Course on request for groups of 6 or more Making a Bach flower blend In this course, I would like to make the flower essences that Edward Bach compiled together with you, and discover their ingredients where they naturally grow during a plant and herb walk. You will see how easy and joyful it is to make a healing Bach flower blend for yourself and your family. In addition to learning about the Bach flowers and how they are used for us humans, this requires a little practical know-how and a particular inner attitude, grounded in respect, childlike curiosity, and plenty of joy. The practicing physician Edward Bach, who lived in the early 20th century, set out at that time to search for very particular plant personalities. He found 37 plants and “Rock Water,” which we know today as “Bach flowers.” Bach flower essences and their contribution to charity ​​While working with sick people, Edward Bach noticed that there are certain personality types or states of personality associated with particular illnesses. To bring a personality that had fallen out of “flowing equilibrium” back into a healing balance, Bach looked for someone in the plant world. This plant should be able to help th

ON REQUEST Nature and you – self-actualization: Are you feeling lonely and low on energy right now, and unable to find the right path back to life? Do you feel that at the moment you feel more sadness than happiness and love within you? Are you going through a crisis that you can no longer get out of on your own? Would you like to realize your potential and your dreams, or find out where your passions lie and what abilities and strengths you have? Do you have an important decision to make, or ideas in your head but, out of uncertainty, have not yet dared to take the first step? Nature and your relationships – relationships & social life: Would you like to change the communication in your relationship, or find ways to balance family and work? Do you focus more on the people around you than on yourself? As a father or mother, do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, perhaps act unfairly at times and feel ashamed of it later? Do the same arguments keep recurring in your relationship? Do you recognize patterns that keep repeating and that you would like to break together or on your own? The strengthening power of nature Whatever questions and issues you may have, nature coaching with the

ON REQUEST Human beings are part of nature. With their modern way of life, they have become disconnected from this natural environment and have almost forgotten their connection to it, due to a lack of experiences in nature and too little time spent outdoors. Yet this connection to nature is a key to inner contentment. Forest bathing, also known as Shinrin Yoku, offers a mindful stay in nature, helping us promote our physical and mental health and strengthen each person's awareness of the forest ecosystem. However, Shinrin Yoku is not only a health concept and a way to promote a sense of community. It can also be understood as practical nature conservation, because it encourages us to be more mindful in and with nature. Forest bathing for businesses: What the forest can do for your health. A relaxing stay of several hours in the forest strengthens the immune system, greatly reduces stress, lifts the mood, improves sleep and blood pressure, and much more. Sharing this beneficial experience as a team is important: In addition to strengthening team spirit and a sense of belonging, the forest's healing atmosphere can help quiet racing thoughts, improve focus, and provide energy for

On request Do you feel the desire to give something back to nature and say thank you? The beautiful moments, the good food, the valuable lessons and memories of what is essential in life—all of this flows to you through nature and its inhabitants. Often, we don’t really know how we can thank our dear Earth in a way that truly reaches her and lets her hear us. An altar or mandala made from natural materials is a sacred and wonderful form of spiritual offering, and is many times more powerful when created in community. We will invite the forces and nature spirits surrounding us into the sacred space of our altar. There we can sense them, and they can receive our gifts.

Many people have experienced the tremendous power that wilderness education unleashes in seminars. As we sit around a campfire with like-minded people, we feel alive, connected, peaceful, and creative. Yet when we return to our everyday lives, we are often left with the feeling that we are living in two separate worlds. It can be challenging to bring the power of wilderness education’s core elements into our present-day lives, which follow different rules. This very process of transferring them is at the heart of our innovative year-long course. When we bring wilderness education into our everyday lives, we experience not only personal joy, resilience, and direction. Wearing the Coyote’s cloak, we also become inspiring role models for others. As we put the core elements of wilderness education into practice in our own lives and develop them further with the people around us to meet today’s needs, we become pioneers of a future Earth culture that sustains life. The training comprises five consecutive modules, with a total of 20 in-person seminar days, transfer exercises in between, and supplementary videos. Training topics 1. Friendship with nature2.

This house of life is immeasurably vast and contains all the great and small wonders. To enter is to come home. It means learning the skills and abilities needed to feel at home in what we call nature. You can find all the information about the training under - Register now See you soon!
