Aster Collective
Nature-based experiences proven to foster collective success
Why Aster Collective?
You’re a forward-thinking leader with a strong team at a high-growth organization.
You have a big vision, a solid strategy, and plan to get there.
And yet…the team is getting stuck. Something isn’t quite right.
Perhaps there’s a huge goal that continues to elude you. Maybe the team is on the verge of burnout or struggling to find that “spark” in a distributed environment.
Often, the essential missing piece is not different OKRs but a different way of coming together as a team.
Aster Collective offers nature-based experiences rooted in science-backed methods that help groups reset, recharge, and unleash their true potential.
The Experience
Aster Collective is a custom-designed one-day experience that harnesses the power of nature to reduce stress, support creativity and transform how we connect to one another. Informed by the science of awe and the latest teaming research, the immersive experience helps your team reorient from a self-focused lens to a collective one, a crucial component to enhancing the empathy necessary for collaboration. Our aim is to use the day to get participants in the headspace to:
Consider new possibilities and generate new creative ideas
Unlock clarity around roadblocks that have been holding them back
Improve connection to their self and their colleagues
Key Logistics
This one-day team based nature experience is held in a state park, just an hour outside New York City.
The day is structured into individual and group prompts that invite participants to slow down, notice, listen, and collaborate. This approach shifts how a team works together, influencing both its dynamics and the organization's success.
Transportation and lunch will be provided. Comfort with light to moderate walking is required. The experience goes from 9 AM - 6:30 PM.
