What our groups say

In their words

MLC Leadership Team Reset

“Those connections have continued to sustain us throughout the year.”

“MLC Junior School leadership team had several new members joining at the beginning of this year and it was important to build our new team from the outset. We were thrilled to work with Tracey on a morning Wellbeing Walk. Away from school and the usual meeting routines, team members had space for genuine conversation sharing ideas, reflecting on experiences, and building stronger trust with each other. Being out in the bush provided opportunities for deeper conversations about how we lead, collaborate, and show up for one another. We were also challenged to consider and share how we seek support when it is required. Most importantly, Tracey reiterated the importance of our own wellbeing and connection. At that time of the year, there were so many operational matters on the agenda, but investing time on relationships and culture helped us return to the work feeling supported, valued, and better equipped to thrive together. Those moments of connection reminded us that strong teams are built not only through hard work, but through understanding one another beyond daily tasks. Those connections have continued to sustain us throughout the year.”

“Sometimes, simply getting out, walking, talking, and being present in the moment can make a real difference.”

“During my time as a participant at the Veterans Centre, I had the opportunity to take part in walks and activities with Take Shape Adventures, and it was an experience I found both enjoyable and incredibly valuable.

These walks were about so much more than simply getting outdoors and enjoying nature. They provided an opportunity to talk openly about mental health, wellbeing, and the challenges we face in everyday life, while learning practical ways to better manage our mental health and look after ourselves.

Tracey was fantastic to spend time with. Her knowledge, understanding, and willingness to share advice made every walk an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. I always came away having learned something new, whether it was a different perspective on mental health, practical advice for managing life’s challenges, or simply a greater appreciation for the benefits of getting outdoors and connecting with nature.

For me, one of the greatest benefits was being able to combine physical activity, meaningful conversation, learning, and time in nature. Sometimes, simply getting out, walking, talking, and being present in the moment can make a real difference to how we feel and how we approach the challenges in front of us.

I believe Take Shape Adventures provides an invaluable service to veterans. I would strongly encourage any veteran who has the opportunity to participate to take it. You don’t need to have all the answers or even know what you want to talk about. Just being willing to show up, go for a walk, and engage in conversation can open the door to learning, personal growth, and a better understanding of your own wellbeing.

And if nothing else, a walk out in nature is a wonderful form of therapy in itself. Having someone like Tracey alongside you, with her knowledge, experience, and genuine willingness to listen and share, makes that experience even more meaningful.

Thank you to Tracey and Take Shape Adventures for providing such a valuable service and for making a positive difference in the lives of veterans.”

Sean, Veteran participant, Vasey RSL Care

Chat to us about what you need

Curious but have questions?

How far ahead do we need to book?

Day trips: 4-6 weeks; weekends and retreats 8-16 weeks for the best dates. But just get in contact with us and we will always try to meet your timelines.

Do you run these Australia wide?

Yes, we offer locations across Victoria and beyond, and we’ll travel to where your group needs us. Nature changes the conditions and supports stress recovery and clearer thinking, wherever you are.

What if our group has really mixed fitness levels?

This is the number-one objection. We build around who shows up; no one left behind, no one held up.

How many people do we need?

There isn’t a strict minimum and maximum but the sweet spot is 6-12, scalable to 30+.

Can you cater for dietary needs, injuries or accessibility?

Yes absolutely, just tell us in advance.

How much does it cost / how is it priced?

From $180 per person, shaped by length, travel, food and group size. We’ll quote before you commit to anything.

What’s included?

This will depend on the package but we aim to provide everything so that you and your people just have to show up. This can be everything from guiding, planning, safety, food and transport.
