We have integrated surprising scientific evidence on the benefits of nature immersion for i. e. restoration, attention, emotional balance, self awareness and creative problem solving as well as ancient (forgotten) wisdom practices to spark your learning and growth.
Here are a few examples:
Restorative effects of natural environments and beings - Mindfulness with Nature
Sitting outside and listening to bird singing has proven to more effective for your focus and attention than using specific meditation apps. Focus and attention training is foundational for your ability to navigate effectively in work and life and for developing Emotional Intelligence. You’ll get to first hand experience how powerfull practicing mindfulness with nature is!
Self awareness - Sensing and biomimicing
Ever heard of the concept of inner and outer nature? It’s about sharpening our senses and experience of how symbols, energies and systems in nature (outer) can enlighten us about ourselves (self-awareness/inner nature). Self awareness is the foundational skill in Emotional Intelligence and we immerse ourselves in nature and tune our sense to start noting what the outer nature can tells us about ourselves. We call it the DiSC analysis by nature.
Envisioning - Mini Quest
To un- or rediscover you true value driven motivations and your desired envisioned future life, you’ll get to experience what indigenous people did when they went on vision quests. In doing so we pay tribute to the borrowed land, beings and elements on and from which we seek answers and the original people whose practices we respect and honor.
(Self) compassion training - connecting with wholeness
By activating our 7 senses with natural phenomenon and beings, we can train our ability to empathize and respond with compassion to people in distress. Science indicates that responding with compassion is far more effective than responding with sympathy and research also suggest that connecting with natural phenomenon and beings produces a state of awe, humility and respect.
