A Year of Nourishment
Workplace Wellness Programs
300+ participants in a recent live session
Your team is not burned out because they need better productivity tools
Burnout isn't a productivity problem. It's a nourishment problem.
A Year of Nourishment is a 12-month framework that gives your people something different every single month: a theme, a practice, a conversation. Something that feeds them - at work and beyond.
No kitchen required. No extra workload.
One month at a time.
What Your Organization Gets
Each month your team receives a new theme - and everything they need to work with it.
-
One-hour live in person or virtual session to open the month with guided discussion and practical prompts
-
Weekly reflection prompts delivered to your community throughout the month
-
Ongoing connection touchpoints via email, Slack, or your preferred platform
-
Flexible commitment — full year, single quarter, or custom timeframe
The 12 Monthly Themes
Rest · Ritual & Routine · Reflection & Awareness · Nature & Environment · Mindfulness · Play & Joy · Sensory Experience · Creativity · Learning & Curiosity · Movement · Food & Cooking · Connection & Community
Why This Works
Why This Works
Most corporate wellness programs fail because they're designed for a checkbox, not for people.
This program is sustained. Monthly. Cumulative. Built around themes that touch every dimension of a person - physical,
emotional, creative, relational.
Teams that go through this program report stronger relationships with colleagues, greater capacity to handle stress, and a genuine sense of belonging at work because they built it together, month after month.
Thirty years of teaching and 50,000 students have shown me that people don't need more information. They need space, permission, and a framework that meets them where they are.
That's what this is.
When curiosity is restored, conversation follows. When conversation flows, connection builds. When connection takes root, community forms.
WHAT ORGANIZATIONS GAIN
Less burnout, more capacity
Monthly practices that restore energy instead of depleting it.
People who share experiences build trust
By December, your team knows each other beyond their job titles.
Skills that stay
Everything participants learn carries beyond the workplace into their actual lives. That's what makes it stick.
