Business Retreats

Can you imagine....

Stress free rather than stressed?

Rejuvenated rather than tired?

Engaged rather than busy?

...

Has there ever been a feeling in your life of wanting to get back to nature?

Nature, its wisdom and systems, provides an extraordinary offering for businesses looking for inspiration to tackle the financial and environmental challenges that we face today.

Over the years, many of our guests at Tarkine Trails have had life changing experiences on their tours with us. We are excited by the opportunity to deliver business retreats, using our new Tarkine Rainforest Retreat that intentionally tap the wisdom and power of nature and expand our guest’s experiences further.

We are looking to build a partnership with you and your business. This is your solution to solving all of your challenging business issues. Together we can create energising and unique experiences in nature that support businesses to fulfil on their vision and values.

The Tarkine Rainforest Retreat - The Benefits for your business

There is a rejuvenative power you will access when you are in nature

Time and time again our clients have reported back to us the rejuvenative power of a tour with us to the Tarkine.

“Having just returned from spending several days with Tarkine Trails at their Tiger Ridge camp in the forest, I am now sitting with my child in Sydney sharing stories of 600 year old trees and pondering what was simply a profound experience........ Thankyou Tarkine Trails, I feel refreshed and grateful for the experience.........”

Simon Westaway – Actor/Celebrity

There is wisdom contained in nature that you will access

Businesses and organisations are now turning to nature to help provide solutions to many of the challenges we face today. This has led to the creation of a field of study known as Biomimicry. We are particularly interested in the wisdom that nature has in relation to how to run a business. This can be applied across the spectrum of business activities from Business Philosophy & Corporate Culture to HR & Work-Life balance to Selling & Marketing.

“The most ‘successful’ global corporations (in terms of sustained growth and profitability) appeared to behave as if they were living organisms, maintaining their ecological ‘fit’ by continuously upgrading their ability to respond rapidly to changes in their environment”

Richard Hames The Five Literacies of Global Leadership.

There is space for clear thinking when you are in nature and life perspective is a natural by product of this space.

In the Tarkine Rainforest, as you let go of many of the trappings of your day-to-day life, the mind chatter and busyness drops away. What is left is a space for clear thinking. In this clear space it is easier to review your business/work goals, your work-life balance, to tap into your intuition and inspiration and plan for the future. There is scientific evidence that being in nature effects how you think, something we can certainly back up with our personal experience and the experience of our clients.

The setup of the Tarkine Rainforest Retreat connects you to nature without sacrificing your creature comforts.

The perfect place to maximise the benefits of the first three points.

The Tarkine Rainforest Retreat

Facilities

The Tarkine Rainforest Retreat gives visitors access to a remote section of the Tarkine rainforest and the opportunity to experience the ancient rainforest from a comfortable base camp. Nestled amongst ancient forests and Eucalypts at Tiger Ridge, the retreat is the first of its kind in the region, and includes large private permanent tents erected amongst the trees, and the new Tarkine Longhouse – the hub for meals and relaxation around the fireplace. Located on the edge of a forested valley, the Tarkine Longhouse features an open design that allows guests to connect to the surrounding forests on three sides, and a cantilevered veranda extending into the lush canopy. Simply furnished to complement the ancient rainforest’s natural surrounds, the Tarkine Longhouse and Rainforest Retreat offers those seeking a relaxing and reconnecting experience the opportunity to experience the stunning wilderness without sacrificing the comforts of everyday life.
