The Embercombe Experience: by On-Purpose

On one of the first warm weekends in June 2018, sixteen On Purpose associates arrived at Embercombe — excited but perfectly clueless about what was to come next. Not that knowing in advance would have done any justice whatsoever to the experience we shared together that weekend. Read this story from Ayesha about her accounts on our wild land:

I could tell you about what we did there — something about good leadership, about team building, wild activities and mouth-watering treats. But that doesn’t really explain what Embercombe really does. What it curates for people who stumble into its open, all-encompassing embrace. That feeling of being still with the silence of nature, yet alive with the fire of our potential.

And of course, how could one not enjoy the beauty of simple things — all too rare in today’s world: waking to the sound of nature in yurts more comfortable than the concept would suggest; the luxury of rediscovering the joy of mysterious things. Days began with a palpable sense of curiosity and ended with a kind of fulfilled “happy-tired” that comes only after a day of perfectly exhausting mental and physical (sometimes hilarious) activities, bellies full of good, thoughtfully prepared food.
