TRUTH Living - Peacemakers COACHING
Highlights
A few impressions to give you a feel for this class.
About this Class
It is very important to us to bring the legacy of our mentor Jon Young and the Peacemakers of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) into the world as well as we can.
Since 2005, when the story of the Great Peace first came to us, we have been gaining an ever clearer understanding of the gifts of the Peacemakers. Now the time has come for us to pass on our experiences.
Our goal is for more and more people to find their inner peace again and unfold their true potential. And in doing so, to radiate peace from within. This creates a respectful environment that continues to spread. That is how it was when our ancestors first set foot on American soil.
This training is our contribution to bringing this field of connectedness—with everything that lives—back into awareness - With TRUTHFUL Thinking - Speaking - Acting, a peaceful culture emerges. This is the Earth's fundamental vibration.
The message is simple:
Peace is our birthright
Choose your best words
Unity
Set and maintain boundaries
Health
All it takes is your desire and a little practice, and the memory quickly returns of how beautiful this field feels. You become a “lighthouse” and an invitation for others to follow this honest path too—Truth Living. In this way, you pass on the simple principles of respectful interaction in everyday life.
Would you like to experience this?
During the 9 months of training, you will learn how we create this field of peace together and how you can sustain it for yourself.
Available dates
There are currently no upcoming dates for this class. However, you can express your interest in future events by putting yourself on the waiting list.

You can deepen this with the 5 KEYS to PEACE learning program.<\/strong><\/p>
You will manifest your direction and goals during the weekend Unfolding Potential with Firewalking (walking across the embers on Saturday is optional)<\/strong><\/p>
The quiet time of the winter months is ideal for letting your direction take effect and immersing yourself in the peace of nature. You will see the Christmas season with different eyes and can use the Rauhnächte (Twelve Nights) to focus on your direction.<\/p>
In the following months, you will engage intensively with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Peace. We will support you online, and you will be in exchange with the group.<\/p>
During an online weekend, we will share our approach to what we call Peace-Making Communication. This helps you send out again what you want to achieve. This was already a topic during the firewalking weekend.<\/p>
To conclude, we will meet in person again<\/strong>
Focus areas: Togetherness, rituals, ceremonies, language, presenting a project, closing ceremony<\/p>
OPTIONAL: Summer Solstice Celebration <\/strong>\/ Krut near Pfaffing
Friday to Sunday<\/p>
There, you can deepen your experiences and find like-minded people.

Reviews
WildNet.Earth Review Policy
Each rating result ranges from 1 to 10. The overall rating for a class is calculated by adding up all the ratings submitted and dividing them by the number of ratings. We use a weighted system: more recent ratings have a greater influence on the overall result.
Participants can also submit sub-ratings for important class areas – such as organizer communication, class management, content & learning progress, procedure & implementation, venue, catering, and accommodation. Sub-ratings and overall ratings are assigned independently of each other and are not necessarily directly related.
Participants can submit a review if they have taken part in a class via WildNet.Earth – even if they have not completed the class in full. In addition, participants can verify themselves and also write reviews even if they have not booked via WildNet.Earth. Changes to reviews that have already been submitted can only be made via WildNet customer service.
To prevent bias, WildNet.Earth uses processes that identify fake or unreliable reviews. Such content will be deleted and measures may be taken against those responsible. Suspicious posts can be reported to customer service by anyone at any time.
We publish both positive and negative reviews, unless they contain or refer to:
- Politically sensitive content
- Advertising
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive data (e.g., phone numbers, email addresses)
- Insults, obscene language, sexualized content, hate speech, discrimination, threats, or violence
- Spam or obviously fake content
- Identity theft
- Any violation of our rating guidelines
Guidelines and standards for reviews
These guidelines ensure that reviews on WildNet.Earth remain relevant, fair, and respectful—without restricting freedom of expression.
Contributions should have a clear connection to the class or experience and help other participants make an informed decision. Personal attacks, religious or political statements, advertising, or support requests (to the organizer or WildNet.Earth) do not belong in reviews and will be removed.
Posts must be suitable for a global audience. Obscenities (even in creative writing) and content that contains hate, discrimination, violence, sexual depictions, or illegal activities are not permitted.
All content must be authentic, independent, and unbiased. Organizers and their partners may not create reviews on behalf of their participants or offer incentives for reviews. Attempts at manipulation (e.g., negative reviews against other organizers) will not be tolerated.
Personal data of third parties may not be published. Copyrights must be observed—published content, especially images, may only be used if the corresponding rights have been obtained.
The opinions expressed are solely those of participants and class providers. WildNet.Earth accepts no liability for reviews or responses. WildNet.Earth acts as a distributor, not as a publisher of content.
