CUSTOM RETREATS & COMPANY OUTINGS

Are you looking for a unique company outing idea? Or a special day for a group of friends or family? 

Then let’s talk about planning your next event at our beautiful country location in Brandenburg – it’s the ideal place to unwind, connect, and celebrate – perfect for special get-togethers, corporate team building and recharging away from urban life. 

 Spending time in the beautiful outdoors is not only fun but is also good for the brain, body and soul. 

The simple act of walking in the woods or watching the sun rise or set can help us to relax, regenerate and think more clearly. In fact, many science-based studies back the positive effects of nature – including helping to reduce stress, restore our focus, increase creativity and strengthen our immune system – just to name a few! 

LEONIE WOIDT-WALLISSER

Leonie has a background in architecture, the fine arts and permaculture. Since having left her family’s off-grid homestead and extensive garden in small-town South Australia, she has lived amongst the urban populations of Australia, Germany, the US and the Netherlands. Her theoretical research in restoration ecology in the cultural sector, undertaken as part of studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, triggered her to initiate Cityplot in 2007. She co-coordinates the workshop programme and gardens in Berlin. 

Leonie has many years of experience teaching and consulting in multiple facets of permaculture: food growing systems; community building and social systems; architecture, urban and landscape planning; natural building and construction with upcycled materials; nature connections and spiritual ecology; holistic and regenerative practices on all levels; and beyond. Life coming full-cycle, step-by-step she nears a self-sufficient lifestyle and delves ever deeper into the worlds of ethnobotany and deep ecology.

Leonie strongly believes that there is not a problem, which cannot be solved through tapping into the heartbeat of the Earth - and that even the smallest of garden plots will help get you there!
