Mother-Daughter Camp at Riedlhof

The quiet time begins. Darkness is present everywhere and already carries the light within it. We invite you to a day camp at the Riedlhof wilderness site. Together, we’ll make a fire, welcome the Rauhnächte (the Twelve Nights), and cross a threshold through the veils of time. Traditional incense herbs will accompany us throughout the day, and together we’ll create an incense blend for the Rauhnächte. You’ll receive an incense blend to take home, to accompany you through the Rauhnächte. Circle culture, along with singing and making music together, forms the framework for every wilderness camp at Riedlhof. Along the way, you’ll also learn various wilderness routines and skills. Healing through connection is our guiding principle at Riedlhof. Interwoven with all areas of community life, it is also the overarching motto for our activities beyond the farm.

FOR ALL “CURRENT” AND FORMER FOREST SCOUTSDo the Forest Scout afternoons sometimes seem too short to you too? That’s why this summer, let’s spend a whole week together again exploring, building, playing, cooking over the fire, telling stories around the campfire and, above all, sleeping together under the starry sky, by the fire or in shelters we’ve built ourselves. At this gathering, Forest Scout group mentors and children from all over Bavaria come together. It’s a unique opportunity for children and mentors to share their skills, games and knowledge—and to challenge themselves and grow along the way.

A six-month journey of discovery into the world of the oak tree! 🌳 Together, we accompany this special tree through autumn, winter, and spring. We observe, explore, marvel, play, and create—and time and again, we turn our attention to the oak as a habitat for plants, animals, and us humans. These nature experiences are designed for children aged 4 and up, who take part together with an adult they hold dear. In a small, regular group, we spend 16 sessions outdoors in nature and experience how the world around the oak changes over the course of the seasons.
