Waste Knot People: seasonal, full-flavoured day courses

Waste Knot People brings you seasonal, full-flavoured day courses to help you reconnect and develop:
creative, thriving cultures where potential is discovered, nourished and fulfilled individually and as an integral, valued part within the team.
a range of techniques to enhance resilience, grounding and a sound understanding of ourselves and each other.
an exploration of key themes and positive groundswell around:
Driving Change
The Wellbeing of People
Shared Ownership & Responsibility of Our Planet
Join us in a unique, inspiring space that restores and reconnects you wholesomely with the roots and shoots of what you do and why...
We serve up memorable, meaningful and impact-led courses with four themed days throughout the year, all structured around the seasons. Activities will fall into the following categories and will be made-up of a selection of sessions and activities depending on the weather, cohort and time of year.
Why we need change today
There have been growing concerns around the environments and cultures within which hospitality professionals have been operating, with stress and pressures leading to burnout, depression and anxiety.
What’s more, 100% of respondents stated that they didn’t receive enough mental health support from their employers and just 23% said they felt they were able to raise concerns about it in hospitality workplaces*.

Our Nature-Based Approach
Waste Knot People has been developed as a tangible antidote, with its roots based in bringing us back to ourselves through our connections with nature.
