'Harvesting Wisdom'. Part of The Natural Network series. Business, Nature & Reflection.

Step away from the screen and into nature.

For 95% of human history, we lived, worked and learned in alignment with the natural world. Today, we spend most of our time indoors, under artificial light, glued to screens, trying to force ideas. The result? Burnout, exhaustion and a sense of being out of sync with what really matters.

The Natural Network is a new series of gatherings created by Daring Works  for business leaders, change-makers and professionals seeking to work and live with purpose. It’s for those who want to reconnect to what matters, gain clarity and bring fresh energy back into their work and life.

Our first event, Harvesting Wisdom, is timed to the Autumn Equinox which is a natural moment of balance, reflection and preparation for the months ahead. This is a morning designed to help you pause, recalibrate and step into the remainder of 2025 with renewed focus, energy and insight.

What to expect:

1. Interactive exercises linking personal insight to professional growth
2. Guided reflection and conversation in nature
3. Connection with like-minded professionals navigating change
4. Seasonal market-garden lunch with fresh produce to take home
5. A 30 minute online follow up coaching session with Nick Whitnell to integrate your insights

By attending, you can:

1. Clarify priorities and focus - identify what to grow, what to release and set actionable intentions for the remainder of 2025, supporting clearer leadership and decision-making.
2. Strengthen resilience and presence - practical strategies to manage energy, reduce stress and bring intentionality into daily work.
3. Boost creativity and problem-solving - experience how nature and reflection can spark new ideas and approaches for business challenges.
4. Deepen professional connections - cultivate meaningful networks with peers navigating change.
5. Embed seasonal cycles into work rhythms - learn how aligning life and work to natural patterns can improve focus, performance, and wellbeing.
