For too many Australians, the work week has become a cycle of back-to-back meetings, relentless notifications, and grey office walls. CABN’s _Out of Office & Into Nature_ is the antidote, a midweek wellbeing reset designed to swap fluorescent lights for dappled sunlight, inbox overload for fresh air, and burnout for balance.

CABN’s new initiative is designed to inspire a more meaningful midweek reset – helping individuals, freelancers and corporate teams alike to break the cycle of peak hour traffic, back-to-back meetings, screen time overload and digital fatigue.

CABN CEO, Michael Lamprell, says, “This initiative encourages professionals to step away from traditional work routines to restore mental clarity and foster more sustainable work practices through ‘nature prescriptions.’ Whether working remotely from nature or simply taking time to decompress, the experience is designed to meet people where they are.”

In Scotland’s Shetland Islands, the National Health Service now issues ‘nature prescriptions’ – official recommendations from doctors for patients to spend time outdoors to improve mental health, lower blood pressure, and reduce anxiety. Similar programs are taking off in the US and UK. CABN brings that same concept to Australia, making it easy for workers and teams to integrate nature into their work life without needing to completely disconnect or compromise on necessity.

“Nature prescriptions are now being introduced to assist with mental health issues by making significant improvements to their wellbeing, and I would love to see this emulated here in Australia” says Michael. “So, imagine starting your workday with coffee on a deck surrounded by native bushland, taking Zoom calls with vineyard views in the background, or breaking for a guided bushwalk instead of sitting in traffic.”

_Out of Office & Into Nature_ inspires off-grid comfort and remote working, with optional wellness experiences available like yoga, massages, and nature walks, designed to restore focus and leave you feeling energised for the week ahead. With CABN locations like Hahndorf just 25 minutes from Adelaide, it is the perfect opportunity to break up the monotony of a work week.

_Out of Office & Into Nature_ offers an immediate plug-and-play solution to burnout, whether guests are seeking a solo working retreat, a wellness reset with access to sauna or guided walks, yoga and massages, or a small executive group recharge experience in nature. For employers, these packages aren’t just a perk, they’re a strategic investment in staff wellbeing and productivity. Studies show that nature immersion can boost creativity, improve cognitive performance, and reduce stress
levels for weeks afterwards. Whether it’s rewarding high performers, supporting mental health programs, or running small executive offsites, _Out of Office & Into Nature_ offers flexible group bookings, corporate rates, and experiences tailored to business needs.

Recent research shows that 61% of Australians experience burnout, and with the lines between work and life increasingly blurred, CABN’s approach offers a simple shift – time in nature, without the pressure of switching off completely.

“The solution is simple – a scientifically proven ‘nature dose,’ with time away from the office, immersed in one of six nature-surrounded locations across South Australia,” says Michael.

Research from UNSW Sydney in 2023 found that nature prescription programs can significantly reduce blood pressure, ease symptoms of depression and anxiety, and boost physical activity. CABN’s new initiative delivers exactly that.

“We’ve seen the toll burnout takes on high-performing individuals and teams,” says Michael. “_Out of Office & Into __Nature_ is about stepping away from the grind, even for a day or two, to reset, restore mental clarity, and return to work with a fresh perspective.”

Unlike traditional annual leave, these regenerative stays are designed for midweek breaks that don’t disrupt business flow. Professionals can work remotely from nature. Employers can give the experience to staff as part of wellbeing programs, reward systems or flexible work perks.

The launch comes just ahead of R U OK? Day on 11th September 2025, giving businesses a timely, tangible way to show commitment to staff mental health.

Surrounded by native bushland, vineyards, and wildlife, CABN’s off-grid cabins provide the quiet, space and perspective many workers crave but rarely get.

“The science is clear, we need breaks to function at our best,” says Michael. “This is a workplace wellbeing solution that fits the way we live and work today, and it’s one employers can implement tomorrow.”
