The team building has bad reputation for a particular reason: most of the activities designed to join equipment are exactly that, designed. They notice. The team’s making them because they play, and they’re not because they want them to, and the next day nobody’s gonna remember what they’re supposed to have learned.
What does work is different: to get the team out of its usual context, put them in a situation where sharing something’s natural and let the connection come about without forcing them. A workshop with an outdoor painting with buffet, live music and green areas of Chia at his background does exactly that.
Why the Gourmet-Creative format works for teams
The combination of creative activity and shared food has an advantage over conventional team building formats: nobody feels evaluated.
No visible hierarchies at a painting workshop. The manager and the practitioner have the same blank canvas, same colors and same instruction. That temporary equality creates a kind of conversation that work meetings do not allow. And after the workshop’s up and the team’s sitting down and eating together, that conversation goes on naturally.
That’s team building that doesn’t look as team building. And that’s exactly what makes it work.
What 3 Soles offers for team building June 2026
The photos of the event show this with clarity. A large corporate group in the green areas of the restaurant: some painting with a ride, some showing their complete pictures, live music with saxophone at the bottom, buffet with chafing dashes under a green tent, coffee bar visible behind. That’s not a simulation of what it could be: that’s what’s happened in that space.
The painting workshop is the central activity. Horseback and tights and with an integrated training and with acrylic paints. Each participant works his or her own canvas and takes it to the end. The process, and not the result, is the point: the conversation that occurs while painting, the comparison of pictures when they end up, the moment that someone finds out that a co-worker has an skills that I did not know about.
The 3 Sole space for big corporate events
The green areas of the restaurant have the capacity that closed spaces cannot offer for large groups: real free air, lawn, mature trees and sufficient space for a group of 30, 50 or more people to move with comfort during activity.
The cafe-bar operates as a meeting place during the workshop’s rest. The buffet under tent resolves the group’s power without interrupting activity flow. And live music, if the event includes it, adds an atmosphere level that no Bluetooth speaker can replicate.
For groups that also require a space with projector for the formal part of the event, the event hall has that technology available. A performance presentation can be combined with workshop and lunch in green areas.
To see an example of how 3 Soles have been organizing corporate events earlier, in the article about The Business event with the Sika Team There’s a concrete case of how the restaurant works for working groups.

Why Chia June’s the right time
June’s about to close his first semester. It’s a natural time to recognize the work of the team, pause and connect outside the work context. The climate of La Sabana in June has sunny days with pleasant temperature, ideal for outdoor activities.
And the distance from Bogotá, 25-40 minutes from the north of town, makes displacement part of the plan, and not an obstacle. For teams working in Bogotá or nearby municipalities, Chia is the most accessible meeting place with a truly countryside atmosphere.
How to organize 3 Sole’s team building
Define the format first. Just a workshop and lunch? With a formal introduction? With live music? The format lays down the necessary spaces and the necessary co-ordination.
Book with advance. For corporate events in June with additional demand from the world’s parties, booking at two weeks’s notice is prudent.
Confirm exact number. The number of participants determines how many ponies, pits and buffet space. A rough number isn’t good enough to organize the event.
He mentions food restrictions. Vegetarians, people with allergies or specific preferences. The 3 Soles equipment can prepare alternatives if mentioned earlier.
It coordinates group transport. For large equipment that come by bus or several cars, the 24 hour guarded parking space has capacity for 20 cars. For bigger groups, reaching at intervals facilitates entry.
