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.

10 – 17 August 2024, Jämtland, Sweden

  • 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.
