Wild Earth Wild Soul

A monthly spiritual ecology workshop and gathering

in a wonderful, green oasis in Amsterdam

Spiritual ecology recognizes the urgent need to build a new relationship with the earth. A relationship that is deeply interconnected, sacred and loving. In our monthly gatherings we practice with key ingredients to create an Earth honoring culture. We both tap into ancestral memories and take what is best from current personal development practices and social change movements.  Each monthly workshop is a short retreat in which we immerse in nature, meditate, create rituals and ceremonies, do different movement practices and - last but not least - celebrate through singing, dancing, and art making...

Our purpose: spreading the seeds of an 'eco-ecstatic culture'. To us this means living in tune with nature, and from there, giving space to our unique expressions and gifts.

We facilitate these afternoons with great care and welcome you to share your input as well. Every gathering looks to move beyond our everyday consensus reality. Curious? Come and join us in exploring the wilderness in- and outside us.
