Some nice moments from our Eco-living and wilderness skills retreat.

Wow, the Personal Journeys Eco-living retreat was such a blast. We were blessed to have such a nice group of people of all ages bringing their personal stories to the Jurtendorf. We worked on our eco-living designs inviting different elements into our lives. Some of us needed more fire in our lives, others wanted to be more grounded or invited the wind or the water to be more part of their journeys.

We all learned basic survival skills like orientation, making a fire and building a shelter under difficult circumstances. In the evening we enjoyed wonderful cooking by the Jurentdorf chefs and dived into the sauna and freezing cold river afterwards.
There will be more pictures and small interviews posted here over the coming days. Stay tuned for our dates of upcoming retreats!

Learning how to navigate with compass and map can be a powerful metafor in our life. Defining what is our true north and how to make choices in life based on this anchor point is part of the Personal Journeys Eco-living retreat. When we learn how to navigate in the forrest we learn how to navigate in life.

Here's Madelon Evers with a nice intro about why she works with nature and how she approaches her gentle guiding to help people slow down and reconnect with their inner nature. That's what we'll be doing in October at our Swiss Personal Journeys Eco-living retreat.

Foraging the food from the forrest is a real joy. It creates an intimate bond with nature and creates a new awareness of the gifts nature has to offer. During the Personal Journeys Eco-living retreat we will be harvesting what we will find during our hikes to add to the delicious dinners back at the Jurtendorf.

If you have made a fire in the rain you know making fire without matches or lighter is an essential skill in a survival situation. During the Personal Journeys Personal Journeys Eco-living retreat we will learn this and other practical skills for being in the outdoors from Wilderness guide Alexander Nieuwenhuis. This part of the training is meant not only as a practical skill. But making little woodcurls for extended periods of time can even be a meditative activity.

The retreat near Luzern is filling up to capacity but there is are still a couple of tickets left. Check the event for tickets
