Come read with us under a tree next Saturday on Oct 3 from 15:30-17:30 at Lumphini Park.

Bring a book you like, find a spot, and spend some quiet time reading alongside other people. No need to talk. No need to do anything together. Just read, be together, and at the end, share what stayed with you.

🌳 Let’s read under the tree together.

Under the Tree Club is a monthly space for young people to slow down, go offline, and simply spend time together under a tree. Sometimes we do things, sometimes we simply exist together. Each gathering begins and ends with a moment of reflection; same space, different activities each month.

Same tree. Different month. Different experience. 🌿

📍 Lumphini Park, Under the Tree
🗓 Every first Saturday of the month
📅 Oct 3, Nov 6, Dec 5 2026 and Jan 7, 2027
💚 Free to join.

What can nature teach us about leadership? 🌿

Leadership is not only about how we guide others. It begins with understanding how we respond when things become difficult.

A steep climb, changing weather, uncertainty, or a struggling teammate can reveal how we handle pressure, listen, adapt, ask for help, and let go of control.
Nature gives us a space to experience these things—not just talk about them.

Leadership from within begins when we stop describing the leader we want to be and start practising it. Read the full article to explore what nature can teach us about leading ourselves and others:https://www.yep-academy.org/post/leadership-from-within-what-nature-can-teach-us-about-leading

Leading from Within: Nature-Based Leadership Intensive is an 8-day immersive journey for emerging and early-stage leaders, first-time managers, project and team leads, facilitators, educators, and professionals preparing to step into leadership.

Instead of sitting in a training room talking about leadership, we take it outdoors where uncertainty, physical challenge, shared responsibilities and changing conditions create real opportunities to observe how we lead.

About 70% of the journey is experiential, including outdoor challenges, leadership missions, coaching walks, team exercises, reflection and feedback circles. And it ends with a participant-led leadership mission followed by a 90-day plan to bring the learning back into your everyday work.

📅 Nov 21–28, 2026 | 8 Days 7 Nights
📍 Knong Kroper, Cambodia
👥 Limited to 16 participants.

We are nature. 🌿

We often think of nature as something outside of us, a forest we visit, a landscape we admire, a place we escape to. But nature is not separate from us. It is within us, around us, and part of who we are.
