WHO ACCOMPANIES THE RETREAT?

Hi, I'm Olivia. I am a trained and certified systemic nature therapist living in Berlin. I grew up in a small town in Germany, surrounded by forests, fields and meadows, and eventually moved to Vienna to study business. After becoming a management consultant, I left this path every now and then - as a kitesurf instructor in Miami or while living and working in the vibrant city of Tel Aviv.

Being outside has played an important role in my life during all these times - from being in the forest for hours during my childhood, to being one with the sea and the wind while kitesurfing or escaping the city for the countryside whenever I can.

I have learned that there is so much to discover in nature - especially about ourselves. We live in a living relationship and a reciprocal connection with natural spaces and the elements within them. All of this has an impact on how we feel, think and act. I want to create a space where you can explore this, and where you can get in touch with yourself and with what wants to be seen.
