Get back to your terrestrial nature!
Biking in the rain will never be the same again!
[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″]

What does “being Terrestrial” mean to you?
Walking on the ground, breathing air, sharing this planet with innumerable other beings…
How does planet Earth affect you, through the seasons, atmospheric agents, temperature?

Ecopsychology aims to restore our connection with nature, to enhance our sense of belonging and well-being in the environment, to develop a biosphere consciousness which is every day more and more necessary because of the climate changes and the heavy footprint we leave on Earth.

After a gloomy August, the real Autumn is coming.
Don’t miss the chance to prepare body and mind!
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to experience natural environment in and around our cities, with new senses, new awareness, but ancient emotions deeply carved in our being human.

Through indoors and outdoors activities, we will relearn to use our senses, explore our emotional link with the environment, retune in with the seasons. In the challenging Dutch weather, you’ll be able to feel the power of a gloomy winter sky, enjoy the rain and be part of our wonderful house: planet Earth!

Time Travel: Introduction to Ecopsychology
The first meeting is an amazing time travel to introduce ecopsychology and understand our changed relationship with nature, through important milestones of western culture, philosophy, art and psychology.
As first new approach to nature, we will experience mindfulness to perceive the “here and now” of the beautiful landscape.

Space Travel: Terrestrials
Through the eyes of an explorer from another planet, we will make a journey from the fringes of the Milky Way to our home, to see that we are made of the same matter of stars.
Let’s find again the connection with our planet to feel ourselves as part of the biosphere and ecosphere, animals among other animals with which we share the environment (macroperspective) from the very amino acids we are made of (microperspective).

A planet’s wisdom
Feelings are natural and innate. They derive from nature, they are made of the same substance and spirit of the life force. Let’s see what an emotion is, how it is mirrored in natural happenings and how we can use the environment as therapy.
We will deepen an element so important in the Netherlands: water.
A rainy day will never be the same again to you.

Land art – A gift to our home
Use nature to create art, explore your creativity and let your connection with the Earth lead you to make a gift to the planet.
While we use our hands and eyes, we will experience a fusion of nature and human sounds to involve all our sense!
