Forest Play: Movement and Reconnection Games

FOREST PLAY (10h-13h)

The Forest Play - sessions are fun, natural and reconnecting outdoor group gatherings, focussed on restoring or replenishing energy and fun by playing and interacting with nature's healing elements.

Combining tension-releasing stretches, gentle flow-restoring work-outs with found trees, branches, logs, stones, hills..., doing silent or touch meditations and playful reconnecting games, we're able to bring out the little child in ourselves and start to feel free, unassuming, adventurous and connected with our own nature again, bringing back and sharing the joy and vitality we all carry deeply within. Our hearts gradually open and start reconnecting again.

The 3h-sessions focus on gradually increasing physical resilience, but include emotional and mental aspects as well to restore general holistic balance in body, mind and spirit. There is no competitive stake to it, there are no extremes or high-intensity actions involved. But we do play gently with personal comfort zones, sliding in and out, at times challenging our personal beliefs, convictions and limitations.

The sessions have powerful therapeutic value. They are developed, customised and guided by specialised trauma therapist Ken Christiaens. All exercises, while feeling light and fun, have a foundation in trauma and tension-releasing therapies, with elements of inner child work, constellations, reiki, NLP and others. Nature's increased healing potential is fully being harnessed here.
