The team building activity in Montserrat turned out to be much more than a simple getaway: it became an experience to connect with culture, nature, and the inner dimension of each participant. With a group of 40 employees, the day was structured into three workshops that helped everyone rediscover the value of teamwork through the unique setting of Catalonia’s sacred mountain.
Culture workshop: rediscovering the past to understand the present
The first workshop, focused on culture, took the form of a scavenger hunt around the Montserrat Monastery. Teams faced challenges and tests related to the site’s history, identifying architectural details, key figures, and historical milestones to build a shared timeline. Beyond being fun, the activity encouraged cooperation and communication, highlighting the importance of understanding the past to make sense of the present — in both a company and a community.
Nature workshop: learning from the balance of the forest
The second part of the day centered on nature. During a peaceful walk near the monastery, participants observed how different animal and plant species interact within Montserrat’s ecosystem. Through moments of reflection, they drew parallels with their own organization: just as a forest needs harmony for each species to thrive, a company also depends on cooperation among its departments. This connection with the environment helped reinforce values such as sustainability, respect, and collective responsibility.
Spirituality workshop: one word that says it all
To close the day, the third workshop, dedicated to spirituality, offered a calm space for introspection. After a short meditation, everyone was invited to choose a single word that summarized the essence of the two previous workshops. Words like harmony, balance, trust, and connection emerged, showing that the experience had planted seeds of deeper understanding about human relationships and teamwork.
An experience to remember.
The result was a unique team-building experience, filled with symbolism and meaning. In this exceptional natural and cultural environment, participants not only strengthened bonds and communication but also reflected on the role each person plays within the collective — just like the species in an ecosystem that cooperate to sustain life in balance.
At Montserrat, surrounded by mountains, nature, and spirituality, the team discovered that shared success grows from respect, awareness, and mutual learning.
