SUMMARY:International Vision Quest | Findhorn Scotland
DESCRIPTION:Late summer Werner Pilz and Natasha Lythgoe will return to Findhorn to guide a quest on behalf of the Eschwege Institut one of the leading guide training institutes in Europe. \nYou can read about our programme at either of these links: \nhttps://eschwege-institut.de/programm/seminare/visionssuche-in-findhorn-schottland-5/\nhttps://www.theartofrewilding.com/events/vision-quest-scotland-uk-2026 \nIf you are interested in eco-somatics we may be a good fit for you. Here is an excerpt from my website about Embodied Animacy. \nThe principle of animism is a way of perceiving and engaging with a living and animate earth\, including all the seen and unseen beings that inhabit it. This alive connection emerges not through abstract thinking but through direct experience – rooted in our direct sensory experience – and a cultivation of reciprocal relationship. This is a participatory way of being\, where humans are just one among many expressive participants in the dynamic\, interconnected fabric of life. \nAnimism is a deeply\, relational way of being in the world\, encouraging us to remember that we are not separate from the natural world\, but are woven into the fabric of life itself. \nGene Gendlin’s Focusing method\, though often seen as a contemporary approach to self-awareness with its origins in psychotherapy and philosophy\, carries a similar invitation. On a very simple level Focusing is a somatic practice\, where we turn our attention inward\, tuning into the subtle\, unspoken language of our bodies. It is through this body-based listening that we find clarity and healing\, accessing wisdom beyond the reach of the mind alone. \nAt first glance\, these two paths might seem worlds apart—one rooted in ancient spiritual traditions\, the other in contemporary therapeutic practice. However\, a closer look reveals their shared essence: both call us to a profound\, deeper listening to life unfolding within and around us. \nSince 2019\, I’ve focused on creating practices that foster embodied relational reciprocity\, drawing on the Focusing method and nature connection. I integrate aspects of this work into the preparation stage for all our vision quests.

SUMMARY:The Big Listen – Germany
DESCRIPTION:We call this retreat\, The Big Listen because we believe that to really listen has magic; listening for the call of the forest and for the myths of our lives\, giving our full attention to ourselves and then not forgetting each other. \nPROGRAMME \nThis programme weaves together Wilderness Practices including The Fours Shields nature-based four directions map\, Way of Council and solo time in nature\, with meditative\, ritual and heart-based practices from the Buddhist tradition. \nAt the heart of this programme lies an invitation to spend time alone with Nature\, and listen. This ‘solo’ will take the form of a Threshold Walk. Inspired by our place within the cycles of nature\, traditional vision quests and ‘nature solos’ have been practiced by many people and cultures across time. Whilst immersed in nature\, ‘listening’ you may receive a gift; the beauty of an insight or the “rapture” of reconnecting with the most authentic and unique currents in your life. \n“ People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive\, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality\, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” \n— Joseph Campbell \nTHIS RETREAT AIMS TO HELP YOU: \n– Develop the ability to make deep\, authentic contact with yourself and others\n– Track the obstacles that keep you ‘refusing your own flowering’\n– Be present to the sensing and feeling body\, beyond the limitations of the rational mind\n– Find a deeper sense of your own belonging. \nA WINDOW ON OUR TIME TOGETHER \nWe’ll begin each morning with mindful practices. Mid-mornings will be set aside for soulful storytelling\, making time to listen to what has purchase on our hearts\, using the Way of Council model. \nThe afternoons will involve nature-based practices that support contemplative self-reflection\, inviting a deeper conversation between our most authentic selves and the wisdom found in nature. \nThe evenings will be set aside for integrating the threads of our days through creative exercises that might include dancing\, walking with the full moon and sitting around a fire under the stars.. \nGuides: Natasha Lythgoe and Werner Pilz
