RETREAT PROGRAM
The program is based on four key elements
Immersing in Nature
How can we take stewardship for preserving and regenerating such rare places of wild nature?
We will explore lush green landscapes, embark on guided nature walks, and experience the serenity that only nature can provide. This immersion will help us reconnect with our inner nature and gain fresh perspectives on pressing questions.

Cultural Exchange
Which thread do you bring to the gathering?
The Huni Kuin women will allow us insights into their ancient traditions, spiritual rituals, and sustainable way of life. By sharing stories, dances, and music, we will deepen our understanding of their rich cultural heritage and strengthen our appreciation for the interconnectedness of all life. We wish to weave together multiple threads for co-creating projects for a liveable future.
Dialogue & Process Work
What is essential in your life?
Engaging in open dialogues with the Huni Kuin women and fellow participants, we will explore the pressing issues of our time, such as environmental conservation, indigenous rights, and conscious social impact investing. Immersive experiences will inspire insights into how these aspects are interconnected and reveal approaches to address these challenges.
