TRUE NORTH provides the clarity, calm and inner conviction to make courageous decisions about what comes next.
It’s an expertly facilitated, immersive day in nature designed for senior professionals at a crossroads who feel they
can’t continue on auto-pilot.
Constant meetings, politics and restructures can make it hard to hear what you actually want, let alone make steps to
do something about it.
Some immersion days for professional and personal growth can feel either too corporate and emotionally disconnected, or their focus is maybe too much on wellbeing without grounding in the realities of modern work and life.
True North holds the balance between the two.
Set in a beautiful 42-acre ancient woodland site with expansive views of the Stroud valley, our team consists of Founders, Senior professionals, ex-CEOs, career coaches and Eco-psychology practitioners who’ve experienced the pressures, the highs and lows, the ‘feeling stuck’ and reinvention firsthand.
This isn’t a corporate away day or a one-off retreat. And it’s not just sitting in a circle. It’s a thoughtfully guided threshold experience for people at moments of transition.
And it doesn’t end when the day finishes, we’re building a community that learns and grows naturally over time.
WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
UNIQUE BLEND OF EXPERTISE
We combine evidence-based insight from behavioural science, nature-based models and business expertise - all with empathy, honesty and compassion.
We see people as whole - not simply through their job title or success measures.
UNIQUE GROUP IN A BEAUTIFUL SETTING
This is for mid to senior professionals who are all facing a similar niggling feeling that work is no working for them.
You'll have the chance to join a group who you can relate to, connect with and learn from, all in the backdrop of the beautiful Stroud Valley.
CONTINUED GROWTH
Following the day, you’ll be invited to an online re-group and optional one-to-one to support accountability and continued growth
We don’t just talk about transformation.
We’ve experienced it, led it and continue to live it ourselves.
“The day had an air of incredible openness and genuine connection that left me almost speechless at times.”
Tom, Natural Insight member

“It's like going swimming, you're not sure if you want to go at first, but as soon as you do, you feel the benefits immediately and never regret it .”
Oli, recent participant
"I had a wonderful experience at the last Natural Insight day. I truly came away feeling a little reset, proud of myself, and reflecting on how I can slow down, reconnect with the things I love the most, and make some serious changes to support my life and work.
"I learned some new techniques, seat spots, grounding exercises, and writing down my thoughts and wants, which are things I’d never done before. I really appreciated meeting everyone on the day and can see the immense value of the programme."
Jo, Founder of LibiLoves
"Ian is a humble, candid, open-minded pillar of support, experience and knowledge. Working with him has given me renewed confidence and belief in my ability to handle difficult situations."
Tom, Founder of Koyo healthtech
Simon creates a space that feels calm, grounded and deeply supportive. His gentle presence and deep listening helped me feel at ease and opened up a real journey of self-exploration and reconnection"
Sarah, Senior Professional
"Working with Chloe was incredibly insightful and useful in helping me set intentions and purpose in my life and work. Her friendly, open and focused attention in our sessions meant that I was able to really get to the bottom of thoughts and goals and persevere with them. Working with Chloe is a gift to you and those around you. I strongly recommend it."
Jo Boswell, Leader
"Chloe's an exceptional facilitator who cares deeply about helping people find their purpose and live a happy life. Her course beautifully balances the evidence base with empathy and collective connection with solo reflection. Time with Chloe is time well spent."
David, People Leader
FURTHER AFIELD
3-Day Expedition
Research shows that spending 3 days in nature can have profound effects on us including supercharging our immunity by raising killer cell activity by 56%. Our cortisol levels drop significantly and some evidence shows that feelings of awe evoke a greater sense of altruism and deeper purpose.
Through a tested methodology based on 'Theory U' and other new venture models, we'll expertly guide a small group into the wilderness to deepen into their true selves to spark innovation and transformation which is integrated back into business.
