Away from deadlines, screens and KPIs — teams open up, heal from burnout, and rediscover each other as people. Under a sky full of stars, hierarchy dissolves.
Most corporate outings are just work with a different backdrop. Novae Glamp is genuinely different. When the screens go away and the sky opens up, something shifts. Colleagues become people. Conversations go places they never go in meetings. Teams come back not just energised — but actually changed.
The combination of being physically away from the office, the natural rhythm of a night under stars, and activities designed for collective participation creates the conditions for real reconnection. Not forced fun. Not trust falls. Just a night that works.
No musical experience needed — everyone plays, everyone contributes. Within 20 minutes a group of colleagues finds a shared beat. Drum circles break hierarchy naturally and completely. The most consistently powerful team activity we run, regardless of company size or culture.
Guided Tibetan bowl meditation for the entire team — outdoors, under open sky. Designed to genuinely decompress from work stress. Teams that arrive exhausted often report this as the moment they actually started to feel present.
A shared moment of awe — the same sky, the same wonder, regardless of who reports to whom. Looking at Saturn's rings together does something to a team's dynamic that no facilitated session can replicate.
Around a real fire with live music — the most natural conversation space there is. No agenda, no slides, no structured facilitation. Just people talking like people. This is where relationships actually form.
Structured outdoor games — box cricket, human foosball, tug-of-war — in team format with points, a leaderboard and a winner. Friendly competition that energises any group.
Sunrise yoga or guided breathwork for the full team — a structured wellness reset before departure. Particularly valuable for high-stress teams or leadership retreats.
A structured 60-minute guided team conversation — values alignment, year-in-review, planning session or just a space for honest team dialogue, facilitated by our partner consultant.
Professional photos of key moments — drum circle, stargazing, group shots at bonfire. Delivered within 48 hours. Perfect for internal comms, LinkedIn posts and team memory.
Guided canvas sessions for the full team — creative expression, no skill required. Particularly powerful for teams that spend all day in analytical, left-brain mode.
A full leadership or team retreat across two nights — deeper programme, more sessions, more time for genuine connection. Ideal for senior leadership teams or off-sites that need real impact.
Hierarchy dissolves naturally when everyone is looking at the same sky, playing the same drum, sitting at the same fire. No team-building exercise achieves this — the environment does.
Sound healing, open air, no screens, real silence — teams that arrive depleted leave feeling reset. Not just rested. Actually different. The kind of recovery that carries into the next month.
Shared experiences under a night sky create the kind of reference points that teams return to — "remember that night at Novae" becomes shorthand for connection long after the trip.
