Health & Cooking Experience
Beyond team building. A day that matters.
A vital team isn't built by spending an afternoon on an activity. It grows when people experience together what good food, movement, energy and teamwork do for one another. The Health & Cooking Experience brings all of that together in one day outdoors.
Cook together. Move together. Experience together.
The day doesn't start with a presentation, but with doing.
Together we prepare a healthy, fresh lunch or dinner. Outdoors, over fire, with seasonal produce. That way cooking becomes more than making a meal: it becomes working together, making choices, tasting and enjoying.
Around that, Richard weaves in active, hands-on movement sessions. No demanding sporting feats, just practical exercises around energy, focus, teamwork and body awareness. Food gives energy, movement generates energy, and working together makes that energy visible.
What the day looks like
From arrival to the last bite.
The programme is tailored to your team, the location and the goal of the day. This is the common thread that always runs through it.
- Arrive outdoorsWelcome on location, coffee and a short introduction to the day. No agenda, but a fire that's already burning.
- Move and settle inShort exercises from Qi Gong and somatic movement to get out of your head and into your body.
- Cook together over fireIn small groups, the team prepares lunch or dinner with whatever the season brings. Richard guides and cooks alongside.
- In between: energyPractical sessions on energy, focus and teamwork, woven into the cooking.
- At the tableEating together at one long table. No meeting table, no programme.
- Wrapping upWhat will everyone take back with them on Monday? Short, concrete and no evaluation form.
