The Nature and Wilderness Education I training course is based on the ancient knowledge of primitive peoples about living in harmony with nature.

Vision quest
The vision quest is an ancient ritual of self-discovery and transition. Participants spend four days and nights alone and without food in nature. This offers the opportunity to gain clarity on various levels, far away from the daily grind. Inner impulses and desires are recognized and personal strengths are awakened. There are many reasons to go on a vision quest - be it to gain clarity about the direction of the next step, to follow the inner impulse "there is more" or simply to consciously shape your life.
The vision quest comprises a preparation time, a solo time and a follow-up time and lasts a total of 10 days.
