Indraloka Offers Unique, Effective Team-Building Experience

As organizations race to use remaining professional development and wellness dollars before year’s end, a farm animal sanctuary in Northeastern Pennsylvania is offering a rare opportunity to invest those funds in something that delivers lasting impact.

Indraloka, a 100-acre sanctuary home to nearly 200 rescued farm animals, offers organizations that book their spring 2026 team-building experiences before December 31, 2025, a limited-time 20% discount.

The offer is designed to help companies and nonprofits convert unused 2025 budget dollars into meaningful, research-informed team development that supports resilience, communication, and workplace well-being.

“Every December, we hear the same thing,” said Indraloka Founder and Executive Director Indra Lahiri, PhD. “Teams don’t want to lose their remaining budget, but they also don’t want to spend it on something forgettable. This is a chance to invest those funds in an experience that truly changes how people relate to one another.”

Indraloka’s trauma-informed team-building programs replace traditional trust exercises with guided, facilitated experiences alongside rescued animals. Participants engage in mindfulness practices, storytelling, and animal-assisted activities that help teams find a healthy pace, build empathy, and reconnect to shared purpose.

Organizations across healthcare, philanthropy, education, and the nonprofit sector have already turned to Indraloka for this work, including the Moses Taylor Foundation and the Scranton Counseling Center.

“Our staff felt recharged and deeply connected,” said Sara Wodder, Psy.D., President and CEO of the Scranton Counseling Center. “The experience created space for reflection, learning, and genuine care—for ourselves and for each other.”

Programs range from two-hour sessions to full-day retreats and can accommodate groups from 6 to 200 participants. Experiences are customized based on organizational goals and may include animal-assisted challenges, guided reflection, wellness practices such as yoga or qigong, creative sessions, and post-event action planning.

The 20% discount applies to spring 2026 team-building programs booked by December 31, 2025, allowing organizations to lock in dates while using current-year funds.

“This is not a retreat where people sit and listen all day,” Lahiri added. “It’s experiential, grounded, and deeply human. Teams leave with practical insights they carry back into their work.”
