Monica Sander Burns on remediating burnout culture through biophilic workspace design

In our personal and collective efforts to resist and transform burnout culture, many of us engage in embodiment and mindfulness practice, only to re-enter the cycle of burnout in our working lives. How can we shape and design our workspaces so they invite more space for regenerative growth - one grounded in nature’s principles of reciprocity, diversity, rest and care? What can a workspace intimately connected to the needs of the body look like within head-centric ways of working?

In this month’s episode, we bring to the show Monica Sander Burns, a certified Forest Therapy guide and founding partner of Society of Trees, an organization helping to bring the rejuvenation of nature therapies to the workplace. Monica has guided hundreds of participants through Nature therapy sessions that have been designed to replenish and restore a depleted workforce.

In our conversation, Monica maps out what a biophilic workspace can look like, embedding nature immersion in our working lives that interweaves human and ecosystem wellbeing as remediation to workplace burnout culture.
