What Oslo teams book

Team afternoons with rhythm and making, julebord moments, and wellbeing out in the forest or the office.

Team building and team afternoons in Oslo

An Oslo team afternoon might be Japanese ink painting where each colleague finds a calm brushstroke, embodied communication games that get everyone moving, or a workshop where a team maps what drains and restores it, at your office in Bjørvika or Aker Brygge, a studio or a venue.

  • Embodied communication and team building

    Ginie leads eight to twenty-two colleagues through embodied communication and playful movement that builds trust and team connection, in English or German.

  • Sumi-e ink painting

    Jurga, an artist and tutor, guides colleagues through Japanese ink painting, a few deliberate brushstrokes at a time.

  • The Flourish workshop

    Amanda takes a team from what drains and restores each person to shared commitments everyone builds together, in English.

Office, studio or atrium

The ink painting session gives up to twenty colleagues a calm, hands-on stretch of shared focus, and Amanda's Flourish workshop runs over an afternoon, ending with personal plans and commitments the whole team signs up to. Ginie's embodied communication session runs two to three hours for eight to twenty-two colleagues.

Can a session come to our office in Bjørvika or Aker Brygge, or do we go to a studio?

Both work. Jurga's ink painting and Fredrik's breathwork come to your office anywhere in Oslo, and breathwork can move outdoors to a park in summer. Send the address and group size, and the plan fits your space.

What works for a team of 25 that includes non-Norwegian speakers?

Jurga's ink painting runs in English for up to twenty at one long table, and Amanda's Flourish workshop, also in English, works through conversation and shared planning rather than any one first language, so a mixed team of 25 can split across the two.

Is there a team activity in Oslo that gets people off their chairs?

Ginie's embodied communication session runs two to three hours for eight to twenty-two colleagues. Group games, movement and practical non-verbal exercises build connection and trust, with a dash of humour, and the lessons carry straight back into meetings. It is led in English or German at your office or a studio.

Julebord, sommerfest and milestone moments in Oslo

An Oslo julebord or sommerfest can open with a mindful wine tasting, a Stomp workshop where brooms, buckets and bodies become one rhythm, or theatre games that get the whole room laughing. Each brings the company into one shared moment before the table fills.

  • Winefulness

    Gabriela turns a wine tasting into a slow, shared evening of the senses, four wines and finger food included, in English, Spanish or Italian.

    With Gabriela

  • Stomp workshop

    Peter conducts ten to three hundred colleagues in a Stomp workshop where brooms, buckets and bodies become one rhythm.

    With Peter

  • Theatre and improv

    Tooba leads theatre and improvisation games that sharpen listening, empathy and persuasion, in English or Finnish.

The julebord and sommerfest season

Julebord season runs from late November to mid December and fills early, so a tasting or a rhythm opener is best briefed by early autumn. Sommerfest falls in June, when long light evenings suit every format outdoors.

Tooba's theatre and improvisation games suit a smaller team who want to laugh and listen together before the evening's table.

What can we add before julebord dinner that everyone joins?

Peter's Stomp workshop gets ten to three hundred colleagues drumming on brooms, buckets and bodies in 45 to 120 minutes, a loud, joyful start before the meal that needs no musical experience.

Can we start the julebord evening with a wine tasting?

Yes. Gabriela's Winefulness runs about two hours with four wines, finger food and guided tasting exercises that get colleagues talking. December fills quickly, so send the date and group size as early as you can.

Is there a quieter option for a smaller team before julebord?

Tooba's theatre and improvisation games give a smaller team an hour of listening, play and shared laughter before dinner, led in English or Finnish at your office or the venue. Nobody needs stage experience, and the exercises carry straight back into everyday communication.

Wellbeing in Oslo, from the office to the forest

Oslo wellbeing moves outdoors whenever the season allows: nature-based workshops in the forest, and breathwork and meditation on a lawn, in the parks or in the office, with a hatha yoga class indoors when the evenings close in. Each carries an Impact Index before-and-after read.

  • 1 to 2 hours5 to 15

    Inner terrain

    Joshua leads nature-based workshops for five to fifteen colleagues, walking and reflecting together in the forest.

Friluftsliv through the year

Forest sessions run from spring to autumn in Nordmarka and the city parks, with fire and warm layers into early winter. Breathwork scales from five people in a meeting room to three hundred at a company gathering.

Can we do a breathwork session outdoors in summer?

Yes. Fredrik's breathwork moves to a park or the fjord shore when Oslo's summer evenings stay light, for groups of five to three hundred, and comes back into the office for the rest of the year.

Can a yoga class run in our office after work?

Yes. Karolína's class runs 60 to 90 minutes for five to thirty colleagues on mats in a meeting room or a hired studio, combining traditional hatha with intuitive movement, flexibility and a calm, meditative focus to close the working day.
