Nature As the Classroom and the teacher
In our classroom, the ceiling is high. A room for insight as well as out-sight. It's where you can develop your transformative abilities through experiences that will impact you deeply. Immersive nature experiences provide the extraordinary possibility to calibrate the inner compass and establish a deeper understanding of your inner self and a more profound sense of interconnectedness with the natural world. It opens up an experience of a deep relationship with the natural world, which can enrich one’s life and others and give a deeper understanding of Nature as a whole.
Nature as the Teacher provides opportunities for deep, immersive, and transformational learning experiences based on life-generative principles. Nature wants us to act as servants for life and connect from a place of awareness and relationships by reconnecting in gratitude to the beauty of our inner, outer, and true nature. Listening to our inner compass allows us to make decisions from that inner place and good judgment that stands the test of time for all life’s benefit. Our program aims to reset the participants' natural "source code" by deep-diving into the transformative power of practising nature-based leadership.
Methods that stood the test of time
The methods result from teachings and training from world-leading scientists, world-class management and leadership gurus, as well as wisdom keepers, spiritual leaders, indigenous trackers, and experienced wilderness and mountain guides. It is about values and attitudes, everyday wisdom in practice practices used by people who depend on it for sustaining their life and community. Nature Based Leadership means, for example:
- To cultivate our hearts and minds of what is true, right, and lasting - wisdom displayed in “gratitude.”
- To lead by sensing deep—picking up the weakest signals from the outside and inside world—sensing!
- To lead on the brink of chaos when you face the unpredictable - grounding!
- To lead by making the journey yourself with others, not just pointing out the way - the skin in the game!
- The lead by the courage and wisdom to admit that, as a leader, I do not know the way and to invite others' perspectives - the beginner's mind!
- To guide others and practice with integrity and vision - The Twelve Guiding Principes.
- To respect, connect, reflect and direct. Lead by Nature!
Nature-Based Leadership
Our program, a fusion of new discoveries and timeless wisdom, holds the key to overcoming the trials of our era. It's a journey of self-empowerment, equipping us to boldly confront an uncertain future and deftly navigate its complexities. We're eager to share these transformative methods with those who seek a profound connection with their inner, outer, and true nature-a connection that's not just a luxury, but a necessity in our modern world.
Our deep code has been continuously refined through evolution for survival, adaptation and renewal. It is the competence that helped us to develop and spread as a species. But with the speed at which we have evolved in our modern society, we have moved further and further away from the source code we all depend on for prosperity and long-term survival.
Systems awareness is the embodied recognition that the world is a coherent, integrated whole rather than a collection of individual elements.
Ecological literacy and system awareness are life necessities and urgent calls to action. They imply a systems understanding that we are all part of and dependent on the biosphere and its diversity. This defines the complex, dynamic network we call our home, our beautiful living world. Your understanding and action are crucial, and it's about cultivating the ability:
- to "read the book of Nature"!
- to stand firm and "grounded" and act quickly and easily in deep presence!
- to note and act on the weakest signals with finely honed perception!
- to free ourselves from the illusion of predictability!
- to act with laser-focused clarity from moment to moment!
- to be open, aware, and responsive!

The Quality of the Pathfinder
Guiding individuals toward deep inner transformation and reconnection to nature requires a specific set of qualities, abilities, and character traits. As a WiLD Pathfinder, you should embody these key attributes :
- Deep empathy and compassion to understand and connect with individuals on their transformative journey. This emotional intelligence allows the guide to offer genuine support and guidance.
- Wisdom and insight gained from personal experiences and spiritual practices enable the guide to provide valuable perspectives, facilitate growth, and inspire contemplation.
- Being patient and present to create a safe and nurturing space for inner exploration. Listening attentively and offering non-judgmental support is crucial for the transformation process.
- To be adaptable and flexible in the approach, recognising that each individual's path to transformation is unique. Being open to adjusting strategies and techniques based on the individual's needs is key.
- Leading reconnection with nature should demonstrate profound respect and appreciation for the natural world. This allows for a deeper connection with the environment and promotes a sense of harmony and balance.
