How nature and
activity inspire ideas
Spicers Canopy Luxury Tents are the
ideal location to get your team or boss
back to nature and thinking clearly
We are spending more time indoors.
Sitting in offices and staying at home
has had a significant impact on our
physical and mental health, creativity
and productivity. But every time we
make it out into nature—to somewhere
spectacular—we can physically feel
the stress and anxiety of everyday life
stripping away and creative sparks
begin to fly.
Encouraging visits to the gym at
lunch or a team walking group is
proven not only good for the body, but
also for the mind. And now, science
is beginning to put a finger on exactly
what being active and outdoors does to
our brains.
Studies have found that getting out
of an urban environment and exploring
nature is like a return to what we as a
species are designed to do. “Humans
have spent many thousands of years
adapting to natural environments,
yet have only inhabited urban ones
for a few generations,” which is why
returning to nature feels so ‘right’.
According to the research, this
‘right’ feeling actually has a profound
impact on our brains, reducing anxiety
or stress and increasing our attention
spans. Neurologists have worked out
that when a person, team or office is
in the right natural setting they are
more energetic and more likely to come
up with new ideas, innovations and
solutions.
A setting where our instincts make
more sense allows us to embrace our
natural talents. This makes a rural
escape the perfect destination for an
out of town conference, executive
retreat or team building escape.
The team at Spicers Retreats know
how important it is for corporate
groups and exec’s to reconnect with
nature. Surrounded by mountains and
bushland, Spicers Canopy Luxury Tents
is the ideal location for a team that
needs to get back in touch with nature.
Set deep within a 5,000 acre private
nature refuge an hour and a half’s drive
from Brisbane, Spicers has set up the
most unique glamping destination in
Southeast Queensland.
Spicers Canopy Luxury Tents are
10 luxury tents overlooking the serene
bushland, where guests can enjoy
an all-inclusive and fully immersive
nature getaway. The location is
designed to be explored. With a team of
expert Trail Guides on hand, organisers
can choose to include guided walking
into their schedule—be it an hours’
walk in the morning before the day
starts, or a full day of exploring the
bush and team building.
The site includes a lavish central
lodge where a private chef prepares
‘family style’ dining with local fresh
produce and a generous lounge with a
fireplace.
The team at Spicers recommends
visiting for a minimum of two full days
and two nights, so the stresses of the
outside world have time to be stripped
away and for the setting to inspire new
ideas. S
