Generationell Navigering - En Vandringsfärd

■ Swedish Mountain Experience ■ Nomadic Walking Journey ■ Bush Craft & Traditional skills ■ Fire making ■ Nature Connection and Observation ■ Navigating in the wild ■ Personal & Group Inquiry ■ Creative excercises 

10 – 17 August 2024, Jämtland, Sweden

On this journey we engage with cross-generational connection as we explore how our current life phase offers unique qualities in relation to ourselves, others, and Earth. Join us from August 10-17 for a walking journey into the vast-stretching fells where the ancient, rolling mountains of mid-Sweden guide our way.

  • What does it mean to belong to this Earth today? How am I being called to participate? What qualities is my current stage in life giving me? How do I stand in relation and engage with other generations? What does it mean to truly listen? These are some of the questions we will be working with throughout the journey. 

For 6 days we will roam the southern fells of Åre county in Jämtland, which have been home to Sámi people for thousands of years and today hosts a multifaceted blend of people. On this journey, we will be working with different aspects of life-phases and the enriching potential of generational exchange. Through meeting the ancientness of this land read more...

 – practising outdoor living skills such as varying ways of fire making, navigation and working with natural materials – observing and reading the land and the elements – engaging with local stories – group conversation – creative exercises – and personal exploration – we will explore and learn of our own ancient connection, relationship and responsibility to this Earth, how these can evolve throughout our lives, and how every life phase offers chances to discover both ourselves and the world anew  – so to welcome this as a grounding foundation and support in our lives.

This journey combines skill-based learning with personal inquiry and, through this, guide you to step into active participation with the ever-interwoven physical outer journey and the often more hidden inner journey of the soul.

Facilitated by Inte Koster, Lief Cuyvers, and Anna Brunain. A cooperation between Homebound Journeys, De Zomereik, and Mannaz.

 There are several ways to get to Undersåker from Western Europe (we use Belgium as example below, but can be fairly easily adjusted to your destination of departure). Beneath we’ll show you the four options that we have tried ourselves and define as comfortable. If you want more information on either one of them or you want us to book/plan your journey (+ €60,-), let us know in your application.
Overall, we highly recommend to travel over land and sea for several reasons: A longer journey gives you the chance to acclimatise in both directions. Give yourself the experience of a night on a ferry or a train and give your money to the more sustainable ways of travelling if possible. 

1)  Car (+bridge/ferry) = 25h (driving hours without stops) +- €400

Biggest pro is flexibility: both routes, intensity and duration are adjustable to your own needs/wishes

2) Freight ship + car = 44h (33h on the ship, 11h driving hours without stops) +- €700

Best option if you don’t like driving in Western-Europe and want to give yourself an extra moment to relax to start and end your journey with.

Route: Ghent Harbour (Belgium) – Gothenburg Harbour (Sweden)/Brevik Harbour (Norway) – Sweden -> Undersåker

3)  Train = 34h +- €350

This option offers sustainability on many levels: we think it balances quite well between the money, time and energy you invest and what it asks from our planet. 

Route: Brussels – Cologne – Hamburg (night train) – Stockholm – Undersåker

4)  (train+) Plane + train = 5-20h (depending on connections) +- €300-600

Always the fastest option and in that way more comfortable if you don’t have or see a possibility to spend more time travelling up here.
