One-day individual Intensive out in Nature *

Background

In heart-centered, trauma-sensitive Nature Therapy, you are at the center. It is your space. Your time. Your opportunity to truly be yourself. For you are exactly right just as you are — otherwise, you could not have survived. There is a good reason why you have become who you are. And you are allowed to be exactly that way, without me wanting to change, fix, or rescue you. For when everything is allowed to be as it is, we no longer hold it captive, and it can transform. The constant battle against the aspects of ourselves that bother us keeps them alive, because we are giving them our attention. Yet what actually needs our attention are the adaptations upon which we have built our identity — for it is these that cause our suffering.

What we are going to do

We will walk about 11 km together. Physical activity helps break down stress hormones and shifts us out of “fight-or-flight” mode into our bodies. You can come with a specific issue in mind, or we can work together to identify your true goal. We will then explore — ideally using real-life events and situations — what is standing in the way of achieving that goal, unravel your underlying internal dynamics,and incorporate both your body and emotions into the process. Finally, we will look at how you can face these internal dynamics.

How and where it is going to take place

We will meet in Zwingenberg (Baden) and visit beautiful, idyllic spots in nature. Alternatively, a different location might be chosen depending on the circumstances. Shortly after starting, we will sit down in a meadow and delve into your topic. Then, we will set off on a walk while continuing our conversation. As we walk, the true nature of the issue — or aspects we might have previously overlooked — will become clear; we will then address these points again in a meadow shortly before the end. Finally, we will see if everything feels right to you and ensure you are satisfied with the day.

Please do not schedule anything else for this day and allow yourself time afterwards to integrate your experiences without distractions.