Reviews are sorted according to recency and other relevance criteria (e.g., language, reviews with text, etc.). Additional sorting options may be available.

About the Organizer
Wildnisschule Chiemgau
When people of all ages and from all professions are happy to come back, then we’re doing something right. Our offerings are wide-ranging. They cover everything from wilderness survival skills and crafts to personal potential development.
Dirk’s experience from his visits to Indigenous cultures on different continents confirms the knowledge that has come to us through Stalking Wolf via Tom Brown Jr., his first student Jon Young, and others.
We support YOU in finding your roots by reconnecting with nature—connection with nature is healing.
Our philosophy
With our modern technology, we have moved far away from nature, and thus from ourselves. Our aim is to reconnect people with nature through our offerings and thereby awaken the vitality and potential of each individual. Our team consists of wilderness educators and has now grown into a broad network. Some of them now offer their own courses.
We present all of this on this website.
Wildnisschule-Chiemgau was founded by Dirk Schröder in 2005 and later converted into an association. Since then, various areas have been added—Wildnis2Go, our mobile division; Unity-in-Peace, the PeaceMakers Academy; and Elementar-Erfahrungen, our offerings for personal potential development.
Togetherness is the way forward
With this in mind, we are building a large, growing network of trained wilderness educators with a vision: to bring wilderness knowledge to every kindergarten, every school, every business, and every family.
“I know nature, I know the paths. I know where I’m going. I can never really get lost.”
Says Tippi Degré (10 years old). She grew up in Namibia with the San (Bushmen) and Himba.
Life in the open air, direct contact with nature, and the knowledge of Indigenous peoples draw people of all generations to us in the Chiemgau region, from far beyond the borders of Bavaria. Together, we are creating a new cultural space based on time-tested values. It is the foundation for peaceful coexistence—strong networks of peace.
Many elements of our approach to education come from the millennia-old practices of traditional cultures:
Natural learning across generations
Being together—circle culture
Experiencing powerful rituals
Core routines as “tools” for everyday life
The PeaceMakers principles as a foundation for peace
At the heart of our approach to education is:
Coyote teaching, as we call the traditional way of supporting people as they grow.
As mentors, we guide attention, spark curiosity, support course participants’ interests, and deepen their learning through an unobtrusive presence.
“Learning happens this way ‘on the side,’ almost unnoticed.”
Dirk Schröder
What is natural learning?
Neurobiologist Dr. Gerald Hüther and other scientists have long confirmed that joyful curiosity and the opportunity to experience things for oneself are prerequisites for learned material to be stored long term. Learning happens this way as a natural part of the experience. Among other things, our role as mentors is to spark participants’ curiosity and ensure that the peaceful atmosphere in camp is maintained with plenty of joy.
Circle culture and PeaceMakers principles as a foundation
We live the way of the circle, making respectful, appreciative interaction tangible again. This has always been the foundation that supports us securely. The Lipan Apache Manitonquat and his wife Elika spent many years reminding people of this ancient knowledge in their courses—knowledge that was also practiced here in Europe.
The essential elements of circle culture are:
Speaking truthfully
Listening with empathy
Letting one another finish speaking
Holding what is shared with respect
Rather than being delegated from above, tasks are brought to the circle
Finding and implementing the best possible solution together
Learn more in the conversation with Robert Förg, a participant in the first wilderness education training program. He introduced these simple principles to his team and improved its efficiency. Stefan Gaffner, another participant, put them into practice with his employees at the bank. You can find the conversations on our YouTube channel.
The PeaceMakers principles were passed on to us by the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois):
Everyone has a fundamental right to peace
I speak my best words
Make decisions by consensus / Unity
We explicitly explore the following topics for the present day:
Respecting, maintaining, and setting boundaries
Health for body, mind, and spirit
Wenn Menschen jeden Alters und jeder Berufssparte gerne wiederkommen, dann machen wir etwas richtig. Unsere Angebote sind breit gefächert. Sie bieten von den Überlebenstechniken in der Natur, dem Handwerk bis zur Potentialentfaltung ein breites Specktrum.
Dirks Erfahrung von seinen Besuchen bei Nativen Kulturen auf verschiedenen Kontinenten bestätigen das Wissen, welches durch Stalking Wolf über Tom Brown jr., seinem 1. Schüler Jon Young und weiteren zu uns gekommen ist.
Wir unterstützen DICH darin, dass Du Deine Wurzeln findest, in der Rückverbindung mit der Natur - Naturverbindung ist Heilung.
Unsere Philosophie
Durch unsere moderne Technik haben wir uns weit davon entfernt und damit auch von uns. Unser Anliegen ist es, dass wir Menschen mit unseren Angeboten wieder mit der Natur verbinden und damit die Lebendigkeit und das Potenzial jedes Einzelnen wecken. Unser Team besteht aus Wildnispädagogen*innen und bildet inzwischen ein weites Netzwerk. Einige bieten inzwischen ihre eigene Kurse an.
