For my extension, I'm doing a year-long course with Bosbeweging, a Dutch organisation focused on rewilding and rebuilding our connection with nature. They teach (or re-teach) ancient human skills we've forgotten: the language of the forest, how to craft what you need from your surroundings, and how to live as part of a tribe alongside other participants.
Goals
I'm drawn to this because I believe humanity, especially in the Western world, has lost its ties to nature. We've lost our roots. I want to reconnect with the earth. I think many of the world's problems could be addressed by tuning into this natural field, and I believe it has a lot to teach us. This course is one of my first steps toward that reconnection.
(Beneficial) outcomes
My bigger dream is to eventually build a place where my family, friends, and loved ones can live in a more connected, natural way.
Location
Every month, we head to different locations in nature across the Netherlands.
Duration
One year, with long weekends in nature each month.
