The Saturday Switch Up
A different Saturday, each month. Sometimes movement. Sometimes mindset. Sometimes both. New settings, thoughtful experiences and good company.
Good company.
We bring people together through conversation, creativity, movement and shared experiences. Across Dubai and inside organisations.
Clients, collaborators & hosts
For organisations
Moments your people actually turn up for.
We design well-hosted experiences that fit around the working day and that people want to be part of. For a leadership team of eight or a whole office floor.
- Talks & Sessions60 to 90 minutes on site. A conversation or a movement reset.
- The ExhaleA two-hour morning takeover of your office.
- The TEC YearA tailored annual partnership, planned around your calendar.
- Team offsitesA day, or a night or two away, anywhere in the UAE.
For organisations: our flagship
The Exhale
Employees told us they did not want another programme. They wanted time to stop, together, without leaving work. So we bring the pause to them.
Arrive
We transform your lobby, conference space or floor before people get in.
Rest
Guided journalling in a journal made for your company, a letter to self, quiet reflection.
Renew
Breathwork, mobility and a short movement reset.
Return
Back to the day with simple tools people can keep using.
For individuals
