This simple and ancient practice reconnects us deeply to self and to the living world around. Sometimes also experienced as a Rite of Passage,or a Vision Quest, spending time alone in nature connects us deeply to knowledge beyond our own. For whatever intention it may want to be lived, this practice has not lost the gifts it holds for humanity and nature alike. To dwell on the land alone in reverence is a beautiful remembering of our profound humanness.<\/p>\n<p>We believe in the healing properties of place, of nature, and the power of our individual relationships to both. This relationship has become ever more vital over the last months, and will be, for those that are yet to come.<br \/>\nWhat can our relationship to our place reveal to us, what messages does the land around us hold for us? Which layers of our beings want to be shed? Which new ways want to emerge in our lives? What does the land have to communicate with us that has laid dormant in our psyches and that we cannot find alone?<\/p>\n<p><em>Join us in uncovering the medicine and the new stories it brings.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We will guide you through a 4 week process, where we will prepare you , and accompany you in a threshold ritual (which you will hold in your own surroundings). During your journey, the mirror of nature and the heart of the community will guide you towards more clarity and insight. We will support you in connecting more deeply to the natural world around you. You will be joined by other members of a small community to enhance your learnings, and supported by three experienced guides to assist you along the way.<\/p>\n<p>This is a deeply connective and revealing process which can be engaged for any life event \/ enquiry \/ challenge or gift that wants to be lived.\u00a0This is essential medicine for surreal times.<\/p>\n<p><b>The 4 week process entails:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5 online meetings on Zoom (sharing circles, rituals, input on Deep Ecology, the tradition of Rites of Passages and the 4 Shields Model of Human Nature)<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\">4 meetings with your personal buddy to support each other throughout the process<\/span><\/li>\n<li>A range of nature connection and Deep Ecology practices for you to do at home<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\">Access to a Trello board with shared resources and practices<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\">An optional Signal group with all participants and facilitators to stay connected and support each other throughout the process<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\">Preparation of and guidance towards your one day Earth Solo Experience in a wild place close to your home<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">One-to-one support session with a trained guide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Flow of the Earth Solo Experience<i>:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql\">\n<p><em>Our intention is to create a community that will enter this process together, and be supported throughout the journey.

Out of this, Chamai came into existence: a nature-based learning centre in Belgium, where she offers residential workshops and experiential journeys in and with Nature.<\/div>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql\">\n<p>In her work, she always interweaves the power of ceremony with her soulful love for nature and people.

She has completed Nature Resonance trainings, a fellowship in Spiritual Ecology, and holds certification in both Eco-Therapy and Solo Nature Experiences.
