Nature Flow & Focus

In Nature Flow & Focus, we use nature as a means to feeling calm and present. We slow down the pace and create space for relaxation and a deep experience of nature.

TIME AND SPACE FOR BODY AND MIND

You get the opportunity to experience how a good connection with nature can affect you. We make use of our senses - we listen, see, feel, smell and maybe even taste. By simply being in the fresh air, breathing fresh oxygen from the trees, feeling moss and roots, enjoying the colors of nature and listening to the sounds of nature and your own breathing, we create a space where thoughts and feelings come flowing. In this class we have enough time to react to them, put them into words and deal with our experiences.

FOCUS ON QUALITY OF LIFE, LIFESTYLE AND LIFE CHOICES

Over the course we are inspired by nature psychology and test activities such as:

  • Nature therapy
  • Hiking
  • Meditation
  • Sauna and winter bathing

We learn about the theory behind nature psychology and put some of the theory into practice. Science tells us that nature can have a good effect on e.g. breathing, blood pressure and our nervous system.

We share our experiences on how the various activities and tools affect us. Based on our experiences, we reflect on our lives and discuss life choices, quality of life and lifestyle. New perspectives often arise along the way and we become more aware of how we would like to make important choices for our lives, health and well-being.

Thea about Nature Focus & Flow

Nature has always had a powerful effect on me. Whether I need to be active or find peace. But in nature, I always experience better conditions for focusing on my body and my mind. My attention and my presence are sharpened, and it gives me a feeling of getting more out of life.

Join us for a trip with lots of nature experiences in French Chamonix, on the Spanish Camino hike or on the Danish Camøno hike.

It's hard to describe what it feels like to be in nature. But in the grand scheme of things, it's probably about belonging and feeling connected to something that is bigger than myself. This often creates very special spaces for reflection alone and together with others.
