What makes us
out of office
Together— rest, exploration, and play—provide the fertile ground where fresh ideas take root, self-discovery blooms, and personal and collective flourishing transpires.
→ Slow down → Explore → Play 🌀
We find rest and play important for fresh ideas to grow, self-discovery to blossom, and personal and collective flourishing to take root.
→ Fueled by creativity, nature + imagination 🧑🎨
We see creativity as a form of living and draw inspiration from the wonders of nature and playful imagination.
→ A mindset shift for modern-day 🎨
We believe in shifting from a work-centered to a life-centered existence and advocate for a healthier balance between the different dimensions of life.
