What it is
The Clearing is built around one principle:
How you are being drives what happens around you.
It is for owners of SMEs and leaders of key teams inside larger organisations.
You do not need more information.

"A fantastic day was had by all"
I would highly recommend New Forest Activities for a team building event. Sam was extremely helpful when I booked our canoeing trip, giving me all of our options as well as giving me details of the local pubs and what they could offer for our get together afterwards. All of the staff were friendly and informative and the Beaulieu River was stunning. A fantastic day was had by all and I hope we’ll be back next year!
"All very helpful, efficient and easy to work with"
We were mainly looking for team bonding and fun! Everyone really enjoyed themselves (even those who thought they wouldn’t). I think it was perfect for team building. I would recommend and potentially return if in the same area again.
"Incredible time with New Forest Activities!"
As part of a corporate team building day, we spent the afternoon canoeing and did bushcraft. The facilitators were both extremely professional, fun and informative. It definitely exceeded all expectations and was a great way for the team to connect away from the office. Highly recommend!
"Well organised and friendly staff"
This is the second time we have used New Forest Activities for our company event. They are really well organised from booking to throughout the event. The staff are friendly, helpful and informative and make the sessions really fun. I am sure we will be booking events again with them in the future.
The Clearing – FAQs
Everything you need to know about the leadership day experience.
What exactly is The Clearing?
The Clearing is a one-day leadership reset designed to help you step away from day-to-day pressures and recalibrate how you lead.
It combines guided movement, structured reflection, focused discussion and outdoor elements to support clearer judgement and better decisions.
What outcomes can I expect?
Clearer judgement, reduced doubt and a stronger leadership presence.
Most leaders leave having made one important decision they have been postponing.
How will this help my business?
When leadership steadies, execution improves.
You communicate with more clarity, teams respond faster and momentum increases.
Who is it for?
Owners of SMEs and leaders of key teams inside larger organisations.
If your internal state influences performance, culture or results, this is for you.
How many people attend?
Each day is limited to a maximum of 8 leaders.
This protects the quality of conversation and creates space for real work.
Is it a workshop, coaching session or retreat?
It blends elements of all three in a practical, focused format.
Expect structure, reflection, discussion and outdoor experiences without slides or theory overload.
Where does it take place?
The Clearing takes place in and around Beaulieu in the New Forest.
You will receive full directions after your place is confirmed.
Do I need to be fit or outdoorsy?
No.
The physical elements are accessible and adaptable. The core work is cognitive and behavioural.
What’s included?
The full guided experience, all activities, lunch and light refreshments are included.
Dietary details will be confirmed ahead of the day.
Is one day really enough?

What about bad weather?
The Clearing runs in most conditions, with the day adapted as needed.
In extreme weather we will adjust the format or offer alternatives.
