Nature Calling

Reconnect with nature and yourself

DATES ON REQUEST

We are currently going through some very challenging times. Many of us might experience fear, sadness or disorientation. Spending time in nature can help transform these overwhelming feelings.

We are a part of nature

I feel how my whole being engages with nature, recalibrating and re-centring itself. Everything is brought back into HARMONY and ORDER. That what might have been in turmoil becomes calm and clear. The effect is immediate, without the need to do anything specific. Our BODY is a part of NATURE and reacts immediately. Read more...

Nature is just there. It neither expects nor demands anything, nor does it ask to change us. You are WELCOME as you are now. It’s this beauty and simplicity that is so beneficial to our whole organism.

Simplicity

As a highly sensitive, I quickly get into EXCESSIVE DEMAND or EXHAUSTION in certain situations. Nature in its tranquillity and simplicity acts as a balm on the nervous system. Raging thoughts calm down just like a wildly beating heart.

Everything becomes simple and reduced to what is ESSENTIAL. Movement releases tension stored in the body. The beauty of nature brings back JOY while exploring NEW TRAILS stimulate the spirit of adventure.

Stillness

It is essential to immerse oneself in stillness again and again. To walk silently for a while, or to sit quietly by a river. The experience is rather different. Being silent allows you to concentrate on your feelings and sensations. I experience times of stillness as very nurturing and fulfilling.

Unity

Another important aspect is the experience of CONNECTION, which we feel in nature immediately. In the natural world, I never feel separated; but always connected with ALL-THAT-IS. Feelings of loneliness, void or “feeling cut off” are transformed into the innate certainty of being part of the big picture. In nature, I am at home.

Aliveness

It’s about experiencing AWARENESS of the MAGIC OF THE PRESENT MOMENT: The brittle dryness of a rock, the glittering of the sun’s rays on the water, the flight of a bird, the amazement of old giant trees, the smell of freshly cut grass, the smile of another person, the light breeze on your cheek. The conscious perception of such moments is very enriching. You feel fully alive again. JOY OF BEING returns.

Two Examples

I go for a walk in the forest and notice how my thoughts slowly calm down. I feel my breath, the smell of the woods, the ground under my feet. Suddenly I perceive a part of the forest like a big, bright room. The sun is breaking through the canopy of leaves. Bugs are dancing in its ray of light.

Touched by this beauty, I pause. I breathe and feel the energy in every cell of my body. Take in space, the light, the beauty. This can last a few minutes, sometimes much longer. It is these sudden moments of bliss that we receive as gifts from nature.

I sit on the bank of a river or in front of a waterfall. Quietly, I observe the rushing water. With time I feel that something inside me starts relaxing and flowing.

Finally, I become this flowing, this river. I am one with nature. There is some profound healing about this experience of unity.

Itinerary

I kept asking myself why nature makes me feel so good. I realized that it helps me to be in the present moment. That’s the secret and what it all comes down to in the end.

An integral part of Nature Calling is to spend some time in silence, in order to focus more on the inner world. I lead a short guided meditation and offer small exercises in between to help ground us and become aware of our feelings and perceptions. We go with the flow and with what shows up along the way. Further components are music, scents and touch.

We focus on beauty and the simple things. Breathing, walking, taking a break. Sensing and perceiving. Letting go and immersing. Enjoying.
