The Human-Nature Quest

A joint offering from Wilderness Vision (Manuel Sturm) and Change Wild! (Thoralf Rumswinkel)

The multiple crises humanity is facing call for action. You sense that the time for change in your life has come, and you want to take responsibility for yourself and the environment. But how can you consciously shape your life in this way? In the Wilderness Retreat, you can specifically address this question. The nature in Norway invites you to take a break from everyday life. We create a space for your personal development and support you in realigning your life and finding your true place in the world.

Personal Discovery Journey in the Nomadic Wilderness Camp A timeout in the wilderness of Norway provides you with the distance from everyday life that you need for your personal development. In the nature retreat, we accompany you in shedding your civilisational protective layers, opening up, and becoming present in the here and now.

Life in the natural environment, guided exercises, the conscious use of periods of silence and reflection bring you into contact with yourself, with nature, and into exchange with the group. If you engage in it, you resonate with the living world.

(Self)-awareness The power for change in your life In resonance with your environment, you can explore your own humanity and your relationship with the world. It’s about recognising who you truly are and what you live for. We stand by you to explore your dreams and motivations and, equally, to face fear and pain. The self-awareness you gain in this process provides you with confidence and enhances your change-making abilities. Through our own experiences and our work as nature mentors, we know the energy that this work can unleash. From it, you draw the strength to change your life, and consciously, pro-actively shape it.

This offering is intended for adults. Under 18 year olds can participate when accompanied by parents or a responsible adult. The average participant on this offering is usually around 35-45 year old, the general age range is 25-65 but it is not limited to that. Usually there is a good balance between genders. Personal development is always long-term and process-oriented. Repeated participation is therefore explicitly encouraged. Participants collectively shape camp life, and your active involvement is required.

Would you like to: – temporarily leave behind the daily routines and rhythms of civilisation? – immerse yourself in wilderness living and learn practical wilderness skills? – come close to yourself and find (more) meaning to your life? – take responsibility for the human and more-than-human world?
