Birmingham Business Park recently partnered with the popular Zen Project for another wonderful day of breathing and meditation sessions in the Park’s landscaped grounds.

The Zen Project is a mobile mindfulness space running micro calming sessions out of a renovated American school bus called the Zen Den. The Zen Project’s yellow bus was at BBP to host gentle breathing techniques for stress, energy and anxiety. Guided meditation and sound healing techniques were also enjoyed by Park employees taking part.

Partnering The Zen Project is part of BBP’s commitment to put mental wellbeing at the forefront of life on the Park, and our landscaped grounds and lake provides the perfect, peaceful backdrop for the sessions.

Kaye Smith, co-founder, The Zen Project, said: “The Zen Project believes that mental health in the workplace isn’t just about ticking boxes – it’s about creating a culture where everyone feels supported and able to thrive. “Encouraging work-life balance, managing stress, and building positive connections can all make a real difference. Prioritising mental health doesn’t just benefit individuals – it makes for a more productive, positive workplace overall – and we love visiting Birmingham Business Park to host our sessions for workers from all the great businesses.”

Lori Henebury, Marketing, Community and Business Development manager of Birmingham Business Park, commented: “Partnering with The Zen Project is a fantastic opportunity for us to bring practical, accessible mindfulness to everyone at Birmingham Business Park. We're proud to offer a space where employees can step away from their desks, connect with nature, and prioritise their wellbeing. It’s about fostering a culture where health and happiness come first, knowing that when people feel good, they perform at their best”

Tammy Coogan of Rolls-Royce added: “The Zen Bus is a fantastic way to support employee well-being. At Rolls-Royce we invest in all aspects of our most important assets – our people. We encourage a culture of mindfulness and self-care, which can enhance focus and productivity. By providing a dedicated space for meditation the zen bus offers an environment where employees can refresh, recharge and find balance amidst their busy schedules.”
