A NEW VIEW- A CHANGE OF SCENE
WILD WORKSPACES
A CO-WORKING COMMUNITY - IN NATURE
REWILD YOUR WORKING DAY IN YORKSHIRE!
THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE
A CO-WORKING DAY IN NATURE
TO RE-CONNECT & RE-FOCUS
Wild workspaces began back in 2023. Co-working events, offer workers a day connected with Nature, without compromising those task-lists and to-do's.
Reduce the isolation and loneliness of remote and hybrid working. Breathing in fresh air and escaping the stifling- stuck feeling of regularly working indoors.
The co-working community offers a space where people can reap the benefits of Nature connection for health and well-being. Be inspired with a fresh view and beautiful landscape.
With opportunities to network and meet with others.
All in a wild days work!
As we return for three Wild Workspaces events across Spring-Autumn 2026 we're allowing the event to natural evolve. With more structure time for networking with other amazing, local businesses. Followed by an afternoon of focused work, in the wild!
WILD WORKSPACES
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS?
At our pop up events this year, you're invited to join us to begin at 10:00am (Kettle's on from 09:45am!). After you've grabbed a brew, from our free refreshments. You'll meet me JK, your Wild Workspaces 'Host' and founder of Where the Mind Grows Coaching. I'll share an introduction and orientation to the site.
Then from 10:15-12:00pm you'll have a chance to network with fellow wilder workers (Or settle down somewhere quiet if you'd just prefer to work for the full day)
Enjoy your lunch with others from 12:00pm and then naturally shift your head into the wild workspaces co-working time. With access to working space in the communal shelter (with limited plug supplies) or wander to the pond or woodland area. With seats, shelters and blankets to take a pew and find an inspiring view for a different style of working in your day.
Then its over to you to find your spot and settle into your tasks for the day.
Throughout the day, you are encouraged and welcome to explore the (permitted) areas onsite.
The movement to different areas will support you to increase motivation and focus, between tasks.
You'll naturally find yourself connecting with Nature, which holds a boast of benefits for your mental health, well-being creativity and focus.
Stay for the full day (09:45am-16:00pm) or leave when you are ready - our ticket price is standard no matter what you choose!
Before you leave, we will invite you to fill in one of our event experience forms to help us with feedback and enhancing the experience of our wild workspaces community events.
These events offer a inclusive, respectful and friendly place to network, connect and co-work.
By joining the Wild Workspaces event our members commit to the community culture agreement which ensures the event can run safely, inclusively and respectfully.

Your View for the day
Little Seed Field - Glamping Site and Where the Mind Grows Woodland HQ
Your office for the day, is the beautiful glamping site of Little Seed Field, Near Ripon.
Also the HQ of Where the Mind Grows woodland too. The site not only offers an inspiring view. Our wild workspaces events have access to the communal area with chairs, tables and electricity. (But we can't guarantee your internet connection in the wild!)The site also has some outdoor seating by the two ponds. Just a few minutes walk through the site. Beyond that you are encouraged to go 'really wild' talking a further stroll (10-15 minutes) down to the Where the Mind Grows woodland where you can pause on a log or borrow the camping chairs and picnic blankets to work amongst the wildlife to the sound of the trickling stream and birdsong. The site has access to refreshments and use of the glamping site fridge to store your lunch or medication. There are onsite toilets and even access to showers, if you need a quick spruce at the end of the day. Or for the active folk amongst the community. There are some great walking and running routes close by, if you want to start or end your day with some local exploration. Please note the site is located in a remote location and a car/taxi is required. Where you are joining a colleague at the event we encourage car sharing if possible.
WHY NOT STAY A WHILE?
Have you heard of a 'workcation' or 'workaway'. A concept where you combine a solo break with some working time on your business (in an inspiring setting). If you want to make your Wild Workspaces event your own 'Work Away' you can book accommodation onsite and stay a night or two.
In the past, our wild workspace community have extended their time staying over at our wild workspaces venues. Making the most of a 'work away' with additional business visioning, planning and strategising or simply as a nice restful break. You can book your cabin direct through the venue. Ideal if you'd love to attend a Wild Workspaces but have a bit further to travel. Or for those wanting to create their own 'workcation' for your business thinking space.
Meet your host!
Hi I am JK
I founded Where the Mind Grows to support individuals and teams to know themselves, be themselves and create healthy ways of being and doing.
Wild Workspaces is just one of the offerings we have to help people re-connect with themselves and be part of the natural world.
This is not just of huge benefit to our mind, body and spirit.
Its also important to our future too!
By prioritising our own well-being, our opportunities to be more purposeful in life grows.
As we rekindle our connection with the natural world, we see, value and engage with the importance of pro-environment behaviours and life choices.
The core of my work is life and career coaching for men and women and supporting teams to be at their best and create thriving, psychologically safe cultures.
I also love to create events and opportunities for more people to re-discover their wild!
As a solopreneur ( and former leader in the voluntary & private sectors) I know it can be lonely at times, I know we work REALLY BLOODY HARD and I also know what it feels like to feel shut in on a working day and sick of the sight of the same 4 walls ( we weren't meant to be stuck in boxes!).
With time and energy so precious to us. The Wild Workspaces co-working events were forged to help people feel good, be focused and re-connect!
Wild Workspaces - co-working community
Wild Workspaces was sown from the light and shade of two years of change in working styles.
The light - with more flexibility and the opportunity to enhance your well-being. Wild Workspace invite you to change your perspective and discover new views (literally). Balancing focused productivity whilst creating space to prioritise well-being for one working day a month!
The shade – with more people reporting loneliness, isolation, and disconnection. With blurred boundaries of work and life. Wild Work spaces aim to promote a healthy working culture by reconnecting you with a sense of community. A relaxed 'nucleus' for re-energised task completion. To help you to feel good about what you do and who you are, embracing a focus on health and well-being too!
Gift yourself a day away from your desk!
Wild Workspaces may not have ALL the mod-cons you have come to expect in your working day.
Instead giving you permission to minimise distractions, ‘rest your tech’ and attune your attention. Switch off ‘busy’. A calm and clear mind, to do things differently.
Simplicity is the theme of our events. Helping you find a simple, still, and spacious setting to work creatively, calmly, or productively - You Choose!
