Self-Development - Nomadic Wilderness Retreat - Tynset, Norway

SELF-DEVELOPMENT - Responsibility for a World in Upheaval - Nomadic Wilderness Retreat

The major crises facing humanity are worrying you. You sense that the time for change in your life has come, and you want to take responsibility for yourself and your environment. But how can you shape your life according to this purpose? A Wilderness Retreat in Norway allows you to focus on this question. Immersing in unspoiled nature gives you a break from everyday life. Here, we create a space for your self-development and support you in aligning with your life purpose and finding your true place in the world.

A time out from everyday life

Get present for your own development

The retreat in the wilderness of Norway gives you a break from everyday life. Away from it all, you can achieve what normally seems out of reach: to shed your protective layers of civilisation, open up and become present in the here and now. We will carefully guide you through this process.

Body work, sensory and cognitive approaches such as dialogue and group sharing will all be used in a balanced way.

The practice of living in nature, guided exercises, and deliberate shifts into silence and reflection will bring you into contact with yourself, with nature and with the group. As you engage, you will come into resonance with the living world.

Achieve self-efficacy through self-awareness

The power to change in your life

In resonance with your environment, you can delve into what makes you human and how you relate to the world. It’s about realising who you really are and what you live for. We stand by you to explore your dreams and yearnings, as well as to face fear and pain.

We create a space where you can look at your life and work from different perspectives, reflect on your experiences and re-align your priorities.

The self-awareness you gain in the process will give you confidence and enhance your self-efficacy. Through our own experiences and our work as nature mentors, we know what energy this work can unleash. It is this source that empowers you to make a substantial change in your life and to shape it according to your purpose.

Self-development

In responsibility for yourself and the world

The living world as a whole and you as a seemingly separate person are inextricably intertwined. The world offers you every opportunity and it also sets you limits. So the way you unfold as a person is set by the world around you. Conversely, of course, you can also choose your own world to a certain extent, and in any case you can influence it. In fact, it even calls upon you to do so, because it is the subject of needs that want to be met. In the retreat, therefore, we encourage you to explore this question as well: What do you see as your purpose, role and place in the world?

We will help you find ways to live up to your twin responsibilities – to yourself and to the world. The retreat is designed to help you see your life’s purpose more clearly and grow into your mission.

Redirecting your life in a meaningful way will also help you find satisfaction and fulfilment.

The program is inspired by Joanna Macy (Active Hope, The Work that Reconnects), John P. Milton (The Way of Nature), Bill Plotkin (The Journey of Soul Initiation), Hartmut Rosa (Resonance), Otto Scharmer (Theory U), and Jon Young (Connection First).

It is time for change.

Journey of self-discovery:

Exploring the inner and outer wilderness

The retreat is designed as a journey of self-discovery: Your quest will take you into uncharted territory, your “inner wilderness”. This journey into the unknown within will be paralleled in the tangible world outside, for the wilderness camp is nomadic. This means that we will be roaming freely in the great outdoors of Norway, with no set route, agenda or goal in mind. Media, mobile phones and watches are left behind. We take only the essentials: Sleeping bag, tarp and simple food. We draw drinking water from streams and cook over a campfire.

This offering is intended for adults.

Adolescents may attend under the supervision of a responsible adult.

Young people, too, can learn a great deal about how to live their future lives by experiencing a Wilderness Retreat. Whether a wilderness retreat is suitable for young people depends less on age than on personal maturity. This maturity is very individual. We will discuss with the young person beforehand whether they are ready for such a journey of self-development. Simply write a message in the contact form to get started.

No previous outdoor experience is required to be a participant. You do not need to be in good physical shape to do this either. What is important is your willingness to embark on this unusual journey.

A packing list will be provided after booking or on request.

The wilderness camp is nomadic, meaning we’ll move on to new camp sites several times.

We set up our camps each time, looking for new places to sleep, putting up tarps for shelter and rolling out insulating mats and sleeping bags. If necessary, we also put up mosquito nets. Our daily routine includes fetching water for drinking and cooking, collecting firewood, lighting and maintaining a campfire. Of course we also cook on the fire.
