Wild Village Camp Sweden

We celebrate the beginning of spring and 13 years of Wildnisschule Waldschrat. Around the spring equinox, we come together to celebrate the light and vitality of spring. You’ll get to know our work, our camp, and the surrounding area. Come by and celebrate with us!

Unnoticed by other people, we move silently, invisibly, and without a trace through the thicket, along game trails, and sometimes in the water. We sleep in a different place every night, under the open sky. We pay special attention to the mysterious language of the birds, which are especially active at this time of year and can tell us a lot about our surroundings. We also set out in search of tracks of the Great Greys. We are all traveling together here.

In our family camps, generations meet and connect. In the midst of nature, a supportive and harmonious community quickly takes shape, one that supports and sustains, inspires and motivates its members. Children naturally and effortlessly find their way to one another, while adults can discover more room for conversation and time for themselves. For a few days, a small, wild village takes shape, and it becomes clear how beautiful, powerful, and meaningful communal life close to nature can be. Life in the Clan The demands of modern life and the lifestyle that comes with it place particular pressure on families. Parents and children spend most of the day apart, as work, learning, and family life take place in different locations. If things go well, they have mealtimes together and the weekend, when there is always one thing or another to take care of. Simply being together, flowing with the passage of time, has become rare. The Wilderness Family Camp is about simply having time together for a weekend, whether as a single-parent, blended, or nuclear family, or as an extended family group: being outdoors, making things by hand, cooking together over the fire, going on little journeys

“There was a mother who had four children: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter…” As the year goes round, we hold weekend wilderness camps for children and young people. Together with the animals and plants in the surrounding area, we experience the different seasons and their qualities, and observe how they and we change. We go tracking, practise the skills of traditional peoples, and discover that there is no such thing as bad weather! Our weekend camps are the ideal introduction to our wild world and, during the warmer months, are also suitable for participants with no prior experience.

Our summer holiday camps guarantee especially intensive experiences of nature and community, because at our wild meadow right by the forest lake, we do almost everything ourselves.

The days grow shorter, the air cooler and damper, the leaves on the trees glow with colour, and whitish-grey mist rises. The plants retreat into the earth, and the animals are busy preparing for winter. We, too, feel an increasing need for rest, retreat, and sufficient nourishment. It is autumn. We make ourselves cosy by the fire, listen to adventurous stories, and devote ourselves to ancient crafts.

Today, many people long for community. They want a connection with others like themselves, in which all members value, inspire, and support one another. In this training, we explore through our own experience what such communities are founded on, so that we can foster their growth as mentors. The goals of the training are: Developing one’s own personality in order to contribute its potential to the communityConnecting with nature and other people in order to live in harmony with the greater wholeAcquiring powerful tools to enable us, as mentors, to guide group processes WILDNISWANDERN is a provider of tours, seminars, and training courses in the great outdoors. Our wilderness school was founded in 2000 and aims to foster people’s connection with all living things.

How you can practice active listening The Council is a talking circle where the aim is to practice attentive and active listening, to listen empathetically, and to meet one another with empathy and an appreciative attitude. In the Council, a feeling of connection to ourselves and other people arises when we allow ourselves to show who we really are. In our talking circle, a space of trust is created, where mindful communication with one another is an important part. In the Council, a feeling of connection to myself and other people arises when we allow ourselves to show our vulnerability. In our talking circle, a space of trust is created in which you can show this very vulnerability. Learning to listen at the Aeracura Wilderness School We are lovable and in the right place as we are, even when we sometimes feel imperfect. In our talking circle, we welcome the different feelings. Learning to listen is especially essential when it comes to sincerely hearing other people's thoughts and words. Through mindful communication, the Council also helps us gain new insights and take on

A year-long journey for women in the rhythm of nature For thousands of years, women have gathered in circles and shared their knowledge of their own bodies (physical and emotional) and the body of the Great Mother, Mother Earth. In doing so, they established many values in society, such as giving (rather than taking) and sharing (rather than having). Together, they observed the course of Mother Nature and her changes throughout the year, consciously experienced and celebrated them, and thereby honored their own transformation. We would like to reconnect with this tradition and, together with you, create a protected space where we women can once again feel this ancient wisdom with all our senses. We will sing songs together, dance, travel to other worlds, celebrate rituals, and enjoy ourselves in all the facets that make us who we are. We will discover the triple goddess within ourselves, creatively bring our roots to life, and take the time and space we need to share with one another and to recognize one another. What to expect: Mindful encounters, knowledge of the festivals of the Wheel of the Year, meditations, songs, dances, women’s wisdom, rituals for the energy of women at

This course understands us humans as relational beings, connected to the world through four gates: body, soul, mind, and spirit. To open ourselves to the fullness of life, we will explore, nurture, and heal our personal pathways.