All dies stellen wir auf dieser Internetseite vor.
Die Wildnisschule-Chiemgau wurde 2005 von Dirk Schröder gegründet und später in einen Verein umgewandelt. Seitdem sind verschiedene Bereiche hinzu gekommen – Wildnis2Go, unser mobiler Bereich – Unity-in-Peace, die FriedensStifter Akademie – Elementar-Erfahrungen, unsere Angebote für Potenzialentfaltung.
Miteinander ist der neue Weg
In dem Sinne bilden wir ein großes wachsendes Netzwerk der ausgebildeten Wildnispädagog/innen mit der Vision: wir tragen das Wildniswissen in jeden Kindergarten, jede Schule, jedes Unternehmen, in jede Familie.
“Ich kenne die Natur, ich kenne die Wege. Ich weiß, wohin ich gehe. Ich kann mich wirklich niemals verlaufen.”
Sagt Tippi Degré (10 Jahre). Sie ist in Namibia mit den San (Buschleuten) und Himba aufgewachsen.
Das Leben unter freiem Himmel, der direkte Kontakt mit der Natur und das Wissen der Naturvölker locken Menschen aller Generationen auch weit über die Grenzen Bayerns hinaus zu uns ins Chiemgau. Wir kreieren zusammen einen neuen Kulturraum, der auf alt bewährten Werten beruht. Es ist die Basis für ein friedvolles Miteinander - tragfähige Netzwerke des Friedens.
Viele Elemente unserer Pädagogik entstammen der Jahrtausende alten Praxis ursprünglicher Kulturen:
Generationen übergreifendes natürliches Lernen
Im Miteinander sein – Kreiskultur
kraftvolle Rituale erleben
Kernroutinen als “Werkzeuge” für den Alltag
Die FriedensStifter-Prinzipien als Basis für Frieden
Im Mittelpunkt unserer Pädagogik steht:
das Coyoteteaching, wie wir die ursprüngliche Art Menschen im Wachsen zu unterstützen, bezeichnen.
Als Mentoren lenken wir die Aufmerksamkeit, wecken Neugierde, unterstützen die Interessen der Kursteilnehmer/innen und vertiefen das durch unsichtbares Begleiten.
"Lernen findet auf diese Weise „nebenbei“, fast unbemerkt statt."
Dirk Schröder
Was ist natürliches Lernen?
Der Neurobiologe Dr. Gerald Hüther und andere Wissenschaftler haben längst bestätigt, dass freudvolle Neugierde und die Möglichkeit, Dinge selbst zu erfahren, die Voraussetzung dafür sind, dass das Erlernte langfristig abgespeichert wird. Lernen geschieht auf diese Weise nebenbei. Unsere Aufgabe als Mentor/innen ist es unter anderem, Neugierde bei den Teilnehmer/innen zu wecken und darauf zu achten, dass die friedvolle Atmosphäre im Camp mit viel Freude erhalten bleibt.
Kreiskultur und FriedensStifter-Prinzipen als Basis
Wir leben den Weg des Kreises und machen damit ein respektvolles, wertschätzendes Miteinander wieder erfahrbar. Dies war immer schon die Basis, die uns sicher trägt. Der Lipan Apache Manitonquat und seine Frau Elika haben über viele Jahre in ihren Kursen an dieses alte Wissen erinnert, welches auch hier bei uns in Europa gelebt wurde.
Die wesentlichen Elemente der Kreiskultur sind:
Wahres Sprechen
Empathisch Hinhören
Einander Ausreden lassen
Gesprochenens respektvoll hüten
Aufgaben werden statt von oben delegiert, in den Kreis gegeben
Die bestmögliche Lösung wird gemeinsam gefunden und umgesetzt
Mehr dazu im Gespräch mit Robert Förg, einem Teilnehmer aus der ersten Ausbildung Wildnispädagogik. Er hat diese einfachen Prinzipien in seinem Team eingeführt und die Effizienz verbessert. Stefan Gaffner, ein anderer Teilnehmer, hat diese bei seinen Mitarbeitern in der Bank umgesetzt. Du findest die Gespräche auf unserem YouTube Kanal.
Die FriedensStifter-Prinzipien wurde uns von den Haudenosaunee (Irokesen) übertragen:
Jeder hat ein Grundrecht auf Frieden
Ich spreche meine besten Worte
Treffe Entscheidungen in Einigkeit / Unity
Wir vertiefen explizit folgende Themen für die heutige Zeit:
Grenzen respektieren, hüten, setzen
Gesundheit für Körper, Geist und Seele
