Iken Associates | Climate | Nature | Sustainability
Hello.
We are designers and facilitators of outdoors walking events
We believe that walking in nature while discussing important matters, like your carbon or nature strategy, is more powerful than a thousand meetings in the office.
We know that watching the leaves of a tree rustle in the wind can help you focus your mind and boost your creativity.
That's why we plan unique experiences, nurturing creative discussion and tapping into the potential of your people to provide new insight and crystal clear thinking.
We help you face into the climate and nature emergencies. We create the space and stimulus for your strategy and provide the facilitation experience to identify your next steps.
Feel good
A pensive disruption to your usual routine. Take a meandering walk with your team through interesting streets, squares, hidden places, beautiful spaces.
We will harness the power of the outdoors to inject wellbeing into your working day.
Get inspired
"...two people set out to walk. You see the world through each other’s eyes in a very different way than you would when you were walking alone" Ian Sinclair, 2017
We will take you outside with your colleagues to paint ideas, challenges and images of transformation.
Reflect and plan
Science shows that walking in natural environments is one of the most powerful and simple ways to spur creativity.
At Inside Out we work with nature to design an experience to capture your ideas and help you plan your next steps. We currently focus on facilitated retreats in Italy or the UK.
It all began with a chat. Fuelled by caffeine, two friends from opposite corners of Europe agreed on a fundamental point: ideas need space to breathe. Inspired by the travels of Marco Polo and his views on walking as an aid to thinking, we got started on Inside Out...
