Nature as Your Workshop Space
At Terra Verde, the outdoors isn’t just a backdrop—it’s part of the experience.
Our land offers a rich tapestry of terraces, gardens, forests, and open fields, each with its own atmosphere and rhythm. Whether you’re looking to host a group session under the trees, guide a quiet one-to-one beside the water, or energise your group with games and movement, there’s a spot for every mood and moment. Every space invites connection—with nature, with others, and with oneself.
Terraces & Gardens for Connection and Flow
Across the estate, you’ll find a variety of outdoor spaces designed for quiet conversation and gentle reflection.
The country house features two beautiful terraces—one overlooking the gardens, the other with views of the orchard—both offering peaceful spots for coffee, journaling, or one-to-one conversations. In the gardens below, tucked near the stream, shaded seating areas and stone tables create inviting nooks for relaxed group moments or solo pauses.
Whether you’re gathering thoughts or deepening a connection, these spaces provide the calm and beauty that help conversations unfold naturally.
The Tilia Tree
At the heart of the garden stands a centuries-old linden tree—our beloved Tilia. Beneath its vast, leafy canopy is a large stone table that naturally draws people together. It’s a place for slow conversations, shared meals, or contemplative group work.
With its dappled light and the gentle rustle of leaves overhead, the Tilia table offers a sense of stillness and presence that turns any gathering into something special.
The Oriental Corner
Tucked into a quiet corner of the estate, this three-level stone and wood terrace offers a playful yet peaceful space for ideas to flow.
Cushions and beanbags create a relaxed, informal vibe, while the Moroccan lanterns and shaded design provide just the right mood for creative talks, spontaneous readings, or moments of rest. It’s perfect for small group reflection or simply a peaceful escape when the summer sun is high.
The Forest Yoga Platform
Follow a leafy path into the forest, and you’ll arrive at our dedicated yoga platform—a quiet, open-air space surrounded by trees and birdsong. It’s a perfect setting for yoga, movement, or silent practice, sheltered by nature and far from distraction.
The journey there becomes part of the experience, gently preparing participants to arrive with presence and intention. In the early morning light or the hush of late afternoon, this platform is a favourite for facilitators looking to hold space in harmony with nature.
The Games Field
For more active or energetic sessions, the Games Field offers a large, shaded area just across the road from the main house. Whether you’re planning team-building exercises, outdoor play, or a creative group challenge, this 5-hectare space gives you the freedom to move, explore, and let energy flow. With winding walkways, open sky, and room to roam, it’s perfect for mixing structure with spontaneity.
Let Nature Lead
Every outdoor space at Terra Verde is an invitation—to slow down, to breathe, and to reimagine how and where learning can happen. Whether you hold your entire retreat in nature or weave these spaces in as highlights throughout your programme, the land is here to support you.
