Wild Moon 2026

Living in clan, exploring native lifeway

Date Wild Moon: 05.07. – 01.08.2026
Location: near Södertälje, SwedenIn the Wild Moon we live as a clan in the wilderness in northern Europe for one whole moon cycle. When we travel we do it by foot, or by canoe. We drink the pure wild water from streams and lakes. Whenever we are hungry we go out on the land, and gather the gifts that the mother provides. We are a clan, and we do everything together. Whenever there is something coming up, we sit together and talk in a circle, and everybody is held in their struggles. While the children go out and collect blueberries, and play with the squirrels, the elders are watching them from afar. Some go fishing, while others prepare food, or return from their explorations, bringing greens, berries and stories. When the sun is low everybody sits around the fire and shares stories while having a big feast! We feel truly at home in the wilderness. We step into the footsteps of our ancestors. And we get a feeling for how it was for them.

Civilization fades away…

The Wild Moon is a very unique wilderness living experience and a special opportunity to dive deep into our connection with nature and our own sense of being human. For a whole moon cycle (28 days) we leave behind our civilized life and step into simplicity and clan-living, immersed into the natural rhythms of life. We will discover how living in nature with a clan creates essential necessities and learn to take care of them, with both hands-on skills like fire by friction, natural navigation, foraging & gathering, animal processing, crafting and social skills like deep nature connection, circle consciousness and truthspeaking. We will come together around the fire, share our meals as well as our inner and outer adventures of the day, deeply listening to ourselves and each other.

This upcoming Wild Moon we want to recreate a natural tribe with all ages. We will explore how to take care of each other across generations. This will allow us to experience ourselves as an important part of the group, in whoever we are. We will learn to experience the land with new eyes and learn to become part of it, increasingly aware and attuned.
 We will learn to listen to nature to meet our needs and find comfort even in the most simple of settings, while supporting each other in facing both physical and mental thresholds along with navigating social challenges.

It doesn’t matter if you want to join with your whole family, with your partner or on your own. Everyone is needed to create this temporary tribe. If you feel called to go on this journey with us, we invite you with all your individual gifts and your unique being to contribute to our adventure. Please check the Application Process on our website to apply. (please send in your applications before March 31st 2026)

We look forward to share this journey with you!

Embedded in a Journey

The Wild Moon is not something where you are thrown into a deeply moving experience and spit out again without support. This is why we will put a focus on embedding the experience in a personal journey.

Before we meet in the forest and spend a whole mooncycle living together, you will have a space to get to know the other participants within an online group.

In this group, we will also send you information and impulses about what may be needed at different stages of the journey, like the diet change, reflections, etc. You will get impulses for connecting with Nature and opening up your senses, and other things to do to get into the space for this possibly very transformative experience.

Coming back into civilization can also be very challenging, so we support you in your re-entry as well through checking in with you, both right after you returned as well as some time after that.

No prior knowledge is needed, but it is very helpful that you have some experience being outside, camping, etc. and feel comfortable with it.

Food will be close to a paleo diet with no sugar, no wheat and only very limited grains like buckwheat or oats (for the children). The main source of energy will come from meat, fish and fat, combined with greens.

The fee for the Wild Moon is composed of different parts: One part are expenses for the Wild Moon itself (such as organic food incl. wild meat, canoe rental, storage room rental, fishing licenses, material for hide tanning and infrastructure, fuel for the car to get food…). The other part covers the money, time and effort we put into the preparation, the formal organization of our association, insurance and more, summarized: The required background work for making Wild Moons possible.We offer staggered tuition fees according to your income, please be honest with yourself about how much you can afford:
