SEMINAR
Gain new knowledge
Find your best self and the wonderful unity of your team here, where the surfers themselves have always gone to find worthwhile ideas.
Saaremaa is a nice place to go with a team to take time off and relax together or to gain new knowledge with colleagues. Coming to the island separates you from everyday tasks and gives you the opportunity to fully devote yourself to what awaits you there. The ancient power frees the mind and saves from the mundane. There is time and space to dream big and think of ideas as solutions. Here, tasks become a game and solutions are born spontaneously.
In order to make the trip on the island playful and memorable, we share some recommendations with which to make a busy day playful.
We create experiences in workshops introducing the culture of the island, which are inspired by nature and history. The island’s food training courses teach smoking, baking bread, making drinks from local juniper and other exciting things.
