable work environment. Where the workforce is not just relaxed for a weekend or couple of days, but really de-stressed from within.


At Stone in my Boot we offer corporate block bookings for Walking Therapy Retreats, so companies can secure a bulk walking schedule for their employees, ensuring they have exclusive access to these nature retreats (with much needed privacy and space) in order to offer effective forms of wellness support to their staff.
