team building

not just a day together — a shift in how you see each other

team building

Most team building stops at activity. We go further — designing shared journeys that awaken creativity, deepen trust, and leave a mark long after the day ends.

At dot & salt, every programme is a co-authored myth about your company. Through sensory storytelling, poetic play, and spaces of genuine encounter, we turn colleagues into allies, and projects into shared quests.

You won’t find obstacle courses or generic games here. Instead, you might step into a forest lit as a dreamscape, share a silent tea ritual at dawn, or solve a riddle that only unlocks when the group listens as one.

Because when people see each other in new light, they work together in new ways.

Inner Wanderland, Texel

A journey for 25 IT leaders and top managers — not into the boardroom, but into the wild heart of their own imagination.
Set against Texel’s shifting skies and salt air, this was no ordinary bike ride. It was a living fable designed to awaken the inner child, dissolve formal roles, and weave leaders into a true collective.
The path unfolded in chapters: a mermaid on the shore offering riddles, a giant mushroom as a symbol of nature’s quiet power, an art installation tent where a mushroom tea ceremony and deep meditation became portals to forgotten playfulness and insight. The day began with a ritual initiation — sealing the group into a shared story that belonged only to them.

Impact: Beyond the beauty of the island, Inner Wanderland was a strategic act of transformation. It unlocked creativity, deepened trust, and redefined how these leaders connected — not just as colleagues, but as co-authors of a shared vision. They left with more than memories: they carried new ideas, renewed energy, and a stronger, more inspired network to lead with.

Sonic Echoes — Germany

Created for a group of 32 therapists working with children with autism, this two-day journey in the forests and meadows of Germany was designed to awaken the senses — inviting participants to feel and perceive with the same openness and sensitivity as the children they work with.
On the first day, we explored taste through a meditative tea ceremony held in nature. Each sip became a quiet passage into awareness, presence, and subtle emotional attunement.
On the second, sight was set aside. Participants wandered blindfolded through forest and field, guided only by sound. Custom-made instruments responded to touch, breath, and movement, turning each gesture into music. Without the need to name or explain, they entered the rare beauty of pure listening.

Impact: A renewed sensitivity — to self, to others, and to the quiet language of the senses. The journey was designed to awaken the same openness and receptivity as the children they work with every day — a deep, human listening that goes beyond words.

Black and White, Amsterdam Immersive Journey

For an IT startup whose top management was scattered across countries, distance was more than geography — it was a gap in connection. We set out to close it, not with meetings, but with myth.
In the heart of Amsterdam, we wove an intimate, sensory-rich journey blending storytelling, immersive theatre, and the subtle alchemy of “happy tea” infused with truffles. The group stepped into a shared quest — gathering symbolic puzzle pieces for personal growth and collective alignment. Along the way, meditations opened inner landscapes, the Goddess of the Dark guided them through transformation, and each participant created a personalised aroma blend — a tangible anchor to carry their insights home.

Impact: This was more than team building; it was a rare, co-authored experience that deepened trust, sparked creativity, and built a sense of belonging across borders. Participants left not only more connected to each other, but more connected to themselves — ready to lead with renewed clarity and cohesion.

value for the company

When meaning fades, so does connection. A team without inspiration drifts — creativity dims, collaboration weakens, and potential stays locked away.

Our experiences restore that spark, creating spaces where ideas flow, trust deepens, and people feel part of something greater.

When to bring us in

In high-pressure seasons — to create space for release, renewal, and reconnection
For remote or distributed teams — to turn distance into shared presence
When marking milestones — to celebrate in ways that reflect your spirit and story
To weave well-being into culture — through mindfulness, play, and artistry

At first, I heard sounds and instantly labeled them - like seeing a tree and just thinking 'tree.' But halfway through the journey, I stopped naming. I just listened. And suddenly, a whole new world opened: no labels, no meaning — just pure sound, rich with unexpected beauty. It felt like sensing the world before language ever existed.

Lief, CEO

This is the weirdest and most unusual daytime retreat I've participated in, everything was very beautifully and non-standardly done. The tent with an umbrella roof was impressive.

Vladislav, Director

Our bus was delayed by 2.5 hours, so we arrived on the island frustrated, but the program was structured in such a way that at the very first stop, we did a releasing ritual, and even though I don't believe in such things, it seems like it worked. Overall, it was very unusual, true contemporary art.
