Events

The 3rd Nature Campus will also feature a number of exciting lectures—details will be announced soon!

On Saturday and Sunday, you can attend one of the following workshops each day. You will make your selection after registration via the provided form.

"Teambuilding in Nature" with Andreas Schwab

Many exercises from forest bathing, nature mindfulness training, and nature resilience training are well-suited to making teambuilding experiences engaging and playful.

Andreas regularly designs team-building days in nature for companies, government agencies, and organizations. Well-known exercises from nature trainer training are placed in a new context, combined with mindfulness in communication, and include a team game that can stir up emotions. In this workshop, you will learn about the methods and design options for such team-building days, participate in the team game, and experience and reflect on individual exercise sequences.

"Herb Cuisine" with Mirjam Cott

In this workshop, we will learn how to identify herbs in the forest and meadows—based on botanical details, folk traditions, and insights from experiential medicine. We will harvest together, cook, and bake with these green friends, as the Greek physician Hippocrates of Cos said, "Let food be thy medicine."

After studying languages and a long career in office work—marketing and communication in an opera house—Mirjam heard the call of nature and followed it. Through work in a perennial nursery, she discovered wild herbs and found her calling: to reconnect people with nature, reminding them which herbs serve as food and which as medicine. With this knowledge, we empower ourselves to lead a more independent and healthier life.

"Exercises and Nature Content for Corporate Health Management" with Uwe Bernhardt

The more successful a company is at involving all organizational levels in health management, the greater the motivational effects and solution-oriented actions that positively impact the organization and authorities.

This approach not only reduces absenteeism but also leads to a lasting positive change in participants' attitudes towards their work and health. This workshop focuses on utilizing nature-based methods that promote resilience.

For Uwe Bernhardt, coaching has long been a path to effectively address and implement changes. "Key experiences" with Saar Alpaka and the German Academy for Forest Bathing and Health led him to a unique exploration of nature and animal themes, combined with his human resources topics.

"Experiencing the Resilient Power of Nature to Strengthen Life Balance" with Bea von Borcke and Carola Bambas

The relaxing and soothing atmosphere of nature helps us face ourselves and our current challenges. It acts as a mirror, reflecting our beliefs, emotions, blockages, and attitudes.

Through its vivid language and analogies, nature inspires creative and solution-oriented thinking processes and promotes purposeful action. It teaches us to stay optimistic and accept things we cannot change.

In this workshop, you will gain initial insights into how resilience can be practiced and how joyful ease can be experienced through nature. This will help us achieve balance and broaden our horizons.

Carola Bambas has been leading groups and seminars for 15 years and conducting training courses. She joined the German Academy for Forest Bathing and Health (DAWG) in 2020 and has been active as a trainer since 2023. As a coach for potential development, the theater educator and forest bathing trainer brings a wealth of experience.

Bea von Borcke is a conceptualist, nature and business coach, and works with the DAWG to develop resilience concepts in natural settings. She is dedicated to empowering people to boldly and enthusiastically explore new paths for more ease and joy in both their daily lives and careers.
