Join us for the modern-day Nature Quest, a unique opportunity to connect more deeply with yourself and the more-than-human world, in the wild and beautiful natural surroundings of Catalunya. This is an embodied experience grounded in the principles of Cultural Emergence, underpinned by the Eight Shields model of connection.
The Calling
This is a call to those longing for a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, a stronger connection to the web of life, and a renewed sense of aliveness. The Nature Quest offers a chance to awaken your full capacity as a human being—tuning into your senses to experience deep presence and awareness, leading to personal peace and conscious action. We call this everyday spirituality.
Come and step beyond the familiar and into a space of emergence, returning with greater clarity about who you are and who you are becoming.
This is a call to those seeking deeper meaning, a stronger sense of self, and a life of true purpose. Our Nature Quest is an invitation to embark on a transformative experience where you step beyond the familiar and into presence, facing the unknown but certain… To return with clarity and connection.
If you feel the pull, trust it. Whether you're seeking adventure, insight, or a deeper sense of belonging, answering this call will guide and open you to the power of possibility and change.
What is a Nature Quest?
The Nature Quest is a four-day guided experience. Together, we’ll explore and prepare for your 24-hour solo in nature, where you’ll sit with your intention and connect with the wisdom within you and the natural world. Each participant’s journey enriches the group, creating a powerful collective experience.
Why a Nature Quest?
Since ancient times, people have retreated into nature for clarity and transformation. This timeless rite of passage reconnects you to your wilder, wiser self, using rituals and practices rooted in both ancient traditions and modern ecopsychology. You’ll face challenges, sit with your fears, and emerge empowered – grounded in your place in nature and life.
Your Journey
The first step is to commit. Once you sign up, we’ll guide you through a preparation process to help you clarify your intention and immerse you in the practices that will support your journey. Through deep listening, presence, and connection to the land, you'll discover what’s waiting to emerge.
Your 24-hour solo is a powerful time to be with yourself, in silence, without your usual home-comforts including food, to allow you to focus on what truly matters. Knowing others are also on their journey creates a deep sense of belonging and shared purpose.
Upon your return, we’ll gather around the fire to share stories and celebrate. The final day will be dedicated to integrating your insights and planning your return to the world, carrying the lessons and transformations you’ve gained.
