Case Studies

 Motorpoint approached Calm in the Wild during a period of significant organisational change. Staff were experiencing high workplace stress, shifting job roles, and the impact of recent redundancies.

The People Team wanted to offer colleagues something restorative, grounding, and genuinely supportive  - not another indoor wellbeing talk.

Across four sessions, Calm in the Wild delivered a series of nature-based wellbeing experiences designed to reduce stress, rebuild connection, and create moments of calm in the middle of uncertainty.

1. Mindful Woodland Walks (x2)

Gentle, guided walks focusing on grounding, breath, sensory awareness, and connection to the natural environment.

Activities included:

• slow breathing and breathwork
• grounding and sensory invitations
• time for reflection and quiet
• a shared snack in nature

2. Woodland Wellbeing Sessions (x2)

These sessions combined calm, creativity and campfire connection.

Activities included: 

• grounding and mindful listening
• nature-based therapeutic strategies
• campfire snacks
• creative nature crafts (stick lashing and natural mandala making)

All sessions were inclusive, low pressure, and accessible to staff with varying levels of confidence outdoors.

Staff reported feeling noticeably calmer, more present and reconnected - both with themselves and each other. 

What participants told us: 

• Relaxed
• Calm
• I feel lighter
• Surprised how much I enjoyed being creative with nature
• I feel focused
• I feel de-stressed and calm
• I enjoyed sitting with no phone - just the sounds
• Surprised how much you notice when you stop
• I feel at peace
• The breathing exercise really helped me focus
• I enjoyed the mindful listening
• I enjoyed the hammock
• I feel content
• Really enjoyable - lovely session
• The campfire and food were great
• Making the stick shape was therapeutic.

Every participant said they would recommend the session to a colleague.

Across all four sessions, not a single piece of negative feedback was received.
