Join us for an exclusive morning retreat—our gift to our close collaborators, connections, and community—trading the digital blur for the wisdom of the wild.
At Statement Co., we believe business is at its best when it mirrors the resilience and interconnectedness of the natural world. This session invites you to step out of the daily grind and into a space of shared learning, appreciation, and community.
We are honored to be guided by Teri Lysak, Director of Cascadia Wild. Teri brings over 20 years of experience in forestry, science education, and tracking to help us explore natural ecosystems to ask ourselves the question: What if our businesses were more biological—interconnected and symbiotic powered by natural intelligence?
The Morning:
9:00 AM: Check-in
9:30 AM – 11:30 AM: Class with Teri Lysak: Wildlife Tracking, Bird Language, and Plant Identification
11:30 AM: BYO Picnic & Connection
