New Zealand's best outdoor adventures
Welcome
We are everyday people with extraordinary skills and knowledge giving you wonderful experiences. Our work takes us deep within natural spaces and broadly throughout local communities.
Why we are called Social Nature Movement
Without places, there are no people. Without people, there are no practices. So, when those three elements are used to express one idea it means in the Greek sense "Hendiatris" (one through three) because most people socialise in many ways, through nature or natural elements and move themselves and their locations often. We liken that phenomenon to the Latin phrase "omne trium perfectum" (everything that comes in threes is perfect) emphasising what we do; engaging more societies with more nature and more movement
The meaning behind Social, Nature and Movement
Little is about what one now does when everyone is doing it. Because there is so much marketing and advertising telling you why something is so good, people have become doubtful and know so much about how good something is not. So, we founded ourselves with whom we do it and how; the true meanings of unique. We are also synonymous with a social movement; specifically a movement improving society and nature relationships through place-based education.
Our Values…
It’s not all about the bottom-line; we give back, generously.
Social Responsibility:
- We incentivise and pay our staff to walk, run, cycle, kayak etc. to and from work.
- Portions of our profits go toward helping disadvantaged and disabled people enjoy their world and our services.
- We organise staff lunch meetings, supporting local businesses.
Environmental Responsibility:
- Whenever we seldom use motorised transport, we consciously offset our environmental footprint through EKOS.
- We actively sustain and improve our places of work through restoration projects, leaving positive traces on this world.
Our Vision…
Our slogan states – ‘we truly do’ – considering people sharing, discovering and moving through 100% nature-based programmes and natural human-powered movement. It is a statement and direct correlation to Social (we), Nature (truth) and Movement (doing). We combine main spaces of home, school and work in our purpose to helping people live better lives, with nature, through movement. Moving away from traditional activities, we move towards hard-to-find experiences toward educational journeys through discovery. We recognise the enormous value of nature and human synergy where we deliver services that are always developing your skills, knowledge and experiences.
Share with us. Explore with us. Move with us.
How do you define "nature?"
Everything we do exists within three fundamental physiological competencies:
Non-locomotion / balance (bodily movements),
Locomotion (moving ones position),
Manipulation (of objects).
