Experiences
Take a break from the daily grind and build a tiny living world together. The Virtual Self-Sustaining Ecosystem Terrarium Workshop is a creative, relaxing online experience where your whole team crafts a closed, self-sustaining terrarium from home. It's one of the most calming and rewarding virtual team building activities for remote and hybrid teams across the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, and no experience is needed.
What Makes a Closed Terrarium Special
A closed terrarium is a miniature, self-sustaining ecosystem sealed inside a glass jar. Once it's set up, it recycles its own moisture in a tiny water cycle, so it can thrive for months, even years, with almost no maintenance. Part science experiment and part living art, it's a genuinely fascinating thing to build and an even better thing to watch flourish on a desk or shelf.
What You'll Make
Guided live by a plant expert, you'll learn how to build your own terrarium in a jar, layering the elements that keep a closed ecosystem balanced and healthy. Don't worry if you're a beginner; your instructor walks everyone through it step by step so the whole group feels comfortable and confident, and finishes with a beautiful, personalized terrarium to show off.
What's Included
A DIY terrarium kit delivered to each participant's door
Two succulents plus soil, moss, and colorful pebbles
Your glass vessel and all decorative elements
Live, step-by-step guidance from a plant expert
A Mindful, Screen-Friendly Reset
Even over video, working with soil, moss, and greenery has a grounding, almost meditative quality. It's a refreshing change from back-to-back calls, giving remote colleagues a warm, shared activity that sparks conversation and genuine connection. Everyone leaves recharged, with a little piece of nature to brighten their space.
Perfect For
This workshop is a favorite for virtual team building, remote team bonding, corporate team building activities, offsites, holiday parties, and milestone celebrations. It's ideal for distributed teams, and it also makes a wonderful virtual gift experience for plant-loving friends and family. Kits ship in advance, so no one has to gather supplies on their own.
How It Works
Once your session is booked, kits are sent to each participant. On the day, your instructor welcomes the group and guides everyone through building their self-sustaining terrarium step by step. The relaxed pace leaves plenty of room for creativity, questions, and conversation, and the team will help tailor timing and group size to your event.
By the end of the class, your team will have connected over something genuinely fun and have a beautiful, low-maintenance living ecosystem to enjoy. Book the Virtual Self-Sustaining Ecosystem Terrarium Workshop for a calming, creative way to bring your remote team together.
