WILDERNESS EDUCATION: DEFINITION AND BASIC ROUTINES Definition of Wilderness Education It is an attempt to rediscover and live with perception and respect for creation, by reconnecting with oral Indigenous sources. This includes cognitively getting to know the flora and fauna, as well as developing a subtle sensitivity to the way nature speaks in the landscape around us. We encourage original learning, learning with the mammalian brain, which is responsible for sensory perception, emotions, and relationships. Our fundamental goal is to awaken and refine this innate wilderness awareness, this natural intelligence. (Coyote Guide) Appropriate training enables these new imprints to be carried over into the “wilderness of civilization.” BASIC ROUTINES OF WILDERNESS EDUCATION Gratitude: describing the elements and their effects in poetic language, fostering an attitude of gratitude, alignment, and the straightening of energySit spot: finding a sit spot, writing a weekly sit-spot reportWide-angle vision: releasing the focus, breaking old routinesBowDrill: getting to know different types of wood, practicing craftsmanship, practicing patienceJournal: nature observations, the story of th

WILDERNESS EDUCATION: DEFINITION AND BASIC ROUTINES Definition of Wilderness Education It is an attempt to rediscover and live with perception and respect for Creation, by returning to oral Indigenous sources.

The six weekends of the program are spread over one year, after which participants receive a certificate from the provider. The outdoor assignments require approximately 4 hours per week.  **Greater connection with nature through knowledge:**  Bird studies, animal and plant s

Flint knapping with Stone Age hunter Werner Pfeifer Flint can be used to make razor-sharp blades that people of the forest and wilderness can use. Werner shares his many years of experience and teaches you the most important fundamentals, tips, and tricks. Make your own first arrowheads, drills, awls, scrapers, and burins. Suitable for beginners! Werner Pfeifer is Germany’s only full-time Mesolithic hunter-gatherer. He disagrees with anyone who claims that Stone Age people were primitive cave dwellers. Even back then, people had an enormous knowledge of nature and practical skills. That was the only way they could survive in the wilderness….. (Quote: NDR)

Wilderness can also be experienced in and around cities. Over five consecutive days, children aged 7 to 12 discover nature at a day camp and spend the nights at home. Through creative play, exploring together, and small-group activities, they gain experience with plants, mammals, birds, tracking, and survival techniques. We accompany the urban foxes as they discover the secrets of nature.

Many of us reach for our phones before we even get out of bed. This weekend invites you to step away from constant stimulation, spend time in nature, and explore reducing overstimulation from our daily lives also known as dopamine detox through simple experiences, reflection, and practical tools you can continue using in daily life.

Experience five days of adventure in nature – explore the forest and meadows together, try out camp life, and cook your own meals over the fire. Experience a sense of community – each day brings a new adventurous challenge. Excitement, fun, and learning – ideal for children aged 8–12.

When we think back to our childhood, we will remember not so much the words that were said, but the experiences so memorable that they stay with us forever! Our Parent-Child Camp during the summer holidays is designed to create the setting for just such a wonderful memory. It is intended for children aged 7–14 and their parents (Mom, Dad, or both). Younger children are of course very welcome too. The minimum age of 7 is simply meant to indicate that from that age, children can take part in absolutely everything “for real.” The camp is limited to a maximum of 30 people. Together, you’ll spend five days in our wilderness camp in the forest with like-minded people, while learning all kinds of wilderness skills, games, and adventures along the way. We spend the evenings around the campfire, telling stories or making music. Anyone who likes may bring their instrument along.
