Not all quests need dragons. Some begin with a quiet step into the trees.

The Way of the Trees is a 2 hour walking leadership session held in the lush sanctuary of Wellington’s Botanic Gardens. This is a chance to step away from noise, urgency, and fluorescent lights — and reconnect with yourself through reflection, nature, and stillness.

We’ll follow winding paths, pause for guided journaling, and tune in to the quiet insights that usually get drowned out by busy. We’ll end with a drink and a fireside-style (but fireless) conversation about what surfaced.

1 hour of walking (trust me, not fast or too hectic) and then 1 hour of connecting and talking with your fellow adventurers (leaders).

This isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about noticing. Reclaiming space. Listening for what matters.

$70 per person
Includes coffee/cold drink at the end and all materials
Limited to 10 people
Starts and ends at the Picnic Cafe

Designed for leaders, creatives, wanderers and wild ones seeking a new perspective of their leadership and a chance to reconnect with themselves.
